One Year Pictures

Since we haven't ever had Maddy's pictures done we thought what better time than for her one year birthday (which is this Sunday btw--WOW!) We took her to a portrait studio near the mall and had both Christmas and regular pictures made. She was quite the trooper--they made us wait forever and if you have ever been around an almost one year old--it is really hard to keep them occupied & happy! She was great though--she even smiled for us several times! The picture with the duck below is her duck that sings the chicken dance--we used that to get her to laugh but then she got mad and had to have it for herself--which is how it ended up in one of the pictures. She is getting so big! She is standing and walking on her own with her little walker--she'll be walking in no time at all! She ate turkey, stuffing, corn casserole, mashed potatoes & cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving (not big portions mind you, just a "taste") Her favorite was the corn casserole I'd have to say. We took her to Walmart yesterday to go grocery shopping and she was in "awe" at all the Christmas decorations--she just had her mouth open and looked around at all the lights & characters. Oh to be a year old again and have everything be new! I can't believe her birthday is this Sunday--we are having a small get together--I'll be sure and post pics when we get them done that day. Wish everyone who lives far away could be here for this day! Well, here are Maddy's pics...enjoy!
