Mr. Maddox had his check up for 1 year. He's getting very big!! He's 30 inches long and is 23 3/4 lbs. He's just above average for his weight and between 50-75% for his height. He has a double ear infection. Great huh? We thought we just got through with the left ear infection a week ago. Sometimes I wish they would just put tubes in this baby. Feel like he's always getting medicine for these ear infections. Poor baby hasn't slept well in months seems like.
He checked out very well. He's walking all over the place and he's talking a whole lot. He says, "baba, bub bub(Carson), dada, mama, aunt bev" He likes to just hear his voice.
Carson is doing well too. He's a typical mouthy 3 year old. He will tell you how he wants everything and it BETTER be done his way. He's a lot of work right now. Haha.
Everything is going well here. We are so ready for the fall to go to some pumpkin festivals and partake in some of the activities.

Oh my......
The amoxicillin didn't work on Carson, so on day 8, they put him on zithromax. THis morning would have been day 3 on this medicine. Carson started yesterday with what I thought was some small bug bites on his legs/arms.
THis morning when he got up, he had a full out rash/bumps all over his entire body. He was even itching his head and ears.
Took him to the doctor. I truly thought it was chicken pox, etc. and this fabulous medicine, zithromax, caused hives and he now has to take zyrtec and benadryl for 7-10 days. Nothing like taking meds for about a full month. Geesh.
I just feel so bad for him. He's so itchy and he's been such a trooper. Will keep you posted.

All kinds of illness!!
Well, allergies got the best of Carson. He's got a sinus infection now and is on amoxicillin.
Last night, Maddox didnt' go to sleep (yes, I said didn't fall asleep) until 5 AM, which made for a long night of fussy, screaming, etc. We got him in this morning to the doctor and he's got a left ear infection and is back on zantac 2x a day again. He's still having a lot of trouble sleeping through the night. I might get 3 hours max at a time with him sleeping at night. She said he has severe acid reflux, which we knew, but I suppose he's not grown out of it, which they normaly do by 9 months.
SO, needless to say, everyone here is on amoxicillin (kids wise) and we're going on not much sleep. Let's just pray the next few nights will get better wtih the kids once the medicines all kick in.

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.
