Puffs

Here is Maddox trying a puff for the first time. For those of you who don't know what a puff is, it's a crunchy little snack made for babies. This is his first type of snack like this. Up until that he has just had oatmeal. Only a couple more weeks though and he gets to start real food. YAY!

He's not too sure what to think....


Then he gets the hang of it and seems to really like them...

Looking for more:)

Maddox and Ella

Jim, Maddox, and I went to visit my friend Erica and her little girl Ella. Maddox and Ella had a good time playing together. Here is one of the only pics we could get them to sit still for.

Lazy Sunday Pics

Just hanging out today... got some cute pics of the little man.

Cornwell Halloween Bash

Heather, Sara, her boyfriend Martin, and myself dressed up the kids and took them to Tanya's Halloween party last night. Other than a few rain showers, the weather was good. It was a good time.

Pumpkin Patch

We went to Ashland Berry Farm today. Heather, Jay, and Abigail went too. It was a lot of fun. I have always loved to go the pumpkin patch every year so it's fun to be able to keep the tradition going with Maddox.

Maddox's first hayride.


The whole gang (minus Jim, the photographer)

Look at that hair blowing in the wind!

Us with the scarecrow

Not sure what Maddox is supposed to be here.. some scary guy I guess... he's too cute to look scary though:)

"O.k. Daddy I've got my pumpkin, let's go:)"

We couldn't resist sticking Maddox's head in all these fun things. The things we do to our kids for good pictures!

New bouncy toy

Aunt Hee Hee and cousin Abigail were so nice to pass down this precious bouncy toy. Maddox loves it! He is so lucky to have a cousin that is 6 months older:)

Maddox is ready for winter!

Here's Maddox modeling his new winter coat and hat. He is all ready for the cold weather now.

Maddox and Abigail

Isn't this precious?? Look at them holding hands!!

This was just minutes after Maddox rolled over from his stomach to his back!! Of course I didn't get it on tape or anything, we were just sitting there and he did it! So exciting:) Stay tuned for a video!

Uncle David's 16th Birthday

Today was David's 16th Birthday! Of course I forgot our camera but Heather got a couple cute pictures of Maddox for us!

Hanging out with Daddy and Aunt Kelley

Learning to drive already!

Jumper

This is Maddox's new favorite thing. He is just getting the hang of it. He has figured out he can spin around and bounce up and down. I haven't gotten a good video yet but thought this was such a cute pic!

Maddox and Aunt Hee Hee

Maddox loves his Aunt Hee Hee! He tells me she is the best babysitter in the whole world:)

Aunt Kelley's 21st Birthday

Thanks to Aunt Hee Hee for taking these cute pics for us since we forgot our camera:)

Happy family:)

All wrapped up... it was getting chilly out

Maddox loves his Uncle Doobie

Maddox's first tooth!!!

So Maddox goes to stay with Aunt Hee Hee today. She calls me and tells me he has been screaming all morning. He had been getting a cold but we were thinking it must be getting worse so I left work to take him to the doctor. I get over to Heather's and we discover what could be the culprit of all his displeasure today.... his first tooth just popped through!! Yep that's right my little man has a tooth:) I can't believe it! Since we had the appt. we took him to the dr. anyway and in fact he does just have a cold (and some more weight.. he gained 1 lb 2 0z since his last visit 3 weeks ago. He is now up to 16lbs 8 oz.). He actually hasn't been too fussy since I got him this afternoon so hopefully I won't have days and nights of screaming ahead of me due to this whole teething process. I can't get a picture of it yet b/c it's not that visible. I did take a couple pics in his exersaucer this afternoon. The bottom one of him chewing on that toy is what he is doing to everything!! He has just started grabbing for and picking up everything so it all goes right in his mouth for him to gnaw on. Well that is one of our first very exciting milestones... with more to follow very soon, I'm sure.

State Fair

We went to the fair yesterday with Heather and Abigail. It was a lot of fun.

We saw lots of animals.. here we are with some birds.


Here is Daddy playing a game to try and win Maddox a prize....

And he did! He won him a little cowboys bear. Not such a great pic of Maddox but had to put up a pic of what Daddy won him:)
