Happy New Year!

Well New Years Eve was completely different than any other year...we spent a quiet night at home with our little girl - who was dressed to impress (don't you just love her sparkly shoes!) She even made it up to midnight... well midnight east coast time - haha.

Madison had so much fun playing and we even recorded her saying Happy New Year (in baby talk of course!) :-D

2010 was such a life changing and AMAZING year. On Jan 5th we found out I was pregnant... gosh, in some ways it feels like yesterday and in other ways, it feel like ages and ages ago. So much has happened this year; being pregnant and having Madison, moving and Deven even got a new job. Sometimes I can't believe that in a year Madison went from being the size of a peanut to our 15lb little munchkin! (remember her very 1st pic?) - doesn't that seem like ages ago?!? So much has happened even since she's been born, she's getting so big. She can smile and play with toys and sit up (with some help) and she loves to spend time with her mommy and daddy.

It's hard to grasp the fact that last year I was at a bar drinking champagne with Deven wondering when (and if ) I'd ever get pregnant. Our 2009 had been such a trying and traumatic year, that we just wanted it over so we could move on to 2010... I could never have imagined how great 2010 would be! :-D

I know that this next year will be so much fun; watching Madison learn to laugh, crawl, talk, walk, etc. I'm so happy to welcome 2011 and all the wonderful memories I'll get to create, but I have to admit, I'm a little sad to see 2010 go... this past year will forever and always hold a special place in my heart, since it's the year I became a mom <3
