Bathing Beauty

Ahhhh...Relaxing after a hot bath...
This adorable robe and slippers are a Valentine gift from sweet "Auntie" Melinda!

Daddy-Daughter Time

First they read a special story (I wonder if Madelyn remembers this one from when Daddy read it to her in Mama's belly...)





Then, they both conked out during tummy time!

What a day!

Super Baby!

Madelyn loves to sleep swaddled up tight with her arms by her side.



Then when we wake her up and unwrap her...




Her arms spring out one at a time...BOING!






SUPER BABY!

Cuddling with Grandma

We went to visit while Gary's mom is mostly home-bound following surgery on her foot. Bonnie and Dale even let us sneak out for a quick dinner date while Madelyn napped in her Grammy's arms. They were both in bliss!

Dancin'Queen!

Madelyn's first Daddy-Daughter Dance at the Sweetheart Ball

Smile!

She's starting to smile quite a bit--usually right after she's fed and happy watching mommy make funny faces.

Tummy Time

Strong girl, holding up that big noggin'!

Best Cousins!

Madelyn hugs her cousin Jack Fairhurst, exactly 6 weeks older than her (I know, she looks like she could beat him up, huh--hee hee!) They will probably be great playmates and friends!

Welcoming Ceremony

February 3, 2007
We enjoyed sharing such a special event with so many close friends and family. Thank you for being there to celebrate the beginning of Madelyn's journey, and if you were not able to make it, you were in our hearts.

Grandpa Bryce gave a beautiful blessing to our little angel.
