CHRISTMAS at 11 MONTHS OLD

Does anyone know what to do with an 8 foot long Alphabet caterpillar?

Annual Silver Dollar City Christmas trip.

Trying to get a pic for our Christmas card, but Maddox was not a happy reindeer.



Helping to untie the Christmas lights or something like that.



Tasting some sugar cookie icing-yummo!
Maddox is now 11 months old, and I can't believe we are drawing close to his 1 year birthday. The last year has flown by and, except for the lack of sleep, it has been great. Maddox has changed our lives in many ways and we have had many great adventures together....sometimes just going grocery shopping turns into an adventure. Maddox now has 8 teeth and can eat just about anything. We have made it through his first cold where he learned to say "mamamamamamamamama" really well. He is crawling everywhere and cruising around all of the furniture. He loves Sesame Street and especially Elmo and it proves useful when I have to cut his nails or get him dressed and need him to hold still for a second or two.

What a wonderful Christmas! Becky and her new husband Daniel and Anna visited for a week. We had a marathon holiday, running here and there and trying to get everyone's Christmas in, but watching Maddox play with his new toys and his extended family made it worth it. He was only mildly interested in opening presents, but he loved the Christmas tree and the wrapping paper and bows. I can't believe how many toys he got and have no idea where to put everything. Maybe I'll re-wrap some of them for next year:)
