4 Months of WONDERFUL!


Maddox made the four month mark on Monday November 2nd. It was such a happy day...again another happy day that was filled with shots, mommy why are you doing this to me and most importantly news from our sweet and amazing Dr. Murphy that our baby boy was healthy and doing great. He weighed in at 15lbs. 2ounces and his vertical (or length rather) was 25 inches! Both in the 55th percentile...so right in the middle I guess. He did great at his appointment this week and they really got to see his fun personality. There are amazing changes everyday that make Greg and I so proud and even more surprised. I love that he is so independent...I hate that he does not want to sleep in my arms that often anymore. I love that he is grabbing things and noticing whats in front of him....I hate that I can not wear long earrings or necklaces. I love that he actually lets other people hold and play with him as he smiles back at them...I hate that I'm not the ONLY one who can do that anymore. There are so many changes and so many things that make you say uhhh but the precious moments overshadow any frustrating moment. There have been times during the past four months where I didn't know if I could handle it and then I looked at my little man and realized I have a WONDERFUL life. I love every minute of it. As chaotic as it is my life has never seemed more right and more perfect. Maddox smiles. Maddox makes lots of noise. Maddox SLEEPS THROUGH THE NIGHT...life changing! Maddox eats as much formula during each feeding that we can fit into a bottle. Maddox sucks his thumb. Maddox goes to the Weekday School at UCC for three hours a week! Maddox loves going to spend the afternoons with his cousins! Maddox loves his stuffed animal named POP! Maddox needs his fingernails cut really often...Thank Goodness for Aunt Nat! Maddox brings more joy to my life than I knew possible. Maddox makes me see Greg smile in a way I have never saw before. Maddox makes me schedule ever minute of my day....every minute of each day that I spend with him are the most precious moments of my life! Maddox loves his bed...I love watching the innocence of him sleeping. I love showing him things...I love watching him find his feet by himself. I love being a mother more and more everyday! Thank you baby boy for making the last four months of my life so fun and fulfilled. I love all four months of you! My little boy has started to learn how to hold his bottle.
He only does it for about 30 seconds at a time but he is learning!
My Two favorite Boys!

Dr. Murphy encouraged us to start giving Maddox a little bit of cereal to try and get him to learn how to eat with a spoon. It is quite the learning experience for sure.

As you can see more gets on him than actually in his mouth...but were learning!

Maddox loves to watch his Faith Baby video from Nani!
