A Month of Firsts.....

It seems hard to believe that Madison has been home for over a month now. She is making wonderful progress and her comfort level seems to grow stronger each day. Madison is now eating some different foods, but still does not chew very well. She has now found a favorite food...bananas.

Madison is very close to taking her first steps. She still holds on, but is pulling herself up on everything can get her hands on.

On June 11, on her 18th month birthday, we celebrated her homecoming and her first birthday. Everyone needs a first birthday party. She had a wonderful time. She met lots of family and made many new friends.


Madison looks as though she may be interested in the cake. However, when her fingers hit the cake she had a complete meltdown. But, thats OK....Daddy did a good job getting the chocolate icing out of her hair..and her nose...and her ears.

Madison also had her first portraits last week. She did OK but was unsure about smiling for the lady taking the photos.
