Madalynn turns 1 !!!!!!!

My baby is already 1. Ahhhhhh!!!!! Where did the time go? It has been such a fun year with Madalynn in our family. Matthew adores her, and I think he will be the bigger brother that watches over her. He is the one that is always concerned what she is putting into her mouth, and he also has no fear getting it out of her mouth or out of her hands before it goes into her mouth. Sweet little boy. Allison loves helping me with her. She will go into Madalynn's room when Madalynn wakes up. She will talk with her or try to make her laugh until I get there to get her out. We are soooo glad to have her in our family!

Here are the pictures of the celebration at Grandma & Grandpa Mansfield's house. I love it when the kids get old enough to finally understand the unwrapping of the presents. It is so fun to watch there little facial expressions. She must have a lot of people who love her, because she came home with lots of presents!



Love her face in this one.



As in this one. How is it that little kids, even at this age, know when they are getting clothes? Her face says it all in this one. However, Kevin sure is excited!! (So was I, there is some cute, cute bling on this outfit).



Her is her cake. I thought it turned out pretty darn cute!! She wasn't too sure what to think of it. We helped her by putting her hand into the cake, still she was unsure. After watching her for a moment, and watching what she was doing with the icing that was already on her hands. I realized that she didn't like the mess. I went into the kitchen, grabbed her a spoon, handed it to her, and she had no problem after that. However my camera card was full, so I don't have any pictures of her eating the cake. My mom let me use her camera so at least I have pictures of her eating just none that I can put up on the blog.






Happy Birthday miss Madalynn!!!
