And then she turned ONE!

It happened, she finally turned ONE! This day was big for her, so we made her party as special and as PINK as we could. We were lucky enough to have so many helpful hands at her party. Maddie had a blast. She loved seeing all the family. She looked absolutely adorable in her outfit. I love the way it turned out. She got so many wonderful gifts, I don't think I'll need to shop for months! Max thinks he hit the jackpot with the toys too. 

 I really wanted to make Maddie's cake and I did. She had a pink strawberry cupcake cake and it was so good. Thankfully her Godmother (and mine too!) is like Martha Stewart and helped to make the cake look so cute. Maritza, Jessica and my mom helped too. We also made pink cupcakes. :)

My parents got her a little car of her own. Her and Max are already having issues with sharing this one.

 

This girl loves to walk!

We had Maddies appointment this morning. She is doing great. She weighs 22 pounds and is 30 inches long. She is in the 90% for height and 75% for her weight. She is now drinking whole milk and takes about one or two bottles a day. She is still wearing size 4 diapers and 12 -18 month clothing. One big piece of news is that she is walking. She started walking about one week before her actual birthday. She is getting stronger and better at balancing herself better everyday. And she has 2 teeth, and 2 on the way. Talk about change!! I keep thinking about the day she was born. I was so excited but scared at the same time. But now I see that I really had nothing to fear because she has brought nothing but joy, happiness and lots of LOVE to our family. Love you Madeline Kristine!
