Madeline's First Birthday

Madeline's first birthday was July 8, 2003. Needless to say, she enjoyed the cake!

Examining her first gift with Dad.
"Dad, I don't want to open that. I want to play."
Here we go!
Almost got it!
"Oh my gosh what is this?" (It's a mini "bumble ball" and Madeline finds it quite terrifying.)
"OK, we're done with that one. What's next?"
"This one looks like a book!"
I see a Birthday Girl looking at me!
Looks like Pa's got Madeline pegged.
"Hey! What's in there?"
"Mom's turn!"
"My head is too small for this thing!"
Playing in the family room with the gifts from Mom and Dad.
This ribbon matches my dress!
"What is this stuff?"
I didn't do it. I promise!
