Maddox's First Haircut

Why I love hangin' out with Papaw Foy...

Improvement in Mad Walking Skills! Yay Maddox!

I thought I better post a video of how Maddox is walking now. He is still getting the hang of it. It is so funny because when he gets going, he practically runs. It's like he has to go fast to stay ahead of the fall. So cute.

Some of Maddox's First Steps

Take 2

Sorry for the naked baby video AND the messy house, but I had to share some of Maddox's first steps. He walks a lot better thant his now (as long as he's barefoot). With shoes, he still looks about like this. I'll try to get a video of him walking now. He's getting better and better every day! :)

Maddox's First Birthday

Maddox Update: One Year Old

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile! Maddox is doing great. He has started walking! He turned ONE on August 19th, and had a great one-year checkup with Dr. Larkin. He is in the 50-70% for his height, which is crazy. He is already wearing 18-24 month clothes and a size 5 shoe that will be tight on him any day. Growing like a weed! He is drinking whole milk now and eating lots of table food. Where did my baby go????

Gulf Shores (Part 1)

My family is at the beach, for our annual Gulf Shores vacation. We're staying at Summer House, which is great. This is Maddox's first time to see the ocean. He isn't too fond of the actual beach. He prefers the pool. :)

This is the view from our condo. My dad is so handsome!

Maddox was lovin' the spaghetti that Aunt Annita made for dinner.

He was giving me spaghetti kisses.

Here we are in the water. He just stared at the water and the waves.

He was making sure they wouldn't get him. Cute.

I'll try to update the blog soon, with some more pictures.

Maddox: 11 Months Old!

To celebrate Maddox's 11 month old birthday and the gorgeous Memphis weather this past weekend, we went to the Memphis Zoo. It was a lot of fun! Maddox wasn't as enthused as I thought he'd be - but he did pay attention when you pointed animals out. He says "gack" for a duck (instead of quack) which is adoreable. I think he would have liked the acquarium and birds, but we didn't make it to that side of the zoo. The young adults were zoo'ed out. We'll have to go back some time and see the fish and birds.

Maddox is playing in the water near the fountain at the zoo entrance.

He loves the water!

Maddox enjoyed the view of the elephants much better from Daddy's shoulders!

Enjoying the A/C and some cold juice after several hours at the zoo.

We had a great weekend. We'll be headed to Florida this coming weekend for a week at the beach. I'll be sure to take lots of good pictures of Maddox and his first experience with sand and ocean. It should be fun! I bet he'll love it...

Happy Independence Day

Maddox had a great 4th of July weekend. Friday, we spent the evening at Mamaw and Papaw Foys' house. Uncle Patrick and Daddy set off fireworks. Maddox did so well - just watched them and didn't even appear scared. Saturday, we spent the evening with Mimi and Poppie Mayall. We watched the big firework show in Washington, DC on the tv. The weekend was full of fun and relaxation. Sunday was just a good ole' "hanging around the house" day, enjoying the new drum and the new car bed. NO he isn't doing so well sleeping in it just yet, but we're working on it! :-)

Maddox Got His Own Drum!

For a Happy Independence Day gift to Maddox, we got him his very own drum (he loves his daddy's so much!) It was so cute....he couldn't decide whether to eat it or beat on it!
