Madison's 11 Month Happenings

Holy COW my Miss Maddie Sue is almost a year old!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN'T believe she is 11 months old, and am sitting here wondering where the time has gone. Maddie is as fun as ever, and is turning into a little person right in front of our eyes. I am amazed with how much she can do, and how she's always learning!

Tinker Bell Photoshoot- Maddie smiles for the camera and I LOVE IT!!! I always get too many good pictures and it is hard for me to pick just a few....so here are several for your enjoyment.

 I loved it and thought it was such a thoughtful gift.

Enjoying our time all together.

Us at The Hobbit

 One of the highlights of my trip home was spending sometime with my friend Kari and meeting her daughter...who just happens to be a Madison too. My Maddie and her Maddie are just 3 weeks apart! I just love that we have little girls the same age, who can grow up being friends like us!

 Notice their differences in height!!!! My Maddie is in the 3rd percentile and Kari's Maddie is in the 100th percentile! Crazy huh? I guess both ends of the spectrum are represented here!!! Thanks for coming over Kari, it meant a lot to me!

 Having bath time at Grandma's- Maddie loved all the cool toys G-ma had!

 The Gals all dolled up for church

 It was a busy month full of many good memories. I am so grateful for all the wonderful things we could do, and that after our world travels (Scottie) we all ended safely back into each others arms, as a reunited family of 3. Now this Momma needs to get planning her big girl's 1 year old birthday party! Ideas please!!!!!!!!!!!! Help!
