1st Birthday Party

Today we celebrated Maddy's 1st birthday with family and friends. Gold Rush chicken, cake and gifts. Maddy enjoyed herself and was in bed by 6:50 without a peep, which is quite early for her. She loved her piece of birthday cake. I made a white cake with pink vanilla frosting. I gave Maddy her piece on her tray, and she just dug right in. It was all over her face, clothes and hair. But it was fun to watch.

I can't believe that she is already one year old. And what a year it's been. We are so blessed to have her.

Whining

Maddy spent a good part of the weekend whining. I think her teeth might be bothering her. I don't know what else it could be. She is completely content when she's eating. She's been a bottomless pit lately.

On Saturday we went to Mayfair to buy Maddy her first pair of good shoes from Strite Rite. They're cruisers since she's not quite walking yet. $40 but well worth it for her ankles and feet. They said we'd be back in 2 to 4 months for her next pair.

Afterwards, we went to Boston Market for dinner. It's been a while since we've eaten there. Maddy enjoyed the mashed potatoes, chicken and green beans. She's such a good girl when we're out and about.
