Maddox's cold is almost completely gone now, but we have something new going on now...Maddox is teething!! He has been pretty grouchy lately because of it!! Maddox cant get enough of eating his fists and trying to eat the nipple of his bottle. A tooth hasn't come through yet, but they are well on their way. From what I can see (he wont let me look very much), he is getting at least two teeth but we think maybe three teeth. I am so excited, but also very sad that he is already old enough to start getting teeth. My boy is growing so quickly!!! I will be monitoring his teeth and will keep everyone update as soon as he pops one through!

Happy Valentines Day!!! This year Jamie and I decided not to get gifts for each other...so what do I get....an AMAZING prime rib dinner that Jamie made for me. He cooked it all by himself!!! I think it was the best prime rib I have ever had!! We decided to stay home this whole weekend (since Maddox hasnt been feeling well), and I honestly think it was the best Valentines Day weekend ever. Maddox even let us eat our prime rib supper without any distractions...which is out of the ordinary :) I do not need a day out of the year for my husband to tell me he loves me and to get me gifts. I am lucky enough to have a husband who tells me he loves me more than once a day, gets me gifts and surprises all the time, and makes me feel like I am the most beautiful person in the whole world. I LOVE YOU JAMIE!!!! I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful man in my life.

As for our babes...he seems to be feeling better, although he has his moments still, of course. Maddox is really starting to enjoy his "Bumbo" chair. I have posted some pictures of him in it. Next toy to grow into is his exersaucer he got from Grandma and Grandpa for Christmas. He seems to be growing so fast. He hasn't rolled over yet, but its only a matter of time. He seems to be getting close!!! :)

Baby Maddox is sick for the first time. We took him to the pediatrican yesterday, and it turns out that he has a cold (snot everywhere!!!!), an ear infection, and an ingrown toenail. He has had a cold since Sunday. You can tell he is definitely not feeling well....he is a very crabby boy, and keeping Mommy and Daddy busy. He is on some antibiotics, so hopefully we can have happy Maddox back soon!!! It is killing me seeing him in such pain and discomfort. I think its worse on Mommy than it is on Maddox!! Two more days until the weekend, and am looking forward to taking care of my baby all weekend long!

It has been almost a week since Maddox has been to the physical therapist. His pediatrician thought he might have torticollis (he favors looking to the right) so we made an appointment to see a physical therapist. According to the PT, he has a mild case of torticollis. We have been doing some streches and things at home to help him look left more, and the results are amazing (although I dont think it was very bad to begin with). He is now looking left quite a bit more and I have noticed that when in his carseat on the way to the babysitters, he ALWAYS looks left. YAY!! Maddox is definitely his father's child...meaning that he always has something wrong with him. From having to be in the NICU at the hospital when born due to him not breathing when he was eating, bad case of jaundice, hernia surgery, acid reflux, and now torticollis...what else could be wrong with him!!! :) Everything else is going great though. Jamie and I had a date on Friday night while Grandma and Grandpa Sturm babysat and stayed over night on Friday night with us. It was very nice to get out and have some "Mommy/Daddy time". But of course, we were anxious to get back to our boy!! Anyways, I am just hoping Maddox and I will get snowed in this week!!!
