Madelynn went on her first plane ride (did pretty well, really!) to Southern California
where we went to the San Diego Zoo with Grandpa and Grandma
and enjoyed the beach!!!
In late August Madelynn enjoyed her first camping trip!
Of course, the big one-year party was lots of fun! (Although she was right at the beginning of being pretty sick ......)
Mmmm ... cake!
A little photo shoot....Have I ever mentioned that she LOVES monkeys?!
And, of course, the 12-month picture with her bear.
Fun with a little friend ...
Of course in September we did the Puyallup Fair. Grandma even joined us!
And, a couple weeks ago we enjoyed the Pumpkin Patch.
Madelynn has mastered so many skills ... going down the stairs is one of them!
Our baby is definitely growing up. We've enjoyed each moment so much! Right now we're amazed by how much she understands and can say. A few favorite words ... Daddy, Mama (finally!!), OUTSIDE!, up, dowww (down), mo (more), bootow (moo cow), cracker, shoe, ampa (Grandpa), eyes, touch, ba (ball), aw done (all done), Shh (Shumi, my parents' dog), chh (cheese .. or sometimes Charity!), bu (butterfly or belly button), poon (spoon), Bible, ark (as in Noah and the ark), ca (car), shushine (sunshine), and a fun recent one .... i ceam cone (ice cream cone!).
And, in April she's going to be a big sister! Here I am 16 weeks pregnant! :) Finally starting to feel a little better!

She loves going outside, enjoys reading a book, will back her way up onto your lap with a book if you sit on the floor, dances to music, gets very frustrated when she can't do something, is still very curious and serious when something is new, loves to lay on the rugs in front of the door, likes to pull out all her big stuffed animals and then put them all back, closes drawers when they're open and shuts doors, has 9 teeth, loves fruit, signs please when we ask her to say please, has started to enjoy the nursery, and so much more!
Such a big girl!
Such a big girl!

Congratulations!! :-)
I can hardly believe that Madelynn is already a year old... the time certainly goes by quickly. Of course, once baby is born she'll seem to you like she's ready for college (well, maybe not QUITE that old)- all the sudden your first baby looks so much older, bigger and advanced!! ;-)
Such wonderful, wonderful times and sweet memories.
I'm glad you're feeling a bit better, too.
SOOOO excited for you guys! I hope this pregnancy goes smoothly too!
Thanks for the updates! I love seeing your pictures. :) You look FABULOUS, btw! :) Can't wait to meet this new little life!
Yea!!!! We are SO happy for you guys! Can't wait to see this new little love...
