Madelyn had a great 1st birthday!  Her daycare teachers gave her the cutest stuffed animal, Violet.  We can program it with her name and favorite food/color/activity.  She walks around the house, hugging Violet.

Here are a few pictures from daycare.  We brought cupcakes and it looks like Madelyn, and her friend Jack, enjoyed them.

We had pizza for dinner on Madelyn's birthday.  She loved it!

The happy birthday girl

We spent the rest of the night getting ready for Madelyn's party.  We picked up some balloons......thinking every kid loves balloons, right?  Madelyn was so scared of them at first.  I guess I shouldn't blame her as one of the balloons was bigger than her.  Initially we thought she was crying because she was tired/hungry but we later realized she was frightened by the balloons.  By her birthday party she had warmed up to the balloons and now she loves them!  She walks around hitting the balloons.  It just reminds me that everything is new to her.
