First Haircut!

Well, the curls are gone for now. It was looking so much like a mullet that I had to get him a haircut. He now looks like a little boy instead of a baby. I miss the curls but I think as his hair grows that they will come back!

First of all you are going to have to understand while posting this that I'm extremely sleep deprived and beyond exhausted. Maddux had a cold and is cutting teeth so he hasn't been sleeping well, therefore I haven't been sleeping well. And on top of that My dad was admitted to the ICU on Tuesday night with a heart block and erratic pulse problems. Many sleepless hours later, he has a clean bill of health for the arteries and coranaries in his heart and a pacemaker to regulate his electrical issues. So hopefully he's coming home tomorrow!

Below is a video of some things we've found to do with the dark times that used to be light outside playtime before daylight savings. Enjoy! I have many stories to share, but I can't hold my eyes open so I must go to sleep, must go to sleep, must go to....................

We love playing with the Clay, Brennan, and Lily! Here are some pictures from last week during one of our numerous playdates!

Maddux would hold on behind Clay for laps around the downstairs. It was so cute, every once in awhile Maddux would fall down and Clay would stop and turn around and say "Maddux okay??" until Maddux got up and was ready to go again.

Here is a video of Maddux and Clay with the car! It is so cute to watch them play!

Happy Halloween!

I may never be able to figure out how to arrange pictures in the correct order on this site. If anyone can help, please do! Anyways, here are some pics from our Halloween weekend. Maddux carved pumpkins, went to Halloween Hoopla at the Library downtown, went to two different fall festivals and trick or treated! We had a great time!

First Trip on the Boat

Last week, when it was much warmer of course, we took Maddux out to Lake Anna on the boat! Matt even caught a fish! We had a ton of fun and Maddux was so tired he fell asleep

while eating on the way home, see video!

Bubble Boy

Maddux loves bubbles!!! This clip even shows him making a few!

Enjoy!

Welcome to the Zoo! Here are some of the animal sounds that Maddux knows. It's amazing how much he really understands! You can see how long his attention span is by the last video!!!

Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday we went to the pumpkin patch. It was so much fun! Maddux had a blast and did everything that we allowed him to do. He did the giant slide with daddy. It's an underground tunnel slide. He climbed on the giant pumpkins, and saw all the goats, pigs, cows, and chickens. He even got to see some pig races, boy were they cute pigs! Then we went on a hayride out to the lit up pumpkin patch and we found some great pumpkins!!! We then ate dinner, in the dark, and then Maddux went into the hay barn for a little while. He loved everything and did great staying up about an hour past bedtime. Let's just say he was really ready for bed tonight!!!! Pictures will follow tomorrow as I'm too tired and suffering from allergies from the hay ride last night!

Silly Maddux

Maddux can be quite silly lately and I thought I'd share a few instances of that silliness! Here he is during a visit to Madison in Joe and Jennifer's new barn. Of course Matt is down there holding him up, we just thought this would be funny.


One of Maddux's favorite silly things is plowing Summer. Here he is in the process of rolling Summer. Summer doesn't really like it, but she tolerates it. Sometimes he'll push her across the floor. I never thought in a million years that Summer would be this good with him.
Here's a silly face!
Here he is plowing Uncle Brett!
Playing with the dog again! He loves his dog!!
Below you can see Maddux "dancing" which consists of spinning around. Also you can see his supermodel pose, which is so funny!
