Grandad's Birthday dinner

Making Faces

I had taken Madilyn to the Dr. last week because she was sick #1 & #2 6 month check up, yay shots! Anyway, we were waiting for the Dr. & she found herself in the mirror & started making faces! I couldn't resist...she is still very healthy 16 lbs 8 oz & 26 1/2 in long

Madilyn's 1st touch of a puppy...no not hers! She didn't know what to think, neither did he!

1st Christmas

I went to Wal-Mart & printed off all of these pics plus 138 others, then started deleting before I blogged, so if you aren't here, that's why...sorry! Also, one of these days I will figure out how to label each photo on this computer as I have done in the past, until then if you don't know who someone is & want to know...email me! Hope everyone had a great Christmas & a Happy New Year...I will start blogging again regularly I promise!

Monkeying around...meeting Joe the 1st time (he got her the cutest "My first Yankees shirt" for Chritmas...and OOPS I fell down!

"I have my spoon now I am ready to eat"

"Let's see if I can get this whole thing in my mouth"

Madilyn & Great Grandma GG

Madi says "watch your nose Grandma"

Sitting pretty, Fredrik didn't learn the 1st time he put her up there & she spit up in his hair!

"Watch out mom, it won't be long & I will be running all over the place"

Happy Thanksgiving

I thought I would share a couple of random photos, I hope to have more tomorrow from our Thanksgiving today & definately Monday from our weekend! Scott & Leslee's wedding is Saturday...YAY!

For my friends & family that are reading this I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. This is the best yet & I don't know where I would even begin if I had to give a speech on what I am thankful for...well I take that back, I would begin with Madi. She is absolutely the light of my life & don't know what I have done without her. I look forward to many more wonderful turkey dinners with my girl & can't wait til next year when she can actually eat the food! I am also very thankful for my family. They have helped me so much not only through my pregnancy, but with Madilyn. Typically when you have a baby you have lots of family & friends around that want to help, but I have had unending support & assistance. I cannot thank everyone enough for all they have done for me & you all know who you are & how special you are to me & Madi. I apologize for not making a personal "shout out".

I also want to say congrats to the Graf family http://billyandmonica.blogspot.com/ & the birth of their beautiful quads Pius, Forrest, Danna & Laine. I wish your family a special Thanksgiving & safe travel to Phoenix.

I am overwhelmed with emotion thinking how blessed I am for my wonderful family, not just the family I was born to, but my chosen family also I cannot be appreciative enough. So, I will leave you all with these pics & hope you have a wonderful yet filling day!

Just waking up...looks grumpy like mommy when she 1st wakes up!

Madilyn is starting to suck her thumb & you can't see it much in this picture, but she has her rattle in her hand while sucking her thumb!
