OUTBACK MADDOX-"What's up Mate?"

Hangin with the girls

GOING ON A WALK WITH GRAMMY AND GRANDPA AND THE DOGS

BATH TIME WITH DADDY

Sweater Weather

Maddox woke up early on a Friday morning to play a little and eat breakfast and then go back to bed-all before 8AM.

7 MONTHS OLD

Maddox is now 7 months old. The time is flying by. He has been a busy little boy this past month. He learned to sit, although we still keep him surrounded with pillows just in case. He is spending more and more time on his belly, but it is still not his favorite position. Hopefully he'll get interested in crawling soon, although I am trying to enjoy these last few months of relative calm before the storm. Maddox would much rather be on the go either getting carried around the house, in his stroller on a walk, or riding in the car. He hates to be left behind. He is a little social butterfly and loves to see new things and meet new people, especially other children.

While Maddox may be a little behind the curve with crawling, he is an overachiever in the growth department. At his 6 month appointment he was in the 100% percentile for height, 95% for head size, and 90% for weight. At least he is proportionate!

GRANDPARENTS 60TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

We went to my Grandparents 60th wedding anniversary on their farm. Maddox got to sit on the tractor and meet his cousins and aunts and uncles for the first time.

COUSINS

Maddox spent some quality time with his new cousin Alexa born July 18. Cousin Kendra also helped babysit when she came to visit.

Maddox learned to sit this month. He can sit for 20 minutes now without toppling over, but we still keep him surrounded with pillows-wouldn't want to bump that precious head of his.
