2008 in Pictures

Amanda inspired me. Her year in pictures made me want to do the same. She was right, choosing just one per month was difficult yet looking at them was really fun.  Thank you Amanda!

Vote for your favorite if you like!

Some things I noticed as I went through them:
  • I don't take enough full body photos, I apparently am fascinated with her face.
  • Here hair HAS grown!
  • She smiles like her Daddy, either so big her eyes squint or with her mouth wide open. I love the resemblance.
  • I was going to post photos of her and I together each month instead of her but as I was searching for them, I realized that as her fat cheeks thinned out, mine got bigger along with the rest of me, so I will pass!

Madison and Santa at Prison

Madison, Rick and I had breakfast with Santa in Prison, jammy jamms and all! He was just visiting USP Atwater!  (Rick is a correctional officer)  Here is a short video. You can see at the very end she does sign "thank you" to him, not sure if it is for the gift of thanking him for letting her go back to Daddy!
Some more Santa photos:

Officially a toddler


Madison has made it to official "toddler" state. She got her first shiner!
