The Many Faces of Maddox...

Maddox is growing so fast I can literally tell that he gets bigger overnight. It sounds exaggerated- but I SWEAR!!! Some of his clothes say 12 and 18 months... he is 6 months and three weeks old. Now, some of his clothes still say 6, or 6/9 months... but this kid is swelling like a balloon! He'll go through a couple of weeks where he's super-chubby, and then it seems like he'll slim down a bit- but really I think he's just getting longer/taller.

So these pictures are just random cute shots, taken either on Shaw or at home. We have caught him doing some funny things now and then. One of which is the "fist/hand-along-the-side-of-the-face" move... he let it sit there for so long--- I shot a lot more pictures than I posted...

Maddox LOVES the bath! We have to use distraction techniques to get him out of the tub without tears... he and his rubber ducky are pretty tight.

He continues to be one of the happiest babies I've ever known.

>>>Mom: I regret to inform you that the adorable plaid overalls with the giraffe only got two days of use. It was too big, and too big, and too big... and then... too small... but I did get pictures of him in it for proof that he wore it...

Happy Easter!

Hi All!

So we are living on Orcas now for the time being while we wait for the next opportunity to rear it's head. We still want to make it to Shaw but it all depends on when the home is available/safe to rent, and when the construction work starts up.

I have a few small cleaning jobs on the horizon as well as some freelance marketing opportunities so we are staying afloat as well as can be expected.

We took some new pictures recently and just wanted to share :)

Cheers!

Easter Pix on Shaw with The Laursen's (our surrogate family)

We ate a SCRUMPTIOUS dinner of Shaw Ham, scalloped potatoes, green beans, strawberry banana jello, rolls, and JELLO SHOTS! Then we went to the beach to run the dogs and walk off some of our dinner. Laurie made our family an Easter basket BY HAND! It's so cute! It has pastel Easter colors and it is something we will keep forever for Maddox's FIRST Easter basket :) Very special! Thanks Laurie and Del for having us! We had a blast :)













Maddox loves to play with his toys and discover anything he can get his hands on. He loves his Daddy very, very much and we have found a "sweet spot" right by his ribs... we can get a gut chuckle out of him almost every time by eating on some baby ribs!!!!













I don't know what the whole deal is with the hand and/or fist along side the face bit- but it's Maddox's new "pose". He will sit there for quite awhile with either his hand or his fist along the side of his face. It's pretty cute....
