Happy Thanksgiving

We had a very nice Thanksgiving this year. We spent Thanksgiving Day with the Mayalls. Carol fixed an awesome dinner, and we spent time with Don's mom and dad and Matt and Cara (and Sweetpea and Tia!) Maddox got to sit at the table with everyone, in a booster-seat style setup that his Mimi made for him. He thought he was big stuff! Friday, we went to Olive Branch to have Thanksgiving with Mamaw and Papaw Foy. My dad outdid himself with dinner. We played outside for awhile with Papaw and Uncle Pat hung Christmas lights. Papaw also took Maddox on a quick 4 wheeler ride (which Maddox loves!) He is all boy. Here are some pics from our time in Olive Branch.

The Puppy Says "Ruff"

Maddox is starting to learn his animal sounds. The first one he has down is what noise a puppy makes. In this video you also see how funny he thinks it is when I tell him to "be careful." He likes to crawl under the coffee table and has bumped his head a few times. So, when he starts to go under, I have been telling him to "Be Careful!" which he thinks is histerical. Go figure!

Baby Update

We had our first doctor's appointment last Wednesday. Everything is looking good! As you can see below, the baby is a little peanut right now. It was too early to hear the heartbeat, but the EKG showed a whopping 160 beats per minute! We got to see the little heart pounding away, and we look forward to our next appointment when we should be able to hear it. So far, I'm dealing with the typical nausea and fatigue - but I must say things so far have been pretty smooth and not near as sick as I was with Maddox! Due date is June 24th! I'll keep you posted.

Laughing So Hard It Hurts...

Donald and Maddox were playing with a ball in Maddox's room, and D accidentally got it stuck on top of Maddox's armoire. So, when D went to jump up to try to get it off, Maddox started laughing really hard. He thought it was hilarious!! Here are a few videos we caught. He laughed so hard, he started kind of whining because it hurt. I love his little giggle. So adoreable!

Maddox Play Time

Maddox enjoys playing in his room. He has discovered "eyes" and likes to point them out on his dolls. He also loves to throw balls (like any boy) and counts to 3 in his own baby jibberish before he releases the ball into the air. He's such a smarty britches. I captures some cute play moments on video. Hope you enjoy!

Maddox Update

Maddox is getting so big! He is walking all over the place! Exploring and learning more and more every day. He loves to smile and laugh. His favorite things to do are to go outside, play the drums or anything remotely like a drum - he'll even use your knee, if you don't mind...and books. He loves to read! His latest thing is "eyes". He points to characters' eyes in books, and he'll point to his own eyes and say "eyes". It's very cute! I thought I'd post some videos from the past week or so; so you can see how big he's getting!

This video was taken after dinner. Maddox decided it was funny to throw his ravioli in the floor. So when we were finished with dinner, Maddox had to help Mommy clean it up. He'd pick up the ravioli and put it in the trash can, like a good boy....

This is just a quick video to show you how quickly he gets from point A to point B these days!

Another one of Maddox's new "things" is giving kisses. This is just a sweet video of him giving his Mommy lots of lovin'....

Happy Birthday Daddy!! Family Day at the Fair.

Hanging Out at Mimi's!
