a toddler...almost?

madison is WALKING!!!! she took her first steps about two weeks ago, at just 10 1/2 months (we are very proud). at first she would only walk if we coaxed her with food while she had some in both hands as well! and she was wearing the cutest little denim dress with red satin trim but it kept getting in her way to we tied it up in the back with a hair band. we posted this video on youtube for our out-of-town family and now that i am trying to be more blog savvy i will post it on here for your enjoyment (ignore the political discussion in the background).



now she loves walking! she just teeters around the house from one object to another. i can't believe how fast she has grown up. she turns one year old this month and it has flown by. i am so grateful for her sweet little personality and her smile just lights up everyone around her. it's so much fun to be a mom!!!
