A "Golden" 1st Birthday!

Maddex is ONE!

I cannot believe how fast this last year has gone by. It seems like just yesterday I held him in my arms for the very first time. I had a little birthday party for him on July 1st. I was glad we were able to celebrate on his actual birthday. He had such a great time! As you can tell he really enjoyed his Mickey Mouse smash cake! It was an almost perfect day....Johnny wasn't able to be here unfortunately. It is ONE of the many sacrifices we have to make with being a military family. I felt awful for Johnny missing his big day, but luckily we were able to skype during the cake smashing :)

Maddex has really grown is the past few months. He has started repeating single words VERY clearly. Some of the words he says are:

Daddy

Mommy

Baby

Puppy

Nana

Papa

Hi

Bye Bye

Yes

More

All Done

Repeats almost all ABC's

I think he is going to be an early talker!

I sure do love this little man and I couldn't imagine our life without him.

Happy 1st Birthday Maddex!

Enjoying his cake!

Maddex's favorite cartoon character....he dances EVERY time he hears the "Hot Dog Dance"!
