So much going on!

Where do I start?
Well, last Monday I quit my job at Equity. Long story, but SO glad I'm not there anymore. I am thoroughly enjoying my time home with my boys!
Carson started soccer up and absolutely loves it. He loves his coach and teammates. He's definately into it. He is pretty good too, if I say so myself. He has a serious power kick.
Our house is for sale, so if you know anyone interested, please send them our way. Our website for the house is: www.1171Muirwood.willsellquick.com we are located near Eastgate Mall!
The reason for selling the house is that Garrett took a position offered to him to move to Columbus and take on opening up a new T.Q.L. up there. He is one of four guys going up to open this office and hopefully to grow to be as big as the one here in Eastgate. He has so many opportunities for advancement up there than here since it's much bigger here.
We are so thrilled for the move, but we will truly miss everyone. We don't need to be up there until January. His job will begin on January 3, so there is time to sell the house.
There is a lot of things going on, but all are bitter sweet!
Maddox will be one year on the 14th of September and Garrett and my 5th anniversary is September 16. There is so much going on in the next month with birthdays, weddings, showers, etc. we are staying busy.

Long Overdue Updates

So sorry I have been lacking on the updates lately.
The boys are doing great. Carson begins his first soccer practice tonight. He's so excited. I will have to post pictures definately afterwards.
Maddox is standing up alone just hasn't ventured to take a step yet. He's trying though.
Carson just won't leave poor Maddox alone. He loves him dearly and just wants to always be with him and around him, etc. but it drives Maddox nuts.
We got a new car in the meantime to accommodate the kiddos. We got the Chevy Traverse and the kids and we LOVE it. It has a dvd player and I have never had a car ride so quiet since we have gotten this car. (other than when Carson starts singing along with the dvd's).
We tried to take Maddox off his zantac for a while. It was working and now again, we are going through him projectiling in the evenings. We have cut him down to one time a day and give to him in the evenings as this is the worst time. I assume because that's when he's laying down and the reflux bothers him when he's lying down.
Carson has pink eye in both eyes that has finally gone away but he had it about 3 weeks ago as well. I'm not sure where he's picking it up but it seems to find the poor guy.
More to come soon.

Maddox 9 month check up!

Maddox had his 9 month check up today. He's sure growing like a weed.
He's 20 lbs. 8 oz. and he's 29 1/2 inches long. He's average for his weight and is 90 % for his height. He's really getting big.
He's eating quite a bit. He will eat anything you will put in front of his face. He will pull up on everything and is crawling all over the place. he says "mum mum, bub bub, dada and bye" he will wave to you as well :)
He and Carson are really starting to bond. they love each other but Carson can get a little rough with him at times. He better watch out Maddox will come right after him :)
Anyways, looks like he and Carson are right along the same chart. Carson at 9 months was: 20 lbs. 3 oz. and was 30 inches. SO, they are just about identical in their measurements. Tall and skinny boys. (just like their mom........HAHA)
That's the latest in the Hughes household :)

LONG overdue updates

Well hello! So we have been a bit busy and I do apologize for being horrible at updating this. It's good that I'm at least keeping up with Shutterfly I suppose.

So, what's been going on? What's NOT been going on??? haha. Maddox is down to taking his medicine one time/day and has been for about a month now, so the acid reflux is getting better. He's taking powder formula instead of ready made now which is working great, and helping the wallet as well :)
He's been crawling for about 3 weeks now and he's already pulling himself up and standing up by holding onto anything he can get his little hands on.
As for Carson, he's doing great. Just mouthy. He will tell you just what he wants when he wants it. He is going to begin soccer in the fall along with preschool, so he's got a lot to look forward to.

The two of them are really enjoying each other. They play pretty well together. Maddox has no fear and just goes right after Carson any chance he can get.

Carson is big into "shishing" aka fishing. He went to camp with his granny and Pappy and thoroughly enjoyed "peeing in the mud and shishing" there. He can be assured his mother and father will not be camping with him, so I'm so glad they take him to do these things.

Maddox has 6 teeth right now and is working on another one as we speak.
We have a lot planned for the summer. We have zoo passes, aquarium passes, and sprinkler park passes, so we're going to have something keeping us busy this summer at all times, which is just how Carson likes it.

The boys are getting so big so fast. Maddox has his check-up, 9 mos, next week, so I will be reporting how that goes. Until then, I might get some pictures on here.

Shriner's Visit

We took Maddox yesterday for his appt. at Shriner's. It was a month since his last visit. We are SO blessed to announce we don't need to go back there. He checked out great. The doctor said she couldn't even find which hand the burn was on. It's amazing to see how his hand looked to where it is now. He's really pulled through.
It's just imperative that we keep at least a 30 sunscreen on him. Any kind of sun to his hand without it will permanently discolor him until his new skin completely comes through. WHen we're outside you can tell where the burns are more than inside. Must be the lighting. Thanks for all the prayers. We're so blessed to have a great report; although I will miss the nurses, docs, etc. from Shriner's. I have never come in contact with such amazing people who truly loved us and Maddox.

Maddox 6 month pics

Maddox's 6 month pictures by Aunt Bit-Bit!!!!!

Maddox is 6 months!

Maddox had his 6 month check-up on the 18th. Whew. Where does the time go? He's getting so big. He's now 16 lbs. 13.6 oz. and is 27 1/4 inches long. He's in the 50% for his weight and 75% for his height. He's still a bit behind in weight I believe because he's not been able to eat much formula.
We have to mix a lot of rice wiht his bottles since he projectiles. He's not allowed to have more than 4 oz. at a time. He's doubled the dose of zantac, and that's helping a lot.
He's eating 2nd foods. He's to eat more foods than formula to supplement becuase he can tolerate the foods, not the formula.
We had a good visit overall.We go back at 9 months.
We're so ready for spring in this house :)
