Madison Jade Li Zhi Robson
 
 

My name is Madison Jade Li Zhi Robson, but I prefer to be called Maddie.
Li Zhi is my Chinese name, which translated means "beautiful orchid."
I am 15 months old. I was born on December 11th, 2004 in GuangDong Province, China. When I was 9 months old, my mom and dad came to China to adopt me and bring me home to my forever family in Eaton, Colorado. Before I was adopted I lived in Yang Xi orphanage with lots of other babies.

I love my new home in Colorado. I have my own room full of lots of toys to play with and lots of books to read. I have a big family with lots of aunts and uncles and cousins and grandparents that like to spoil me! I have a puppy dog named Lil Joe that I like to tease and play with and a goldfish named Mr. Fish Styx that just swims around in his bowl all day. 
I like to go shopping with my mommy and take rides in the car. I love to play on the swings at the park by our house. I really love to take baths in my big duckie bathtub and splash around and play with all of my bathtub toys. I like to brush my teeth and keep them pretty white. I like to read my books and I especially like it when my mommy and daddy read to me before I go to bed at night.
I just learned how to walk, so now my mom and dad say I'm into everything and they are always following me around to make sure I stay out of trouble - I guess! I'm learning some sign language and a few words. I am teething, which really stinks! So far I have 7 teeth and at least 3 more ready to pop out.
Every day I love to wake up and give my favorite toys a kiss and then feed my fish and dog and eat my cheerios and get dressed and ready for a new day of exploring and learning all I can.

Little China Doll

What a doll

This picture of me was taken just after my first birthday.
The beautiful red dress that I'm wearing belongs to my chinese doll from Aunt Heidi.
On my first birthday I was 29 inches tall and weighed 15 pounds.
