maddix is huge! seriously tho. he has some major thunder thighs! he is rolling everywhere & scooting slowly but surely. {not sure if im ready for this whole crawling thing to happen!} he is still not sleeping through the night…which means i’m not either..or brigham. oh well. who needs sleep anyways ; ) maddix enjoys grabbing faces, sucking on his toys, drooling, kicking or pushing you away if you’re in his space, staring people down, keeping his parents up at night.. & possibly the neighbors, being outside..yes, even in the sweltering heat, rolling onto his belly in his crib {which keeps him from falling asleep}, making us laugh, sitting in his bumbo, popcorn popping {the song of course}, closing his books while being read to, caressing the wall during diaper changes, spitting up {mostly just on hid daddy though}, sucking on his toes {no, he did not get that from me. or his dad}, melting my heart with his smile, holding hands, & cuddling with me at night. i havnt started him on solid foods yet..but i did try giving him a taste of an
avacado the other day :) he enjoyed it! i am so excited to start him on
homemade rice cereal when he turns 6 months old. overall, maddix is such a good baby!
so in celebration of maddix turning 5 months old today, i decided to try a photo shoot {by me of course}. however, the combination of no sleep yesterday, teething, still waking up at least 3 times in the middle of the night & possibly catching sickness from me, the photo shoot wasnt as successful as i imagined. {not to mention the not so amazing camera}. instead of a perky, smiley, happy baby…i got a tired, not so happy & into this as much as i was kind of baby. but of course the pictures are still ADORABLE because after all..they are of mr chubbs :)
{yes. his shorts are to small. and yes. i still put them on him..just for pictures.maybe}
and basically this was his way of saying that he was done for the day.
i still love you maddix :)
ps. yesterday allie & my mom watched maddix while i went to a dr’s appt. while i was gone, i texted allie to see how “mr chubbs” was doing. her response: “nate is doing great!”
i had to laugh at this :) i love my “little” brother & sister. they can be entertaining..sometimes. plus they’re pretty cute if you’d ask me.
pss. last week i got to see my sister
mel! she was in town with a family from boston that she works for as a nurse. she’s amazing & i love her!! plus she had a birthday a few weeks ago. mel is sooo talented. she is a nurse, she can do like 5 back hand springs in a row, she plays the organ, piano, sings, is super fashionable, gorgeous, the sweetest girl ever, so smart, & just super loveable!! love you mel!!
