Maddox meets Aunt Roxanne…

Maddox got to meet his Aunt Roxanne for the very first time over the Thanksgiving break. She got to experience everything we’ve experienced in the past several weeks in only a few days…the dirty diapers…the fussy moods…the smiles…the frowns….the laughs….the noises…him picking his head up and coming very close to rolling over…and so much more.

Maddox turned 8 weeks old the day after Thanksgiving! He amazes us each and every day. He has started picking himself up really high when we lay him down on his stomach. Part of the time it looks like he’s going to roll over. I’ve been trying really hard to implant the words “da-da” in [...]

Monday I took Maddox to the doctor. I have been worried about his excessive sweating. He was born with a small heart murmur that had not completely gone away by his 2 week check-up and the doctor told us that it should be totally gone by his 2 month check-up. The doctor said we should [...]

Our little man turned 5 weeks old today. He has been doing so good. The other night he actually slept for longer than 6 hours. We are all getting more rest now that we’re putting him on his stomach to sleep. We ended up investing in a sensor that you put under the mattress that [...]
