Maddie is 1!!

Maddie turned 1 last week! I cannot believe how fast the past year has gone. It has been a quite year to say the least. A year ago this time, I wasn't sure if Maddie would make it to her first birthday. But here she is, unbelievably happy and healthy. We are so lucky.

Enough of the sappiness. Maddie finally began to "crawl" a week before her first birthday. I use the term crawl loosely because it is not your average crawl. But she is definitely on the move. She now has 5 teeth and is starting to feed herself more. She is such a joy to be around. She is constantly exploring and interested in new things.

For her first birthday party, we had some friends and family over to our Aunt and Uncle's house. It was so fun to celebrate her. Our little munchkin got a virus the day before her actual birthday, so not many pictures from that day. But please enjoy the pics!

It's my birthday party!

Clapping for herself, very modest

What a difference a year makes!

It's been a while.

I would have to say we are pretty settled here in San Francisco. I can't believe it has already been three months. And in only three short weeks, our little munchkin will be 1 year old! Time really flies by. Maddie is becoming quite the talker lately. She loves to chat and make a buzzing sound with her mouth. She has three teeth now and is becoming a bit more mobile. No crawling yet, but we are working hard on getting her to stand. She is a pro at pushing up from her tummy to a sitting position. She is still her happy friendly self and I think she is really enjoying life in the big city. Here are some pictures from the past couple months, including her first Easter in Palm Springs!
