TuTu Cute!!

Today we took some pics of Maddie for her 1st birthday card at my mom's house in Franklin, TN... gotta love a tutu!! Surprisingly she didn't mind wearing it at all... and she even didn't try to grab her feathery hair accessory either(thanks, Ashlee). I tried to play around with photoshop on a couple of the 400+ photos we took today(I'm in camera withdraw-can you tell?). I still have a lot to learn but it was really fun playing with these simple photo effects. Still missing my camera, hopefully i will see it's beautiful flash by the end of next week... until then, I will keep having to bum off of the generosity of others - thanks guys!!

Sweet Annie Kisses

Here are a few pictures of some spring shots we did a couple of weeks ago... my camera is still in the Nikon shop. I'm having some serious withdrawl!! Maddie really wasn't in the mood for smiling - which doesn't happen too often. She would always beam though when "Sweet Annie" arrived on the scene. Annie was my childhood dog and still lives at my parents house... I was so in love with this dog, It's amazing how things change, or should I say priorities change once you have a baby.

Spring is in the air...

Here is Maddie's first experience with a flower... I didn't exactly know how she would react to holding her very own daffodil, either A.) she would try to eat it(naturally), B.) it would be destroyed in mere seconds or C.) she would try to share it(her new trick). Well, she thought about eating it while giving it a lick, then... picked off one petal... she definitely wasn't interested in sharing... to my surprise she just held and looked at it. Seriously?? This is not how my child acts... she was being so careful and acting like such a little lady, I almost expected to see her pinky point out. What a nice change of pace... so glad to see that she can be calm and gentle!!
