Madison turned one back on June 11 and I am finally posting about it. I can't believe Madison is one years old. The time has gone by way too fast and our baby is growing up. This past year has been so amazing with sweet adorable Madison. Our happy Madison has been the greatest joy to us and life gets better with having her in our lives each day. We are so grateful for adoption because without it we wouldn't have our sweet precious Madison. There is lot's I could write, but who has the time so here are just a few things about our Madison.
Madison loves sleeping with her face smashed down in the mattress with her bum up in the air. Seriously so funny and cute to watch her on our baby monitor. We need to get a picture of it.
Madison is very social and waves and says hi to everyone. Seriously wherever we go she is always waving to everyone.
Madison makes lots and lots of funny noises too many to name. Madison loves to say "uh oh". Madison talks and babbles all day long.
Madison prefers Mommy over Daddy right now even though she loves her daddy and gets so excited when he comes home from work each day.
Madison's smiles is so adorable and when she giggles it is seriously the best. You can't help, but smile and laugh too.
Madison still only has her two bottom teeth, is not walking yet even though if she didn't think about it she could.
Madison will sometimes sing along with me when I sing to her.
Madison does not use a bottle anymore and drinks well out of her sippy cup. Yeah no more formula to buy for us!!!!

So much more to write, but no time so enjoy the pictures.
Having fun at the fountains at Gateway.
Madison with the Goats at Wheeler Farm. Madison wouldn't let go of the bag of bread that I brought to feed the ducks. She is so funny.
Madison's first trip to Seven Peaks this Summer.
Madison had a blast at Seven Peaks and loves the water. Madison crawls towards the waves at the wave pool and is not afraid. Madison ends of drinking lots of water, but she had lots of fun.
At her one year check up Madison weighed:
Madison was 28 inches long at her one year check up which makes her almost double her length from her birth. Madison was 14.5 inches long at birth.
Madison's one year teddy bear comparison.
Madison's one year comparison to Mat's hand.
The next few pictures are some of Madison's 12 month pictures. At the time of this "photo shoot" Madison was not her normally happy self and so we didn't get any good ones of her smiling, but she is still so stinkin' cute.
We had a birthday party for Madison at our house on her birthday. We had a BBQ with lots of good food and family. Madison is watching her cousins play with all of her toys.
Madison kinda trying to open some of her presents.
Madison's cousins helping her open her gifts. I think they opened most of them for her. Madison got lots of new cute clothes and some fun new toys. Madison was spoiled. Thanks to everyone.
Madison enjoying a birthday card. Who needs presents?
I made and M&M cake for Madison (of course) and some M&M themed cupcakes as well. They turned out nice for not being a pro or anything. Of course her party was pink and brown. I even made a banner using my big shot, but did not get a good picture of it to show.
All of the family singing Happy Birthday to Madison. She got a little scared and almost started to cry, but she didn't end up crying.
I love this face.
Madison staring at a piece of her chocolate cake.
Her first bite of chocolate cake.
What do I do with it? I think that is what she was thinking.
So excited!
There are several more pictures of her eating her first birthday cake.
I thought it would be fun to recap the year of comparing Madison to her teddy bear. Madison at the hospital when she weighed 4lbs 5 ounces. I can't believe she was ever so small.
Our beautiful blue eyed babe.
