Top 10 ways you can tell Maddy is our second child...

10--There are about 2,000 (yes--that is supposed to be 2,000!) fewer pictures of Maddy than there were of Ellie at her age
9-- We allow her to eat things off of the floor--even after the 10 second rule has come and long surpassed
8-- She sometimes doesn't get a daily bath--(or sometimes an every-other-day bath for that matter!)
7-- She has had to learn how to do much more on her own (i.e. rolling over, sitting up, playing, crawling and now standing)
6-- We allow her to wear clothes with "mystery stains" on them
5-- She owns two bracelets--instead of a matching one for each outfit --and never wears either one
4-- At nine months, we have yet to have a professional portrait taken of her (Ellie was every 3 months) and never sent out a birth announcement!
3-- She goes out in public with "oatmeal or squash face"
2-- We sometimes forget to brush her hair and do the "finger comb" on the way to church
AND THE NUMBER ONE WAY YOU CAN TELL MADDY IS OUR SECOND CHILD IS....
1-- All the bruises she has all over her body from all the "loves" her older sister Ellie gives her

We love you dearly Maddy! Even if our parenting has become way more negligent than it was with Ellie...
