Happy Birthday!

This is several days late, as I didn't know my user name to log on here and the laptop (my login is saved on here) wasn't up and functioning. :) Madison had an awesome birthday! Her party was Saturday, and Friday night while I was making cupcakes and other stuff in the kitchen, she decided to become a full fledged walker. She still falls a lot, but she is now doing more walking than she is crawling. She just falls every so often and just gets back up and starts again. It was very hot and humid for her outside party on Saturday. It rained all morning, so the grass was too wet to spend any time outside. We mostly stayed in the sunroom, which is small, but we managed. Maddie loved her cupcake, and had lots of fun opening the presents. Thanks to everyone who came! Sunday we went down to Madison, IN and had a party at Mr Gatti's. That was fun, as she knew this time that she liked cupcakes and didn't hesitate to shove it all into her mouth! We got to see Grandpa Thornton and Gr-Grandma Pauline for the first time and she loved them, of course. She super-duper loves the Care Bear car that she got from Grandpa. I sing that song about the Care Bears coming to your town all day long, lol. That is to say when I am not singing the Wiggles songs from the piano Tommy got for her. On her actual birthday we went to Applebee's for dinner, but she had no interest in the food we tried to give her until they brought out her birthday sundae and balloons. She loved the ice cream! There were 2 other babies sitting at tables right next to us, and she wouldn't stop staring at them long enough to have a bite of anything decent. :) Other than that we just spent the whole day playing, relaxing, and just plain having fun.
