All tangled up

Since he is constantly on the move, Maddox often finds himself all tangled up in blankets...

Grandma and Grandpa get their turn...

Grandma and Grandpa Smith having a blast feeding Maddox..


It doesn't matter who is feeding him, Maddox loves his Bananas. It is absolutely amazing how well he has done with the solid food in only a couple of short weeks. By the looks of it he is going to be a good little eater.

Maddox Meets the Gulya's

This weekend our friends Kyle and Melissa came into town from Milwaukee with their 2 adorable boys Donovan and Hayden. The last time we saw the boys they were only a couple of months old, but now they are all grown up and on the move (really on the move). It was a real eye opener for Jenn and I and it was a good lesson in kid proofing 101 (I will soon be removing everything in sight that is at least 20 inches off of the ground). All of the boys had a good time together, as did the parents. It is always fun when we get together, and hopefully we will be able to do it more often.


Maddox is right at home with Melissa..


Kyle doesn't like to admit that he is actually a Bears fan....


Hayden thought Maddox needed an extra little push on the swing..


Donovan and Maddox having a ball on the floor..

Mom You're Hilarious

We aren't really sure what was so funny, but Maddox was having a blast!!!

Yummy Cereal

Today was a big day and we started Maddox on rice cereal. We were nervous that he would not be able to get any of the cereal off of the spoon, but boy were we wrong. As soon as we get close to his mouth, Maddox opens wide and tries to put the spoon in his mouth all by himself. At the end of the week we are going to try another solid food so he can grow into liking green beans.....video will be up soon!!

Thanks Grandpa Ross!!!

Maddox sure does like the new camo shirt that Grandpa Ross sent, but Dad is offended.......

Keeping on pace to be a big one.....

Maddox had his 4 month check up today and he is on track to be a big boy. He is in the 55% for his weight, and in the whopping 80% for his height. I am predicting that he will end up being a Brian Urlacher prodigy, but I may be expecting too much.

Along with the normal baby check up, Maddox got his second round of shots. That brings the score to date: Shots 2- Maddox 0. He did not like being pricked 4 times, but he took it like a champ and only screamed for a couple of minutes.

It is unbelievable how fast Maddox is changing. He is becoming increasingly interactive and is full of smiles. His favorite activity now is to roll onto his stomach and reach for his toys. He is scooting all over the floor on his back, and all of beautiful mullet hair is being rubbed off. Pretty soon I think we are going to be in for it and we will be chasing him all over the house.
