Look Who's 1 and SO MUCH FUN!!!

Our witto Madison Mae is one! This was seriously the fastest year of our lives. I wish I could go back and stress a little less and cherish her a little more. It's a tough job being the first child--the guinea pig that shapes and molds a mom and dad. But Madi is a saucy, resilient little warrior princess and has conquered her first year beautifully. We love, love, love this great big girl in her teeny tiny baby body. She has been a new baby since finally cutting her first teeth (the front bottom teeth--her little "monster teeth" that are coming in at a 45 degree angle) and getting some antibiotics for a bad earache. She lets us sleep in past 8:00 each morning and chuckles, laughs, sings, "talks", entertains us cheerfully all day. People are constantly waving at me and I finally figured out it's because Madi is greeting each passerby with a big wave from the stroller. Her favorite word is, "HI!" She'll say it a 1,000 times a day--what a friendly little lass. She LOVES Super Why and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and sings the theme songs with me all day. She is soooooo close to walking and will often spontaneously pop up and stand solo in the middle of the living room or kitchen. She especially loves the thrill of climbing the stairs. She loves to wrestle with Daddy, soar through the air, jump off the stairs to him, and rough-and-tumble with her doting daddy. She loves her puppy, Lily. Mommy was watching a cute 2-year old girl, Arwen, and Madi enjoyed many walks to the park and playground fun with her new friend. Madi has provided so much light and sparkle to our lives. Thank you, Madison, for bringing us so much joy! WE LOVE YOU MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY, BABYGIRL! Then:
