Not much has been going on in our lives, except lots of eating and not much sleeping (for me...not for Maddox). Actually, Maddox sleeps pretty well, except when he has to go number two, which he conveniently has to do a lot during the night. He will wake himself up to go! Last night he woke up grunting and growning and pushing three times and loaded his diaper! Boy do I love changing poopy diapers in the dark too...Anyway, here is a pic of Maddox after one of his feeding frenzies. Can you tell he likes to eat by the size of that watermelon of a tummy! You can even see his diaper marks from the diaper being too tight! We are already in size twos and 3-6 month clothing.
Maddox sleeping in his swing and no I did not leave him like this. I propped his head up with a blanket so he wouldn't get a kink (sp?), although I am not sure that babies even get kinks with their amazing flexibility!
This is his new thing...sucking on his hands. Jeff has tried a couple times to get him to suck on his thumb and Maddox has had his thumb in there, but he keeps his hand in a tight fist and so never has succeeded in finding it. Once in awhile a finger, usually his index finger, will escape the fist and he will end up choking/gagging himself. Then his self soothing method fails and he starts getting upset cuz he can't figure out what is going on. It is kind of funny. :)
Here is Maddos during tummy time...a complete flop. I think he would get an F if he were being graded. His giant head is just too much for him so he usually just turns his head to one side and lays there until I pick him up. Funny guy.
So in order to help him strengthen his neck muscles, we got him a Bumbo off of Craig's List really cheap. Yeah for Craig's List! You can see he has a lot to work on! It isn't easy being top heavy and having a head that is in the 100th percentile and a body that is 50% behind it! Oh, and by the way, at his two month check up he weighed 12 lbs. 10 oz. and was 22 1/2 inches long and his head was 42 cm around, so his little body is slowly catching up to his head. His only grew one cm since his last check up. Good thing it is slowing down!

What a great looking family. I just love the Bumpo Photo...too cute! We sure wish we could see him, hopefully before he is one! We love you guys. We are trying to teach Brooke to say Maddox, she is getting pretty good at saying Guff (when she wants to).
Yeah Carter failed the tummy time too, he would just lay there and scream the entire time. No worries, even if they fail, they turn out to be okay. Sorry you aren't very happy with the pics. Sadly really good photographers cost oh so much for so little.
I love the Bumbo picture. Maddox looks like he is leaning to try to look at something. So cute!
I love his full tummy picture. Gorden's head was/is big too and that's what he'd do on his tummy, just turn it sideways and lay there (well, and cry!). It actually made crawling really difficult and walking easier, b/c of being so top heavy. Cute pictures!
