New Years- a time of reflection

So it is tradition to reflect on the previous year and make resolutions for the new one at New Years. I, however, do not do resolutions, for the most part. I do resolve to try to do a few things differently, but mostly it is to keep the house reasonably clean, love my kids unconditionally- well, within reason, and try something new at least once each year.

Becoming a grandmother last year was, hands down, my big 'try something new'...hahaha. I am uncertain what this year will hold, but I know Who holds it. :)

I am reflecting on the past four months and Miss Madison has grown nearly double her birth weight, is trying to sit up, has found her toes, laughed early, has discovered her voice, and is just a joy.

We spent a good portion of New Years weekend together. We visited old friends on Saturday, and on Sunday she slept in Sunday School after a rocky session in the church service.

snoozing through Sunday School class. :)

Sitting up on the booth seat at Weathervane

So cute..:)

Just feeling a bit proud of herself in the high chair at Jason's Deli.

On Monday and Tuesday we both had lunch with Mommy. Both times in which she made it quite evident that the car seat/stroller was not her preferred place to sit. LOL. Too growny. Of course, the rest of our week was spent together randomly according to mommy's work schedule, but the first three days of the new year were for Grammy, Mommy, and  Madison time. :)

Sometimes just changing your routine and taking time out for the people you love is the best resolution you can make. THAT may be my biggest change this year. :)
