Five on Friday {Maddie Jane Edition}

Happy Friday! I wanted to change up my Friday Favorites a little bit and do five things about Maddie Jane. She is constantly growing and changing, and I swear that personality is blooming by the minute. So here are five things about our girl!

1. She is creative. 

Maddie Jane is all about a pen and paper. She is constantly asking to "collllor" - the brighter the pen, the better. We have caught her a couple times coloring on the wall or counter tops, but thankfully nothing a magic eraser couldn't get off. This past weekend we finally busted out the paints from Santa, and she was in HEAVEN. But she is her Mama's girl and absolutely freaked out when she got it on her hands. Same thing goes if she spills her drink or snack.. she immediately starts crying because she made a "MESSSSSSS"


2. She is fearless. 

Like a little too fearless. She is constantly crawling and climbing on anything and everything. I say "be careful" at least sixty times a day. She has zero fear. And way too often she does trust falls to us off the changing table or down the stairs. One day she is seriously going to bust it! This week she went to the dentist for the first time and handled it like a champ! She literally giggled the entire time. And she was rewarded with her favorite thing ever - STICKAS!


3. She is either on or off. 

As Honey loving calls her, "Busy Bee".. She doesn't sit still. She is ON THE GO all the time. She has so much energy, it exhausts me watching her sometimes! Little girl is always moving.. her favorite thing right now is twirling and is pretty adamant about having on a shirt or dress that is good for twirling! And the second she hears a good song, she is busting out the dance moves (poor thing has her Daddy's moves unfortunately..) But because she is so busy, she sleeps HARD. Every night she is out by 8pm (in her big girl bed, eek!) and is dead to the world till 6/7am.


4. She looks like Daddy, but acts like Mama. 

She is AJ Pryor's twin! I catch them making the same faces at me all the time. But her attitude, is 100% Mama. She is giggly, and cuddly, and sassy and just a complete DIVA. And I love it so stinkin much. I actually went back and read some old blog posts from when she was just a few months old and I said she wouldn't be our shy child. Isn't it crazy how you already can tell such distinct character traits at such a young age?? She is the life of the party.


5. She loves BIG.

Maddie girl knows her people. We (finally!) get to see our friends and family so often now, that she knows who her people are - and she loves them BIG. (This was one of my biggest fears in California.. that she wouldn't know all the people in our lives that are so incredibly special..) She will walk around the house singing about her Gigi and CC .. every day when we pull into the driveway she says "Honey, where are you!?" And when she gets to see them, she SQUEALS in excitement. She gives the best hugs, and the cheesiest grins when she gets to be surrounded by her favorites. She has such a big heart, and such a sweet soul, and I am so incredibly proud that she is ours.
