bananas and giggles

It's so much fun watching Madison do something for the 1st time... eating bananas on her own, she's such a big girl!  I also love watching her giggle with her daddy... he loves her soooo much!

Lazy morning

 

I love mommy's kisses

cuddling with daddy

 

Weekend mornings are the best, we wake up (early of course...) but we don't go anywhere.  We bring Madison into bed with us and we cuddle, play, kiss, watch the Wiggles and laugh!  These are the moments that I treasure and I feel so lucky to be Madison's mom and Deven's wife :)

my birthday

 opening my gifts

For my birthday my two favorite people took me to one of my favorite places - Old Spaghetti Factory.  My family makes me feel so special :)

Earrings

Madison got her ears pierced and she did great! Deven was a little hesitant about getting it done, since he hates to see her cry, but we decided that we'd rather get them pierced earlier than later; she barely knows what her ears are, so she definitely wouldn't know what earrings are. She was so good through the whole thing! prepping her ears

BACK AT HOME

About 5 min after the tears stopped she was back to being our happy little girl. Her earrings look sooooooo cute on her and I'm so glad we got them pierced. I can't believe how fast our little girl is growing up!

Lucky

I don't know how we got so lucky... we have the most amazing daughter! She loves to smile and laugh and is so beautiful!! Every night after dinner we prop her up (since she's still just learning to sit up on her own) and we just watch her play/interact with her toys. She is so smart (yes, I know all parents must say that), but I really think it's true. She'll be studying her toy then look up and see us - then we get that adorable smile of hers. Lucky doesn't even begin to describe how we feel to have her in our lives.

Valentine's Day

Madison looked like a little princess in her beautiful red dress. Deven came home and fixed a wonderful dinner... we are such lucky girls!

I love my daddy!

Dancing in the village

The first week in February is usually pretty rainy, but not today... it was beautiful, sunny and warm! We went down to Seaport Village and Madison had so much fun, she is definitely a people watcher like her mom and dad. We sat on the seawall and she watched the water, then the people, then the water, then the people, haha, her little head didn't know which way to look. Later we had dinner in the village, listened to some music and watched Madison dance with her daddy!
Such a wonderful day!

Cami's 21st!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!
Well my baby sister turned 21 today... I feel soooo old! haha
