Putting Gerber Out of Business

Who needs baby food when you have your toes?? Maddox discovered this week that he is extremely flexible and can get both of his feet into his mouth. He does get quite upset when he can't devour his whole foot and has to settle for his big toe. He is keeping Mom and Dad entertained and it is amazing at all of the new things he is doing. The next adventure will probably be crawling, so Dad better get busy with kid proofing the house.

I DON"T NEED A HAIRCUT!!!

Some people have suggested that Maddox needs to visit the local barber shop. I think people are crazy, and I don't know what they are talking about. You be the judge.....

Happy 4th of July!!

Our friends Alisha, TP and their 1 month old daughter Piper came down to visit today and enjoy the 4th of July festivities. We all ventured out and attended the Iowa City Jazzfest on the U of IA campus, and then stayed for the fireworks. The fireworks are usually held at City Park in Iowa City, but since City Park is still "Lake Park", the show was moved to the Pentacrest next to the Old Capital. It created a very pretty backdrop and I wouldn't be surprised if they are not held there more often.
We were really unsure how Maddox would react to all of the loud booms and lights, but we have determined that he is going to grow up and be a pyromaniac. He was not fazed at all, and he loved sitting on Dad's lap watching throughout the hour long show. The only fireworks he did not enjoy were the one's he left in his pants.......



Just taking it all in...

Our Little Overachiever

This weekend while we were visiting the grandparents, Maddox shocked us all and decided he was ready to roll over. Tummy time is now a thing of the past and he is rolling over consistently from his belly to back. Occasionally he even throws in a back to belly maneuver. Check out the video in the video bar.......
