Maddie sitting by her first Christmas Tree!!

This year was Maddies First Christmas. She was not real interested in the presents but she sure loved chewing on the paper. We had more than one Christmas due to the weather. We finally got to have our white Christmas it has been a while since we have had one of those. It was fun but I am glad that it is gone. It was fun having a four day Christmas. Spending time with family is one thing we never get sick of doing. We are all very tired and are getting rested to bring in the New Year. Our little maddie is still learning to crawl almost has it but not there yet. I can not believe that she is only 2months away from being a year old.... Time sure does go by fast when you have a child. Now that we have maddie is seems like everything is going by so fast. Well I hope everyone has a good New Years and 2009 brings good memories to everyone....

Thanksgiving 2008

The O'Grady Family

She loves the camera!

Grandma Becky!

If someone were to ask me what I am Thankful for I would have to say Family. We are so blessed to have such a close famliy. We all enjoy getting together and listening to eachother stories or just enjoy getting together. There are so many of us that it keeps us busy. We are all enjoying watching maddie grow up to be a wonderful little girl. Mike and I are having so much fun being parents. We could not ask for better Grandmas and Grandpas either. Maddie is finding out how to use her voice box these days. We have been telling everyone about how loud she is. Then when anyone comes over or we go anywhere she does not make a sound. We are feeling like no one believes us. Maddie is trying very hard to try and sit up. If you put her in the sitting position then she can do it but she has no idea how to go from her stomache to her rear. She will figure it out soon enough. Today was a big day for us it was our first day of Family Photos. Things went real well. I am hoping that they turn out well enough to make Christmas Cards for everyone. Well here are some more photos of family and maddie. Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Growing up so Fast!!!!

Maddie is growing up so Fast. It is so much fun to watch her grow and learn new things everyday. It seems like I am always calling Mike with something new she has done. Thank god for cell phones because I am always sending him pictures of her. She is has been trying to get her first tooth or teeth, were not sure yet which one. It has made her one unhappy little girl. People always warned us that it is not a fun stage. I thought oh it won't happen to us because she has been such an easy baby. Well she has been testing us just like Mike and I tested our moms. Her new thing now is she can get up on her hands and knees. She will rock back and forth and gets kind of upset cause she can't go anywhere. When she can Mike and I are going to be pretty busy. If she is going to be anything like Mike and I were, well we are in for it. I have heard stories how Mike was and I know how I was. That is the joys of parenthood and I wouldn't trade it or her for anything. Maddie and I have been busy taking some pictures. She now knows what is going on when I get my camera out. She looks at me like not again mom. So here are few photos of our Little Miss Maddie.
