Maddox…it’s only the beginning!

We have already experienced so many firsts with Maddox and we are looking forward to so many firsts to come. He has had his first bath, his first mohawk, and his first doctor’s appointment.

Let’s begin with his first doctor’s appointment. He was born with a heart murmur and our doctor wanted to see him this week to check on the status of it. We are thankful that the heart murmur is now barely noticeable and should be gone by his 2 week checkup. The appointment was very eventful though. We had to undress him for the doctor…so Jennifer and I began to do that while we were waiting on the doctor. As soon as we got him undressed his caboose exploded. My first reaction was, what do we do now? Well, we placed him on the table and began to change him. We were working double-time so that we would be finished by the time the doctor got in. Right as we were putting the new diaper on he began to spray the room! I was so stressed. We were able to get him and the room cleaned before the doctor came in…but not without hard work and quick thinking…most of the quick thinking was done by Jennifer. I stood there in shock!

Another first was his bath before we went to the doctor. That started out really good. He just sat there and enjoyed the moment…for the first minute. Then he got a little uncomfortable and just cried and cried. We finally finished and right when we were drying him off we noticed that his bottom had begun to explode again…are you noticing the trend. Maddox tends to relieve himself at the most inconvenient moments…but we’re loving every minute of it!

Another first you will notice in the pictures below is his first mohawk. He was born with pretty crazy hair so my philosophy has been why fight it? He’s my little rocker.
