We stopped in Savannah on our way down to the beach. Maddie had fun playing at Grammie & Grandpie's house. Grammie had lots of magazines that she could throw around & tear up. Maddie was in heaven.
I bought this outfit in honor of Grandpie & for his love of sailing.
Mimi-D & Grandpappa came to visit us during their short stay in Atlanta. Maddie had a great time seeing & playing with them. She proudly showed them her new found talent of walking.
This is something I shot recently of Maddie. She has learned to shake her head. She does not yet know what it actually means...but it sure is funny. You just start shaking your head & she shakes right along with you!
Hey everybody. Happy Saturday. We had such a great day. I played with Momma, Grammie, & Grandpie all day. Momma & Grammie picked up my toys at least 8 times & each time I pulled them ALL back out. It was pretty funny. Grandpie pushed me all around the house in my pink car. I ate Mexican food for dinner. It was so yummy! Finally Daddy came home tonight from Tennessee. I missed him so much. I hope he never leaves again. What a wonderful day. Grammie & Grandpie leave tomorrow so it will be a sad day.
Yeah! I finally received the rest of the professional pictures that we had made last month. They turned out great...considering the circumstances (Maddie was cranky, teething & all over the place.) These are my favorites. Thanks Frank!
Maddie is 13 months old today. She is changing so much. Her hair is growing, she's starting to walk & she so much fun (not that she wasn't before.) She still has no teeth...however....they are coming, eventually. She is drooling even more & she always either has her toy, passy, or hand in her mouth. She will no longer allow me to even touch her gums. She loves playing with her toys, watching Sesame Street, & eating. The only thing that she doesn't like is cottage cheese. We'll try it again later. She is also not too fond of whole milk. She even likes salt & vinegar chips. She also loves throwing her food on the floor under her chair. So we clean the floor about 3 times daily. If Maddie's lucky...we miss a piece of food, that way she can eat it the next day. We finally turned the car seat forward & Maddie's loves being in the car. She is getting into everything now too. Kris & I are having the times of our lives with our precious daughter.
Last week, Maddie & I went over to Aunt Allison & Lucy's house to play & catch up. We had a great time. We took the girl's on a stroller ride through downtown Decatur. We also ate lunch & Lucy had a birthday present for Maddie! Lucy has 8 teeth, Maddie still has none.

It was fun trying to take a picture of 2 wiggleworms!

These were some of the pictures taken last month by our photographer's dad. I am still waiting for the rest of them so this is just a preview. Maddie was in a really bad mood. So hopefully the other pics turned out good too.
Maddie is now starting to walk. She is only taking baby steps...but that is definitely progress. She only does it when we get down on her level & call out to her. When she reaches us, she is so proud & excited. This weekend we turned the car seat around. Our baby is really growing up, however still no teeth. Enjoy the video!
This is just a cute video I made of Maddie from a couple of weeks ago. Today was her 1 year checkup. Maddie weighed in at 22 lbs., 29 in. long. She is growing like a weed! She got her shots today & she screamed like crazy. Poor thing. I felt so bad that I was letting them do this to my child. Dr. Vickie says that she normally recommends at one year the child visits the dentist to make sure that their teeth are healthy....however...Maddie still has no teeth.
This past weekend we celebrated Maddie's 1st birthday. What a great time we had. The festivities began on Friday with Grammie, Grandpie, Nanny, & Poppy arriving. Saturday morning Nanny, Maddie, Karli, Mason, Edie, & I went to the pool so that Maddie could get all of her energy out to nap good. Maddie had a great time at her party. She mingled with the crowd, got to see lots of her family, & hung out with some of her friends. Uncle Rick was on call & he & Randy had to leave early we he got paged with an unexpected case of priaprism. What a great laugh we all had. For those of you who do not know what priaprism is....let's just say that the Cialis lasted WAY TOO LONG. Maddie sure did enjoy her birthday cake. She pretty much demolished it. It was everywhere...in her ears, hair, & all over her whole body. Grammie took her straight up to the bath! Afterwards she opened her presents. Her cousins, Mason & Sam helped her unwrap them. She did like eating the wrapping paper too. She got some great presents. This morning she enjoyed the toys that I put together late last night. Maddie had one of the worst nights that she has had in months. She was up crying at 12:30, 2:00, & 2:30. I finally put her in our bed at 2:30. She then slept until 5. This is when the sugar rush hit from ALL the birthday cake. She was ready to play. We put her back in her room & she then slept till 7:30. Thank goodness. This afternoon we did our 1 year pictures with our photographer's dad. I can't wait to get the pictures & of course I'll post them!
