OMG!!! That is hillarious!!!! LMAO!
this is so cute and HILARIOUS!
wow…you better lock her in her room when it comes time for her to go to college
That is so funny!
That’s adorable. She was afraid you were getting dehydrated
oh wow. i see a case race win in someone’s college future!! hahaha. she is so awesome, matt.
It’s kind of impossible not to adore this kid – she’s just so endearing!
That is crazy funny!
Lol!! Well at least you identified the signs early.
LOVE this! ha ha ha what a cutie.
Thanks for the laugh! Enjoy the rest of your trip.
Cute. Love hearing her talk.
You guys have come a long way.
When you mentioned the swings at your favorite bar, I thought it was Akumal. I’ll be there in March with my husband and twin 2 year old girls, for the second year in a row. We love that bar too.
Damn – if she isn’t the CUTEST! You must have done something really hysterical the last time you got hammered – she wants a repeat!
Just don’t show her how loose change can bounce – then you will be eskayrooeepied!
Glad to see you both in such good spirits……
OMG – I am LMAO at her – soooo funny!!!
OMG adorable
Hilarious! Everybody drink!
That is fantastic! Thanks for the smile.
That is hilarious! She’s trying to tell you something Dad!
Steeped in hilarity.
Seriously. So awesome. Maddy is the cutest!
Do you think all the Bar hoping she has done with you is finally catching up????
God that was to perfect…..
Whoooooo 38degrees in the mn today….
I’m sure it’s a tad warmer down there,
hope you dont end up to drunk…..
That is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while . . . .
~C~
That’s AWESOME.
It’s so great that you have so many pictures and video of all the cute little moments.
Hilarious!!! heheheehe!!! Too cute!
Maddy sure mustve been trying to get sumthing from you. She wanted you drunk so that you couldnt say no and not remeber it in the morning. That made me laugh out loud. You are doing a fantastic job Matt.
That’s awesome! Ha! I think that she’s definitely one to watch in the coming years!! Maddy…you silly girl!
“Hi, I’m Maddy and I forced my Dad into alcoholism.”
I love that!! My cousin did the same thing at Madeline’s age but watching her do it was great!!!
ADORABLE!!!
Awwwww that is adorable. Bottom’s up daddy.
Beer as a daddy sippy cup. Love it!
My son used to freak out every time he saw a silver bullet. The problem there was that he would insist on drinking it himself and he was only a year old!
that is the cutest thing i’ve seen in a long time! =)
That is hilarious!!
How adorable is that! Toddlers are incredible
You might have a party girl brewing (that pun came out of nowhere!) glad to see you’re having a great time Matt.
Love it.
But really love hearing Grandma C’s giggle in the background – she has the best laugh!
I’m pretty sure that somehow, she’s related to me. Sorry.
You better watch out, that kids going to be busting out the beer bong before long!
Methinks somebody likes Drunk Daddy. LOL…he must let her do things Sober Daddy doesn’t!!!
that is just beyond hilarious and adorable!!!!
LOVE it!
That is too funny!! Does this mean she will want to have drinking contests with you when she’s older?
Madeline is my hero!
lol thanks for the laugh I needed a good laugh
too cute!
This little sweetie is just too darn cute for her own good!!!!
Such a good helper!
Also, at least you’ll have somebody to drink with when she gets older!
Matt, while I regularly visit (always have since very early on) I don’t often comment. This however, made me laugh out loud it a way that I haven’t done for a long time, and cheered me up no end. Maddie is gorgeous and sweet and I think she’s going to be an awesome person when she’s big. You’re incredible. Thank you, for posting this, for making me smile. Jo in the UK
Hilarious! LMAO!
And how generous-spirited you are to endure it just to keep your wee girl happy.
That is both hilarious and oddly darling. She wants her daddy to do what she is doing.
How Funny!
“Drink up…drink it…hey! we’re supposed to do it together Daddy. Look at the camera…hey, together.” She is such a funny girl….!!! Really has her own mind, huh?? So cute!!
That’s it, commuter school for Maddie. You will need to keep an eye on that one. X)
Mine does the same thing! She also likes to make people hug or kiss. It’s pretty funny. I love that you caught that on video.
it’s also cool how she’s throwing back the sippy cup at the same time.
Hahahaha!!! CUTE! Is it ok to say that? ha!
OMGosh! That’s hilarious! LMAO!!
She’s too much!
A clever “enabler” at that…way too cute.
That is too funny! Hope you guys are having a good time! Looks like you are!
Not just an Enabler, but a Pusher! So adorable!
Haha! That is great. She is soo adorable
Love seeing new pics of her and reading your blog!
Too funny. I’ll make a recommendation – in 18 years DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO.
It will make you think too many things you won’t want to be thinking when your daughter is in college! 
SOOOO freakin’ funny!
That was hysterical! Thanks for the laugh Maddy!
Chug, chug, chug!
Too freaking funny!
Cute! They catch on fast….at least she didn’t grab your bottle to drink!
You know what they say about the apple and the tree…
That video is definitely a keeper.
Hilarious! But considering the 2 times I’ve hung with you two it’s been in bars, I’m not totally surprised.
OMG that is hilarious Matt….I think you will have your hands full when she is in college!!
Nice to see that she can hang with the best of em’. Thanks for the laugh!
I have not stopped laughing. I needed this so badly. Thank you.
That was really funny, I can’t believe how well she talks. Glad to see you guys have such a good time in Mexico.
Have a Pacifico for me. I won’t be having one for quite some time. Connor is going to be a big brother in June! Hopefully Maddy won’t teach him any of those <> habits – at least not yet!
That is cute! When my daughter wants to read a book she pushes me to a couch, sits on my lap, pulls out the book and says “Read it.” There’s no saying “no” to this 20 month old
That is sooooo funny! She is such a character! At least she’s not the one drinking it. We can’t set a beer down around my two-year-old son unsupervised or he’ll throw it back. I’m glad to see you guys having fun! : )
That’s a hoot. I see a Florida Spring Break party in her future!!
Hilarious! Totally made my morning!
OMG. Hilarious stuff! When it’s time for her to go to college – look out!!
That is too funny!
hahahaha
she’s great
I love that place!!!!
Hilarious! Next comes beer pong! Love it!
Absolutely adorable…she is so freaking CUTE!
I was waiting for the “chug, chug, chug!” hehehehehe That’s too funny
That was awesome!
Soooooo precious!!!! You two made my morning
awww…Matt…she just wants you to have a good time!
…and apparently your were nursing your beer a little too long!
That is hilarious. She is just so cute!~
Too cute!!!!
Thats is tooooo funny
She is ADORABLE!
That totally made me smile! Hilarious!
Oh wow! That’s SO funny!
I’ve had an awful day, and I dont think I could’ve smiled bigger.
Thanks, M (squared)
this made my LIFE!
I have never posted but I have read your blog since the day I saw your story in People magainze, I have cried and laughed. Thank you for all you have done and will do for widows/widowers.
now PLEASE do me a BIG favor..send your picture of Santa to Ellen Degeneres…I LOVE her show and she always has the funniest pictures of people…and yours is a WINNER!!!
That was great!
Oh thats good. I think you’re in trouble. Now if only I had the video of 15 seven year olds at my sons birthday a couple weeks ago chanting chug chug chug(although it was only mountain dew) Still… I think them and Maddy may hang with similar crowds in the future.
hahahahahahahaha
wait, no.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Matt that is the funniest video! My 20 month old does the same thing, if she’s drinking, everyone is! Maddie is just beautiful, I can’t believe how big she’s getting, and all that hair! She looks so much like Liz it’s amazing. You’re doing such a great job, keep it up! And thank you for sharing your story with all of us strangers. It’s beautiful and truley touches so many people.
Love Akumal! Spent a week down there last February after hearing my parent’s go on and on about it. Shrimp tacos at the beach bar are the best. Still craving them! Madeline is adorable!
Awesome! Now you need to teach her to say, “Chug! Chug! Chug!”
Heather in MN
Somebody wants to get her daddy drunk.
You’re not keeping up with her, i.e. you’re losing a chugging contest to a little girl.
That’s OK; I’ve lost to many a girl in many a drinking contest.
I cannot stop laughing…you two are priceless!!
You should only be worried once she can place your beverage order and do it correctly.
OMG there are no words for how awesome that is. LOVE HER!!
Maddie! Silly little girl!!!
She’s an adorable little girl and obviously loved by you… but it is sobering to consider that kids learn from example. Not trying to be judgemental at all… just something to think about:

I am waiting for your new stories.

Sorry if I had problems in writting.
omg this is absolutely priceless!
That is too funny!!

That has to be one of the funniest things I have ever seen!
OMG Matt – that is so adorable! She’s going to keep you on your toes, I can tell! =)

Congrats on the nomination for best weblog of the year for the 2010 Bloggies!
Hahahahahaha! She’s too cute!
Congrats on the bloggie nomination, Matt! I hope you win!
Does your website have a “like” button? That is awesome!
Bottoms up pops!!
Too cute! She is so sweet and holy balls she is growing up so fast!
Serious cuteness
Hahaha, she is too cute!
i’d say she just knew you might need a drink with a toddler around.
She is the cutest thing! You are so blessed to have that little ball of happiness in your life!
That video is truly *hillarious*. And perfect. I just did a post the other day about my 11-month old cracking open a bottle of tequila (he was upset that I might not kiss him on the mouth because he’d played in piss-water in the toilet earlier, so he was using the liquor as an antibacterial mouthwash). I haven’t been *here* in forever!! In October a damn pine tree tried to eat me (fell on my car while I was driving), and I was on a vent for a while…so I *literally* had a good excuse for forgetting who I was for a bit. I hadn’t visited since then because I couldn’t remember all my links (who needs shortcuts?!). I was excited to read all about India, the book, MN, the cruise, and all that bid’ness. I plan on staying in touch…again….and the pine trees won’t dare mess with me now. They know what happened to the other guy.
@Ashley Hast – I am so glad you are “back” and that you WON! Keep getting well and stronger. Thankfully your great sense of humor is intact!!
LMAO!! That is friggin hilarious!
OMG, Keep her away from me. I’ll be drunker than usual.
That is fucking fantastic.
So funny. Next she’ll hit you with “CHUG, CHUG, CHUG, CHUG Daddy!” She’s one-of-a-kind
Madeline is awesome!
Chug a lug!!!
Adorable!
OMG times an effing million. As a new visitor (and fellow Flickrite and Babble list neighbor, I’m officially coming back EVERY DAY. Love this.
holy shit, that is effing great.
That is hysterical!
Maybe she was trying to get you drunk so that you would pass out and she could steal your wallet to do some shopping
They start early you know!
I’ve been a long time follower, but I’ve never commented until now. This was quite possibly the most hysterical yet adorable video. Maddie is beyond entertaining. Thank you for sharing your precious gift with the internet world!
Hi Matt,
I just spent the last week reading every entry in your blog (when my 10-month-old daughter was sleeping). I laughed and I cried as I followed you and Maddy on your emotional journey of the last few years. I know all of this has been said before, but I can’t not say a few things. I am so sorry you lost Liz! I am so grateful that you have Madeline in your life! You are an amazing Dad and wonderful man! Thank you for sharing your life and story. Thank you for sharing your adorable daughter. Thank you for sharing your adventures and photographs. Thank you for sharing yourself, your thoughts, your emotions, your vulnerability. I can’t wait to read your book and I look forward to following the journey of you, Maddy, and the Foundation for as long as you decide to share with us. I have a lot of connections in the MN (same area as you) and I hope to be able to participate in a Foundation event in the future (I’m living in the UK now, but will be back in the States before too long) and meet you and Maddy. Wishing you and your family all the best in 2010! And that video is hysterical – hope you had a great vacation.
She’s a bit of a drinker… that maddy. Ha. HIlarious.

Thanks for the laugh.
she’s a little badass.
oops, meaning she’s got a cheeky side to her, not bad.

I wouldn’t worry until she asks you to buy a funnel and a long stretch of hose… then, maybe it would be time for some therapy

This is so funny. Glad I found your blog
Your daughter is BEAUTIFUL and AWESOME. Wishing you all the best…
