December (recap)

We started off the month of December with a trip to the pediatrician for Madelyn's one month well-baby visit. She was 21.5 inches long (50th percentile) and weighed 9 pounds 7 ounces (50th percentile.) We were amazed at how much she had grown in just one month!

We caught a first glimpse of Madelyn's smile and pretty soon we were seeing it more and more!



All bundled up to make our first (quick) trip to the mall for a last minute gift.


Our first official family portrait! Fun Christmas gift to our families!




We usually put out a lot of decorations around the house...so not the case this year! Our poor tree got some red and gold balls and that's it- no ornaments. Oh well! But we did get new stockings. :)




We couldn't wait to get to Birmingham for Christmas. Madelyn had so many family members to meet! Here are some...

Granddad and Grandmom (her "greats")


Aunt Carolyn ("great" even though she wouldn't admit it!)



Maw Maw Stanford (another "great")



Maw Maw Burrell ("great")



Her Christmas dress came with a headband. We don't wear headbands, but had to model it!



Aunt Celeste (another "great")



Paw Paw Burrell ("great")



Aunt Kathy and Cousin Stacy



Mommy and Madelyn



We put the girls in matching dresses (so cute!)

Autumn Madelyn



4 generations of daughters!



Daddy and Madelyn



Madelyn had a great time with Nana and Aunt B



Getting some love from Aunt B (Bethany)



Steven and his grandparents




After we got home from our trip we broke out the baby tub! She looked like such a big girl in there!












And before we knew it....2008 was over and it was on to a new year!

Enjoyed the pics! The family picture you had done turned out great! You crack me up with "we don't wear headbands..." LOL! :)

She's getting soooo big! I'd love to see her again soon.
