Bring on the Photos! It's a Madi-colage!

On Madi's birthday, I wrote about how sad I was that my computer broke, that I couldn't get any photos of my beautiful princess for my blog. Well, my new laptop is chock full of Madi-fabulous goodness. Be warned, I had a hard time choosing photos for this little montage. So I put a bunch in. But I figured, hey, this is my blog, and my kiddo, and I can put in as many photos as I want! So, grab some coffee, buckle in, and away we go!



Here we are, just days before Madi's arrival. Katrina was absolutely certain she was getting a baby sister. We weren't sure. We should have listened to the big sis.






We made sure that Katrina was the first person to hold Madi, after Mom and Dad, of course. It was love at first sight.






And here's our beautiful baby rockin' the hospital clothes.






We couldn't get her to sleep much those first few weeks, but I did figure out she liked to nap in the laundry basket. We've learned not to question her weird sleeping habits. Considering the child now sleeps like a washing machine (around and around and around...).






This was from her first Thanksgiving with the great-grandparents in Phoenix, and one of her first really big smiles. That smile still melts my heart. Although there are a few more teeth in the picture now.





From one of our many adventures to the Rec Center when she was a baby.






Her love of baseball (and baseball hats) started early...





... as did her special relationship with her Uncle Adam.






This was, by far, her most famous face as a baby. It was always accompanied by many "ooh, ooh, ooh" noises.






Here she is with her favorite partner in crime. I think one of her first phrases was, "No Maj".





Miss Katie is, by far, her favorite babysitter. Always has been. Always will be. She will do anything for that young lady.






Enjoying a cruise around the property with her sister. It amazes me to see how much they both have changed.






They're not Daddy's girls at all, are they?






And now, modeling her new pj-wearing technique. Interesting, I know. But, really, everything is with this little girl.

My precious girl is definitely one in a million!
