11 Weeks














I CANNOT believe it, but Maddux is 11 weeks old today!! Worse than that...I have to go back to school 2 weeks from today!!!! It's so sad...he is growing up too fast already and time is flying by! Thankfully, I only have to go back for 3 weeks and then I have 2 months of summer with him! The timing really turned out pretty good! I actually do feel lucky!
So, Mom and Dad (Gigi and Dandy) came for Easter and we had a blast! The weekend started off with Maddux's 2 month doctor appointment. He was 21 and 1/4 inches long and weighed 10 lbs. exactly! Unfortunately, he is still in the 20th percentile for all of his measurements. When mom told the doctor that Sam was hoping for a tall quarterback type kid, she told us that he probably should have considered the gene pool he married into first! I guess it is too late for that now! Maddux also ended up getting 6 shots that day and thankfully Gigi was there to help....I am not sure I could have held him down like she had to to get the shots! It was awful, his cry was a cry I had never heard before! He survived it though (better than me) and really behaved well the rest of the day even though we could tell he was in pain!

The rest of the weekend was pretty standard for an Easter weekend. We went to Kathy's (La La's) house for a party, went to church (Maddux's first time), and had an Easter egg hunt at Melanie's grandparent's house. Maddux won the egg hunt since everyone kept finding his eggs and handing them to my dad (who was carrying a sleeping Maddux around the yard:)).
All in all, it was a great Easter. I can't remember the last time I spent Easter with my parents! I really had an awesome time and was not ready for them to leave that Monday! I love having them come here...it is so nice!
The Monday after Easter, we went to the Braves opening day game! Maddux, Macon and I sat in the car for 2 and a half hours trying to get to the game...made it for the 5th inning, and then spent another 2 and a half hours in the car leaving the game! Believe it or not, Maddux was a trooper! He loved the game (sitting in KK and Nats laps) and really didn't mind being in the car for all that time! At least we know he can stay in the car for a good amount of time and stay fairly calm for the majority of the time!


Well, that is about all I have for now!! Happy Spring ya'll!! Enjoy the pics and thanks for catching up with us!!
