Well, Madi's first Christmas was a BIG hit! She racked up on gifts. We know it wouldn't have been any other way. haha. We give a big thank you to Grandma and Grump-pa and Granny and Paw-Paw for all her wonderful gifts. Madi's Grandma and Grump-pa (Scott's parents) got her a bunch of wonderful V-tech toys and some cute, cute clothes. Granny and Paw-Paw got her a very soft bear rug, name puzzle, and some of mommy's old Disney movies. Santa Claus rbought Madi a play mat, clothes, and bowls and spoons for her to start solids with! It was so wonderful to have Madilyn with us this Christmas! It gives a whole new special meaning to Christmas.
She got so worn out with all the excitement that she fell asleep without a fuss while the grown-ups were still opening gifts. She was in the best mood that day and enjoyed ripping wrapping paper. hee hee. The bows were just a big a hit for her as well.
It's hard to believe that Madi is 5 months old now. She turned 5 months on Christmas Eve. She's growing so fast. She has now found her toes and absolutely loves pulling on her feet and play with them. She's also trying really hard to sit up. Sometimes I can prop her up sitting in the boppy before she arches back and falls. The bumbo seat is great, but she has learned how to arch her back and pull herself almost out of it! It's funny, but it's not! She doesn't know better not to, so when you tell her to keep her little bottom in the seat she just laughs and squeals at you! haha. We started her on rice cereal for her Christmas dinner while all her family was here. It was pretty funny. I think more of it was on her face than in her mouth, but she did pretty good with it. She tried really hard and she loves to help with the spoon already.
Our New Year's was a pretty normal day. It's funny how things change when you have a baby. Scott was working overnight on New Year's Eve, so it was just Madi, me, and the dogs. Madi was out at her usual bedtime, bout 8:30, so I tried really hard to at least stay awake, but it did not work! haha. I fell asleep about 20 minutes before midnight! Usually I am wide awake at midnight, but not these days! I love all the changes in my life, though, and look forward to wonderful year of watching Madilyn grow. I hope everyone has a wonderful year filled with excitement and happiness!!
Here are some pics of our fun-filled Christmas.

I am so glad ya'll had a great Christmas and that your families were able to come spend time with ya'll! Isn't Christmas so much more fun with a little one? You're right--it changes things completely and gives it a whole new special meaning. :o)
Your family is beautiful, and Madi is adorable (as usual!).
Sounds like a fun Christmas with all the family! Madi is getting big! Love her dress (the Christmas dress you got Lakyn looked so cute on her). Love all the pictures!
