Faces of Madison

Our child is expressive.  You don't always need to guess how she is feeling.  All you need to do is look at her face...

I just love the progression.  Good thing for puppies!

Key West Trip - January 2013

We were able to take a week long vacation over the New Year to Key West, FL.  My parents and Todd's mom were able to join us there.  We flew down and Madison surprised me immensely by being a wonderful flyer.  (Previously this had not been the case).
The weather was great and so was the company.  Madison enjoyed all of the grandparent time, especially all the books that were read to her and walks that she took.  The weather was perfect so we went to the pool several days.  Madison loves the pool!  All summer she had a kiddie pool where she could stand on her own.  Unfortunately, there wasn't one here so we had to hold her or she played on the stairs. If you know Madison, she likes to do everything herself so she didn't understand why she couldn't swim on her own.  She still had a good time enjoying the water. 
We ate a many wonderful restaurants and explored the island.  We went to the beach for part of one day.  Madison did not like sand this past summer and stayed true to form.  However, we were able to convince her is wasn't the end of the world if she walked in it this time.
Below are few pictures from our trip.  I'll add more when my dad sends me some of his. 

She looks so grown up here!
