Happy 1st B-Day, Madden!

Happy First Birthday, Madden! You are mommy and daddy's whole world! Our hearts are over-pouring with love for you! We cannot believe that you are already one! A year ago today, we were blessed with you. You spent a month in the NICU, because you weren't eating very well. That seems hard to imagine now. You are an amazing eater! You are so healthy! We are already dressing you in 18 month clothes and size 4 diapers. You have started drinking whole milk and are trying more and more "real" food each day. So far, you seem to like mash potatoes best! You are cruising around all the furniture, crawling anywhere and everywhere you can, and balancing like a big boy! You love to slam doors and throw things! You are most fond of toy balls and blocks! You are sleeping about 12 hours a night and you have finally started taking a scheduled 1-2 hour nap every day. Your personality is so fun! Your are the sweetest little guy EVER! Mommy and Daddy can't get enough of your kisses, grins, and giggles! We are so thankful for you! We love you!

Yesterday, we took Madden to get his pictures made! He was a pro! There were no tears and he cooperated fantastically with the photographer. We were very pleased with the results.

Frame shopping.....HERE WE COME!

We had a great party for Madden at our house today! We appreciate all our family and friends who came to help celebrate. Madden has no idea how much he is loved! Thank you Grammy and Mimi for helping prepare this special day for our little Monkey! We are truly thankful!
