For the first few months we just tried to stay afloat in the sea of newborn appointments, sleepless nights, and round-the-clock nursing. Then she caught her first cold...then her second cold, and then came the shunt. During all of this we tried to keep her in as much as possible and in the process the Dedication completely fell through the cracks. Then one day I woke up and realized she will be 9 months old in a few days, and if I don't get on the ball with this, it will no longer be a baby dedication...because Madison will be a toddler. So this weekend my "baby" was dedicated at our church.
It was also my Mother's birthday, and I promised her I'd make a cake like nothing she's ever gotten before...
She was a good sport about it. :)
In other news....Spring has finally decided to grace us with it's return, and we've been enjoying our backyard every chance we get. Watering plants just starting to bud again, blowing bubbles on the patio, sidewalk chalk on the driveway, and an afternoon with a little buddy...
And with the return of spring comes more opportunities to show off those yummy rolls...
Yay for sleeveless dresses!
And we are entering our busy season for birthday parties...it doesn't slow down until November. Preston's party was last weekend and thanks to Mrs. Anne for taking some great pics of Maddie at the party...makes me want a new camera.
...and many thanks to everyone for all the kind words and messages regarding my last post. That anniversary was just one of many milestone we will meet and it just means that sweeter, happier days are ahead. Have a great week everyone!
love the pictures! what a sweet family.
