I can't believe it, my baby is one!! How did that happen so fast? It has been a wonderful year. On Tuesday night (the day before her bday), I was thinking back to myself a year ago. I had no idea what I was in store for. I was about to feel such an indescribable amount love for the little baby inside of me. I was also about to experience the challenges and worries that go along with being a parent. I remember feeling euphoric for days after I had her -- then, of course, sleep deprivation set-in! :)
Here's a little bit about our big 1 year old:
-Madeline is an very active little girl. She is always on the move! She actually has been from day one. Even as a newborn, Madeline was extremely squirmy!
-Loves dancing! She has these little watches that play music and they are her favorite toy. She presses the button and starts to dance. She also likes it when we dance too :)
-First word was Dada. She now says Momma, Duck, Noooo (and shakes her head), and lots of "baby talk"
-Loves her little singing dog named Violet. Violet and some other stuffed animals sleep with her every night.
-Walks all over the place and soon to be running, I think!
-Recently learned how to give a hug and kiss (Mommy and Daddy ask for a lot of those)
-Pretty good sleeper -- goes to bed easily at 7:30PM and wakes up around 6AM
-Enjoys bananas, yogurt, and apple sauce (she doesn't seem to be too picky)
-Very loved by her parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and more!
We celebrated Madeline's 1st birthday and Parker's 1st birthday this past Sunday with a Hoedown! Here are some pictures...
For lunch, we did a chili bar. We did three types of chili, hotdogs, corn bread, baked potatoes, and a bunch of other yummy stuff. For dessert, we my mom made these adorable sunflower cupcakes!
We had all kinds of western decor. My mom also made this table runner.
The kids panned for gold!
Photo opp!

We found out that Madeline does not like the feeling of frosting all over her hands. Parker enjoyed it though! :)
Tomorrow, Parker turns one too!! He's celebrating in Atlanta. Happy Birthday, buddy!!
