Jada the Witch

Jada is going to be a little witch for Halloween this year. We tried on the costume tonight and it's just too cute! Thought I'd share. I'll post pictures of Maddox in his puppy costume tomorrow.

Maddox's Cereal Experience

So, Dr. Larkin said to start giving Maddox cereal at 12 weeks. Well, he has been starving and wanting to eat every 2 hours. So, I decided to introduce cereal now (he's a little over 10 weeks). I've just been giving him a tad bit - to get him used to the spoon and just see how he responds to it. So far so good!! Here's a cute picture of him attempting to eat his rice cereal. So cute!

Maddox 10 Weeks Old! Photo Shoot

"Mommy, I don't like this hat!"

2 Month Checkup

We went to the doctor yesterday. Maddox is doing great. He weighs 11 lb 4 oz and is 23 inches long! Dr. L said he's in the 75th percentile, and will be above-average height! That's good, since his mommy and daddy aren't so tall. :-) He's a growing boy!! His belly button is, in fact, an umbilical hernia (mommy is a google genius). Dr. L confirmed that it's asymptomatic and should go away on its own by time he's 2. He still hears his heart mur-mur. We're supposed to go back to see the cardiologist next month. It could take several more months to heal up - but we'll know more as time goes. Everything looked good. He got his first shots, which broke my heart. He's been a little fussy today, but we're glad all is well. That's the 4-1-1!!

Maddox is 2 Months Old!

Can you believe it? He has his 2 month check-up at the doctor on Monday. He gets his first vaccinations, which is sad. I'll let everyone know how the doctor's appointment goes. I want Dr. Larkin to check his belly button. It's been sticking out and just weird looking. It's not like an outie. I was google-ing, and I read about an umbilical hernia, and I'm thinking that is probably what it is. If that is the case, it should go away by time he's 2 years old. Here is a picture of him in his new outfit I got at BabyGap. I couldn't resist the hat!! LOL

Maddox: 7-8 Weeks Old

My cutie pie!

Happy Fall

Maddox's First Trip to the Zoo

He pretty much slept the whole time, but it was amazing how much he reacted to the giraffs! So cute!! I still took some snapshots for memory's sake. It'll be more fun next year!

Celebration for Don's Birthday at Texas de Brazil

My parents took us to Texas de Brazil to celebrate Don's birthday. They had never been before, and I think they really enjoyed the experience. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABE!!

Don's Birthday with the Mayalls at J Alexanders

Happy 29th Birthday to my wonderful husband!! We had a great time at J Al's with the family. The food was great and the company was better.

Working from Home

So, here is a typical morning. I wake up with my laptop to check work email and figure out a plan for the day. I have Maddox on one leg and the lap top on the other. While trying so hard to focus on work, he starts making his adoreable noises and then smiling and wanting to play. How can I resist that little face??? The joys of motherhood!
