Geez these months are FLYYYYING by...

I am now the mother of a ONE year old!!! Crazy right?!?! I cannot believe that just a little over a year ago i was anxiously awaiting the arrival of our little girl!! I didn't know what to expect but i couldn't wait to get started! :) Well flash forward a year... i am so in love with my lil girl! She has taught me so much about myself and life! I am beyond blessed to be able to be a stay at home mom and witness all of her milestones and see her personality develop. Miss Madison is quite the ball of ENERGY! She is always on the go! Ever since she was a newborn she couldn't wait to get going.. she started rolling early, crawling early, and then walking early! Go GO Gooooo! She loves to play with other kids and is so good at sharing! I'm hoping to get involved in a mom's group asap because i know she needs that interaction.

In August we went camping with Papa Jim (San Clemente, Ca):

For Madison's 1st birthday we stayed right here in Orange County. The day before her dad and i took her to the Long Beach Aquarium and lunch. She had a blast! Then later that night we sang to her and did cake. Her dad worked on her actual birthday so we did it a day early. For her actual birthday we just went to the park and stayed home. Her Auntie Lizzie came over in the evening with balloons and cake and we sang to her(again)! We recently did her big birthday party in Ridgecrest. Dad couldn't get work off so we had her party 10 days after her actual party! I will make a new post about her party after i get the pictures from it!!

I am sad to say "goodbye" to my baby, but im looking forward to watching my toddler grow! She is quite the comedian and has me cracking up daily!! She is my best friend and i hope she knows how much i love her!! <3

Here are a few pictures from the beach(11 months old):
