She was all smiles, even at one day old!
Today is Madi's 1st Birthday!!! WOW!! Happy Birthday Madilyn! It's crazy to think that we now have a ONE year old! I can hardly believe how fast this past year has flown by! Even more, I can't believe how much one little girl has changed our lives SO much!! Madilyn is the love of our lives. Her smiles and laughs melt us so quickly! Like every other first time parent, we are obviously very obsessed with our child- but it's kinda hard NOT to be!! Not much has changed since my update a week ago of all the new things that Madi's been doing. I've been trying to think of something Madi would like to look back at and read in 20 or 30 years from now when she's having children of her own, to remember how she was as a one year old. So, for her first birthday I'd thought I'd include a few of her likes and dislikes. While most one year olds tend to be very similar with the foods they eat and the games they play, I'll try to keep it specific to Madi.
Some of her likes include: Sleeping with her lamb, Pendleton; being tossed up in the air; her bed; waking up early (WAY TOO EARLY for mom and dad); ear piercing squeals (when she's excited); sleeping on her stomach, or on her knees with her bum up in the air (very different from the back position she preferred her first 9 months of life); "talking" about everything (she can carry on quite the conversation); kids; dogs; pointing at things and saying, "what's that"; pictures of Jesus; chasing, and being chased by dad; snuggling against Spencer or I when shy or unsure of something (this is a new thing she does that we absolutely LOVE); BOOKS; being outside; and most importantly- being with her MOM and DAD!!!
Some of her dislikes include: forced cuddling; baths (this is a recent dislike that we can't figure out since it used to be one of her favorite things); missing a scheduled nap; not having her own space (this is something she's inherited from her mom); outfit changes during the day; diaper changes when she's occupied with something else; and NOT being with her mom and dad!!
Madilyn, we love you so much!!! Thanks for a fabulous first year!! You've made our job as parents the best job ever!! We look forward to all the many years of fun ahead!
Stay tuned for pictures from her BIG birthday bash!!!
