Maddox's 2 month check-up











Maddox had his check-up today. Doctor was very surprised at how much he's grown and how well he's doing. He's staying on his dose of 2x a day for his medicine, but it's working, so we're very happy.
He was 11 lbs. 3 1/2 oz. and 23 1/2 inches. he's in the 50 percentile for his weight and he's in the 75th percentile for his height. He's doing great.




He had 2 shots and he had medicine by mouth as well. All-in-all, he's one very healthy little boy and we couldn't be more blessed. here are some pics of him at 2 months!!

A few new updates




Well, I can officially say that for about the last 3 weeks Maddox has slept no less than 7 hours each night. The last 2 nights I got a straight 9 hours....I am so thankful at least my 8 week old will sleep through the night. Carson is still having trouble sleeping through the night in his own bed. At least he's staying in his bed though :)
Maddox goes on Monday for his 2 month check-up and shots (the 16th) and then we go for pictures Monday night, so we will have lots of good pics to show (depending on how they act for me).
Maddox did roll over from his front to his back at 7 weeks old. He's very strong. We have upped his dose again to 2x a day on zantac since we tried the 1x a day and he still got sick. this is working too well I think. He's growing larger and larger. I am anxiuos to see how big he is. The lady at the restaurant we frequent weekly said we must be feeding him biscuits and gravy. he's getting that big weekly! So, more to come, but this is about it for now.
Carson is really in love with Maddox. He's a big help. I go back to work in 3 weeks...ugh. It's going to be a huge adjustment getting the kids up and ready and out to work in west chester by 8 AM. Whew. I'm tired thinking about it. And then to think it will be dark by the time I get home at night too.....yuck. Anyway, that's about it. We will keep you updated!!

trick or treat
















The boys had a great time trick-or-treating this year. Carson was a "peaceman" (policeman) and Maddox was a bumble bee. Carson wore his outfit out a month before halloween. I am hoping we can retire this outfit now that halloween is over.
We had a great time with the family though and Carson loves all his candy! Here are a few pics to view.
