I messed up and filmed the first few seconds of the video vertical instead of horizontal. Keep watching I change it so you can see better.
Maddie is really into dancing. Turn up your speakers. You will hear a familar tune. Her favorite song to dance to is the theme for Beverly Hills 90210. Please note the booty shaking that goes on!! When she waves her arm in the air she is trying to mimic snapping. Apparently, I am a snapper and she has learned to copy that. :)
I forgot to mention that Maddie is walking now. She started about a week after her 1st birthday. She is very fast. She loves to follow us as we walk, but she always follows too closely and when we stop she runs right into the backs of our legs, falls on the floor, laughs, and gets right back up. Very funny!!
Maddie loves pizza.
She loved listening to everyone sing Happy Birthday to her.
She wasn't really sure what to do with the cake.
She started with one hand..
added the second...
She ended up playing with it more than eating it.
The is the cake the rest of us ate.
Maddie had fun opening her presents.
She loves her new chair. It has a table with a lamp, a book, and some crayons on it. Everything sings, lights up and makes noise. She is in HEAVEN!!
Maddie enjoyed herself. She propped her feet up waiting for someone to bring her some food!!
She found Brandon's case for his radio at work and put it on.
This is on of the rings that goes to her ring stacker.
This is actually one of my necklaces that she found and put on.
The Cousins 
Atticus and Maddie had so much fun playing together. Atticus is 3 months older than Maddie. Why isn't Max in the photo?... Maddie ate him :)
We don't have stairs at our house, so Maddie had so much fun learning how to climb up stairs!! That is Atticus at the top of the picture waiting for her to hurry up and get up there with him.
Maddie and Brandon are sitting on the dock reading books. She fell off the dock right after this picture. Good thing the water under the dock was fake :)
We got to go to the children's museum with Max and Atticus. It was Maddie's first time to go to one. She loved it. Here we are in a big birds nest.
It worked out that we had an empty seat on our row so Maddie got to sit in her own seat. Which was really fun for her. She played with her toys, and stood up on the seat and waved at everyone behind us and tried to poke them through the seats. We thought it was funny, not sure what everyone else thought!!
Maddie liked to look out the window. 
Maddie loved watching the planes outside and seeing all the people walking around out on the runway. She would bang on the window trying to get their attention.
At the end of July we flew out to Colorado to visit Jeannie and Max so Maddie could play with her cousins, Max and Atticus.
Just us girls "Out on the Town"
I can't decide what is more interesting in this picture: Maddie in the back ground crawling like a bear or wondering what Brandon's goofy grin is about..
Bonding with Dad playing Playstation 2.
Getting ready to take Brandon out for a suprise lunch...
Brandon got a new hat... Maddie is facinated by it. She won't take it off his head. She just likes to look at it.
