1 Year

Family members have requested video footage of Madi's birthday. The videos wouldn't upload, but below I have provided a play by play. I hope you enjoy it as much as Madison did.

Happy 1 Great Year of Life Madison!

Madison loved the cake, and then wasn't sure, and then loved the cake again.



Talking to Grandpa Phil, who is in Japan, but there in spirit...and on the phone.
...As Grandma Julie would say "Pure Joy".

Bath time, then presents...

I love my baby girl.

We sure love you Bear-Bear.

Best Cousins Ever

This is just the beginning of matching outfits...

Madison and Sienna are not sure about each other yet... but one day they will be best friends.

Madison's "silly face". She makes this face to make everyone laugh. She thinks it is so funny ...and it is.

My Favorite Little Person

The Flower Progression...

As soon as we got the toys out, there was no hope for a smile. She is becoming quite demanding ...uh oh.

Busy Baby

Meet Madison. She gets into Everything.

She is no longer interested in her toys. Her favorite things to play with are: Trash cans, electrical cords, laundry, and basically anything dangerous. She loves to open cupboards and drawers and she will put almost everything in her mouth. It is not uncommon to find a wad of paper or cardboard stuck to the roof of her mouth.


Madi is so silly. She makes all kinds of faces on demand, and She loves making people laugh. Her new tricks include waving, clapping her hands and reaching when she wants something. If we put her in her walker on the wood floor in the kitchen she will run around the island over and over. Pretty soon she will figure out that she can walk without her walker.

Everybody's Got a Laughing Place.

I have been waiting for this. I cannot explain the joy it gives me to hear Madison's little baby giggles. Danny and I made her laugh for about 15 minutes last night. If you listen closely it sounds like Madi has a permanent bubble in her throat when she laughs.

It was totally worth the wait.

I know most people who visit this blog are only interested in one person.

MADISON

I'm not sure if it is a reflex, or if she really wants to eat everything ....



And this lovely video, purely for your entertainment.

My Little Big Girl

Madison is not a baby anymore. She's borderline toddler. At least, that is what SHE thinks.

Madison wears size 2 diapers.

Madison eats rice cereal.



Madison sits like a big girl in her bumbo.

Madison Rolls

Madison Laughs





Madison demands our attention.

Madison is happy as a clam as long as we play with her, but the moment we stand up or leave her she begins acting like this....I blame it on everyone giving her too much attention.
