Maddox turns 1!

Maddox turned 1 on March 1st. It's crazy how fast this year went by.
Luckily for me, Maddox is my smallest baby and will happily snuggle with me anytime.

After Maddox woke up, he got to have whole milk in a sippy cup. He would take a little sip and then throw the cup. He wasn't sure what to think about it.
 Happy boy, crawling all over!
 We just had my family over for pizza and cupcakes.

 Maddox got a couple presents, but his favorite was definitely the balls.

 He wasn't quite sure what to do with the cupcake at first...
 But he soon realized that it was delicious!
 On Sunday, we had Corey and MaryAnn and the Doty's over for dinner and we celebrated a little more. 
Maddox knew what the cupcake was this time! 

Maddox had his 1 year check up. He is growing and looking healthy!

He was 19 pounds (20th percentile, which is the biggest he has ever been)
and he was 23 inches (0.2 percentile) 
This weight to height ratio makes him look like a little chubby baby!

Maddox is super happy most of the time.
He loves to crawl behind Mason and Morgan and try to play whatever they are playing.
He is a FAST crawler and pulls up on anything and everything He walks along furniture but is not brave enough to let go yet. 
He is absolutely the baby of the family. Morgan and Mason both just love him to death.
Morgan loves to sneak Maddox bites of her food and Maddox will eat anything and everything except bananas. He makes the funniest face and spits them out. 
I've tried to mix bananas with other food and he always finds the banana piece and spits it out. 
Maddox is so good at wearing his hearing aids and not pulling them out.
He is starting to wave and blow kisses, shake his head no and nod yes.
He babbles a ton and loves to dance and lead the music.
We sure love our little Maddox boy and are so glad that he is part of our family!

February Fun


February was full of lots of fun. Once the sun came out, we sent Daddy out to shovel the driveway and the kids took their cars for their first rides outside.

 Maddox got to be bundled up and snuggled while we watched the kids
 One day Morgan got sent to time out in her room. When I told her that she could come out, this is what she looked like. She had taken off all her clothes and put on her fairy wings and tutu.

 We played lots of dress up.
 Maddox got a plate of spaghetti for the first time. He immediately picked up the plate and rubbed it on his head...He has not had the privilege of eating off a plate since :)
 Mason celebrated Dr Suess' birthday at school. He made this super cool hat. He also got to take his favorite Dr Suess book to share with his class.
