Maddie has been walking since Mother's day. What a present to get my baby's first steps. Now she is none stop. She runs through the house chasing the dogs who don't appericate that she is now moblie.
In June we had her first birthday. A group of friends and family who were here to celebrate our Maddie. She enjoyed her ture birthday Thursday June 11th I think more then the birthday party. She got a cupcake and gram Curtis spoiled her rotten with a "flinstone car". We had her big party that Saturday June 13. She wasn't sure of what to think of all the people and ended up falling asleep in the middle of the party. It doesn't seem possible that a year has come and gone so quickly. It is true that time flies when you have a little one in the house.
Of course with all good times there comes sad times. My grandmother fell ill a month before Maddie's birthday. She fell, broke her hip, and then had a bad stroke. Maddie got to spend one more month with her great grandmother. On one the happiest days of my life came a sad tragedy my grandmother passed away on June 11th, 2009. I had hoped that she would last through the night so it wouldn't be on Maddie's birthday as I didn't want her special day related to her great-grandmother's passing. I know Maddie will never remember her but at least she got to meet her.
So this week we are on vacation and a goal of mine is to update this blog every day! We shall see if it happens.
