Then and Now

This winter, Shelly made a family calender for 2007. I call it a family calender, but let's face it, it's 12 pictures of Madison with the random parent in about three of the pictures. Anyway, as I look at how much she has changed in a year, I thought I would share with you each month pictures from the previous year. So here are some from March 2006:


Here is Madison getting a bath from my buddy Ryan, who flew all the way from Jackson Hole, WY to visit. Ryan, Madison and I are coming to visit this summer, so you can give her her first fly fishing lessons.


Madison feeding Belle the food she didn't like. I guess we fixed that problem.

Madison's first swim lesson. A year later, she is still taking them every Saturday, but she has progressed to blowing bubbles, and even swimming underwater (that is to say, she will hold her breath as we pass her under water), though she still won't go on her back.

Learning to eat with silverware. She is a little better at it now -at least we don't have to strip her down before feeding her.


Madison starting to show her personality. This has only progressed, as she has taken after being stubborn like her mother.

Finally, look at the previous post and notice how much hair she has compared to a year ago. I secretly use to be very worried that my daughter risked looking like Sinead O'Conner if she didn't grow some hair.

(It honestly took me 15 minutes to figure out how to spell Sinead. I finally found it by googling Bald Women Singers. It was short list.)
