At the park...





This was our first trip to the park. It was not planned...otherwise I wouldn't have her in a dress. She cried when I took her out of the swing, so we were there for a long time. She really liked the slide. She pushed herself off without me holding her hand. She's such a big girl!

1 Year Checkup

Maddie Grace weighs 20 lbs, 4 oz. She is 30 inches long and has 10 teeth (with 2 more working their way in). She is a little commedian. She has mastered blowing a raspberry and just recently learned to blow kisses. She is amazing.



The new ride

This was Maddie's gift from Mamaw and Papaw. We thought she wouldn't be big enough for it, but she took off! Her feet don't reach the pedals, but she can walk it like Fred Flintstone. It is too cute!

Mommy's sweetheart

We were putting Maddie to bed after a long day of birthday events, and we realized we never gave her the presents we bought her. She got so many great things at her party, I think we will save our gifts for Christmas! Everything except the doll...

Daddy's girl

What a difference a year makes!


The botanical gardens

Daddy found a hose with a leak in it, and of course he ran Maddie through it!


The perfect combination of Mommy and Daddy...a hammer in one hand while wearing a tiara!


1st Haircut!!

Marty and I took off of work on his and Maddie's actual birthday. We had family pictures made, then we took Maddie Grace for her first haircut. They didn't take off much. Maddie thought she was big stuff sitting in the chair, and she grinned the whole time. She played peek-a-boo with the cape. She had everyone laughing.




Presents

Maddie is a little too young to understand opening presents. She wanted to be on the move, so all the other kids opened her gifts for her.


The first present Maddie opened was a Curious George toy. That was enough excitement for her. She grabbed it and took off!


Asleep before we pulled out of the parking lot! Cousin Hailey had a great time!

Cake Time

Maddie Grace has never had sweets, other than one popcicle. We weren't sure she would like her cake...

Daddy followed suit with his birthday cake! All of the children thought it was hilarious.
She shared a bite with mommy before I took it away from her. She ate so much we all thought she would be sick!









Maddie Grace is 1!!

We had the best time at Maddie Grace's 1st birthday party. We held it at a local "baby gym". The kids could run wild, and they had a blast. They especially loved the parachute and the bubbles. Maddie Grace kept up with all of her older friends. She was in to everything!




Who had more fun...the kids or the parents?
