Madilyn turned One year old on Tuesday, 10/13. On Sunday, we had a great birthday party for her with lots of family. Grammi and Grandpa Johnson came down from Rochester, Omi and Grandpa, Uncle Chris, Aunt Darlene, and Jonas came down from Virginia. We were SO happy that so many family members were able to make the big occasion. Madi got some wonderful gifts, but more importantly had a blast spending time with everyone. She stuffed her face full of cake, and just loved it!
Looking back on Madi's first year of life, there were many challenging times, but many more wonderful times. We watched her grow from a helpless little baby into a sweet, affectionate, and smart little girl. I'm a mix of emotions. I feel happy and fortunate to have a perfect little daughter that has enriched our lives. I'm sad because the last year has gone so incredibly fast, and I would love to re-live some of those precious moments. I have to say though, I can't wait to celebrate and enjoy the many milestones that lie ahead.
