Ok, so I am really sorry I havent blogged in a month and a half. Lots going on, and really didnt think people were reading until I got yelled at by a few.

Our big boy is ALL over the place. He is rolling and rolling all over the house and his crib. We will wake up in the morning only to find him laying the opposite way in his crib. He is now so long, that when he gets turned around, he gets all scrunched up and mad that he got in that position! When he first rolled over, we didnt know the extent of his tumbling, and looked over and he rolled from the living room to the kitchen (and of course hitting his head on the linolium in the mean time). I cant believe how he changes from day to day. Not only his look but just seeing him start to "play" with toys instead of just looking at them or just holding them in his hand. Maddox's new favorite toy is the excersaucer that Grandma and Grandpa got him for Christmas. According to my coworker, they got him an "excersaucer on steroids" with all the toys it has on it. He will spend forever in it!!!

Maddox's eating habits have changed since the last time I blogged too. He is now eating cereal in the morning with the babysitter and than a serving of baby food in the evening. So far we have tried sweet potatoes, peas, carrots, and bananas. He of course loves them all (he will eat anything). I even tried making my own baby food this past Sunday and it turned out great!! I think I will be making all the baby food from now on. Sooooo easy!!!! I have also tried introducing the sippy cup to Maddox too recently, and he is still trying to catch on to that. Not the greatest. I am not sure if he is trying to adjust to sucking from the spout of the cup or if he is trying to get used to the cold water inside it. He drinks and drinks and then has to stop and gasp, maybe cough a couple of times, and then goes back to chugging away.

As for his health, he is doing really well!! Knock on wood!!! It seems that he always has a runny nose (never goes away) :) He has croup a couple of weeks ago, but is now over that.

His new thing is talking.....and talking.....and talking..... I think he likes the sound of his voice. The whole way to work and the whole way home from work (25-30 minutes each way) consists of a Maddox conversation. I dont even get in my radio time!!!!! Oh well, I think a Maddox conversation tops any music/morning show.

As for the rest of the family, we are doing well. I have to say that I have the best husband in the whole world. Jamie was looking forward for MONTHS to turkey hunting this past weekend. He was so excited that he took off Friday work and left for the Loess Hills on Thursday night to stay in a cabin all weekend with his friends. I got sick at work on Friday and Jamie volunteered to come home from his trip so he could take care of Maddox for me. I didnt want him to, but knew I was in no shape to take care of babes for the whole weekend. No matter what is going on, Jamie ALWAYS puts his family first. Maddox and I are so thankful we have such an amazing man in our life. We love you Daddy!!!!
