1 month old, May 16th, 2009

In Hyden family tradition, we took a one month old picture in the "dunce" birthday hat. Maddison was a good sport and she was as cute as could be.

Here I have made a collage of all three cousins with their one month old pictures, Matthew (2004), Libby (2006), and Maddison (2009).

My first Mother's Day, May 10th, 2009

My first mother's day was made really special by my sweet little girl and my sweet husband who even though we didn't take Maddison to church made sure to take care of us both. We went to Red Lobster and then took some photographs of us all.

I felt like a very special mom!

Cousins come to visit! May 7th

Clint, Sara, and Libby and Matthew came for a visit on May 7th, and this time Maddison was old enough for everyone to get to hold her. Her cousins are anxious for her to get old enough to play with them.

Nana was glad to get a picture of all three of her precious grandkids together. I'm sure there will be many more to come in the future.

1st family picture - May 4th

We took our first family picture ourselves on May 4th, in bed with Maddison. You can tell she was wide awake and aware. Actually after she woke up, she played with both Mommy and Daddy!

Milk Drunk Baby! May 7th, Three weeks old!

Michael filmed Maddison and I one morning after she had eaten and was ready to head to bed.

I am diligently trying to catch up and here are some great pictures of Maddison after she's eaten and of course pictures of Maddison and Mommy.

I have to say, I love my Maddison, she is my little pooh bear, or sweatpea!

On the road again

We visited Rose and Tim on May 5th, and these pictures prove Maddison will sleep just about anywhere as long as she has her noise maker. This proves that she is her mommy's daughter! Like mother, like daughter, never travel without noise maker :)
