I've been waiting to share these "Madeline in a year" pictures, until I took the last one of her at one year! I took these with the boys as well, almost every month, from newborn until one year. It has been a fun little tradition. I did miss several months with Madeline but got in a few extras too!
We were given these Cuddle and Kind dolls as baby gifts from some sweet friends, and we used them for the monthly pictures with each of them. They are super high quality dolls and so soft and cuddly. I highly recommend them for special baby gifts or just for fun for your own kiddos. They are one of our little ones' favorite toys!
The one Madeline has in all these pictures is the Charlotte doll. SO CUTE!
Also for fun, I'm sharing her little outfit details since I love to hear where other people find their children's clothes, and some of you might be like me. =)
First off, because I missed taking these pictures the first few months, here are a few without her doll.

Madeline is such a doll! Cute pictures! I’m sure you had a lot of fun taking these pictures with her!😊😊
ReplyDeleteShe’s so cute! Thanks for taking the time to post this. How is she doing now?
ReplyDeleteShe is doing so so well! Literally such a healthy and spunky little miss! She can literally do anything other babies her age can do; really the only difference now is her size. =)
DeleteShe is so very cute!!! Thank you for sharing your sweet baby pictures
ReplyDeleteChelsy - She is just beautiful. I love all her head gear. In some pictures she reminds me of John, while others you. She is just a bundle of joy! Best - Cathie
ReplyDeleteI agree-sometimes I think she is a mini John for sure, but then more and more lately I've been hearing that she looks like me! Perfect mix I guess. =)
DeleteThank you for sharing! Your little daughter is adorable. I know you must enjoy her and your two boys very much. Every picture I looked at was my favorite until I looked at the next and instantly had a new favorite. You've inspired me to find some of that amazing head gear for my own little granddaughter!
ReplyDeleteI hope you were able to get some! They are my favorites! =)
DeleteWe do enjoy them so much-they bring loads of joy to our lives!
How are you feeling now? That must have been such a scary thing for you to go through. I recently had to wear a heart monitor for a week after developing some frightening extra beats. Praise Jesus it was just stress related. Happy to see your sweet family doing so well.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for asking! I am feeling really well. It's not a huge difference and my heart still has issues, but I can definitely tell a difference when I exercise and do different things, and also in my body temperature and little things like that. So grateful!
DeleteThat is a relief to hear. I think God was really looking out for you.
DeleteChelsy, thank you so much for the update! Your family has often been on my mind since Madeline's birth. I'm so glad to hear she's doing so so well! I hope you are too! I pray for you often!
ReplyDeleteThankyou so much; that is so kind. I really appreciate the prayers!
