    Matt, you are doing one of the best things that you can do when your little one is growing up, and that is taking as many pics as you possibly can. I know that they are now, but as Maddy continues to grow up,,,these photos will be your most prized possession ever!!!! And the amazing places where you have taken her pics are priceless!! She is a doll baby in this picture, as she is in all of them!!

    She is losing her baby look. She looks like a little lady in these pictures. She is beautiful just like her mother. Time flies with your kids.

    That kid is way too cute for your own good. You’re going to have to fight away the boys before you know it.

    Love the boots…and the bangs :)

    It goes by way too fast… I was looking at my 19 month old this morning as I put her in the car and couldn’t believe how fast it has gone! They are so much fun though, aren’t they? Love the picture! Thanks for sharing your lives with the world. :o )

    I know just the feeling. Even though they are the same person, and you love who are they becoming you always miss who they were. I sometimes really wish I could return to those days for just a few hours and hold my babies again.

    The outfit is adorable, and of course Maddy too!

    I just finished reading the wonderful story of you and Liz and Madeline. I found myself crying on almost every page. Such love you have for Liz and Madeline. . . I know Maddy will grow up to be a loving, happy, and content child because you are her father, and you will tell her the story of her mother, and you surround her with love and family. My best to you always.

    She looks just like her mom. Whenever your missing Liz, just look at your daughter and you will always remember.

    Your Maddy is precious and you can see the love in her face – as well as yours! Treasure every moment with her. I’m the great-grandmother of four little boys and expecting the first little girl in September. They all are so much a part of my life – I love living!

Brooke is a very lucky lady!

    A beautiful love story by a remarkable human being who touched my inner core. Liz came to life on the pages and I felt as if I knew her. You are a true spirit and will carry on with that adorable girl. Thank you for sharing this story.

    She looks so much older than the pictures in the book! She is going to be a looker when she gets older. Watch out! Love the bangs. You cut those yourself? Very adorable! :)
