5 and a 1/2 months




Maddux is growing so fast now! He is almost sitting up by himself already!! I just know he is gonna crawl soon! His tummy time is great! We put him down and the next thing we know, he is on the floor about 3 feet away from where we laid him down! He is a mover and groover just like when he was in the belly!
We had our doctors appointment last Friday before the beach! He grew an inch and a half and gained a pound in one month!! He is doing so good! He is in the 10th percentile now! I'm so proud! She suggested we feed him another serving of cereal during the day and said we could feed him baby food as of this past week!




On that note....well, Maddux wasn't a big fan! He loves his milk, but not so much the baby food! We started with apple sauce and he was having none of it! He wouldn't even open his mouth. And, when I forced it in there, he would just spit it out! It was so funny! I even modeled (because that is what teachers do) with ice cream with me....but with no success! He does stare at us when we eat, it is hilarious! It is like he is jealous, but then he won't try it himself! In any case, my mom is coming here tomorrow and claims she will show me how to force feed him baby food! Of course, not really, but she said she has a fool proof method!! So we'll see!




So, we just got back from the beach on Sat! Man, that was an amazing trip and Maddux seemed to really enjoy the change of scenery for a week! He loved swimming in the pool, but not as much in the ocean! The ocean was freezing! The pool was fantastic! I am ready to go back already! My redneck pool in the backyard is just not quite the same!




So, mom, dad, Tyler, and McKenzie come in town tomorrow for 5 days and we can't wait! The kids (my sisters kids) haven't met Maddux yet, so I am so excited! I'll post pics of that after their visit! Not much else to say, so I'll update more after the big weekend!! Hasta Pasta!
