This Saturday we went to visit Aunt Bridget and Uncle Chris. Uncle Chris is very talented with the camera and asked if Madeline would model for him so he could take some photos for his up-and-coming side business (which will be a big success, we’re sure), and of course we were more than happy to oblige!

Thanks for having us Aunt Bridget and Uncle Chris. We had such a wonderful time that day. We love you (and Madeline really, really, loves your dogs).

We’re a little late with this post, but Madeline’s first birthday has come and gone. It’s hard to believe that it’s already been a year. Sometimes things seem to be moving so slow, and the next thing you know a year has gone by and your daughter is eating her first birthday cake.

We are truly blessed to have such a happy and healthy baby (ok…toddler) as well as such an amazing and supportive group of family and friends who have helped out greatly whenever we’ve needed them.

Madeline is now really walking around, so much so that I finally relented and put up baby gates this past weekend. She’s also now totally off the formula and bottles (HOORAY!!!!) and she’s moved up to the next room in daycare. Today was her first day and she did great. I think she enjoyed seeing her old friends who moved up a couple months ago.

What a year…we can only imagine what’s in store for us this next year!

Well, it’s been a couple weeks since she took her first real steps, and for the most part she still prefers crawling to walking, but she’s starting to make the transition now.
