Baby Does Not Have Enough Toys
Saturday, January 23rd, 2010Our Baby is Loved
Sunday, August 30th, 2009Today, I realized just how much our baby is loved.
Maddox went down for a nap around 10 this morning. It was good, because it gave me a chance to clean up the loft and vacuum up all the kitty litter that the cats have been strewing about in silent protest because they don’t get as much attention anymore. Jon was working on his computer, using technology to A) learn new things B) make us money or C) save the world. (He does this all the time.)
Around 11, Maddox woke up. Jon and I both got up. Then, we raced each other down the hall to Mads’ room because we missed the baby.
When it’s only been an hour, and you miss someone like crazy, you know it’s got to be love. Or obsession. Either way, Maddox is pretty much the center of our world.
Here he is playing with his new dangling teething toys – he is getting so great at grabbing things, which is cute when it’s a toy, and vastly entertaining (to me) when it’s Jon’s nose.
Back From Vacation
Tuesday, August 11th, 2009While we were on vacation, Maddox learned how to drive:
Here he is enjoying a good book after a long day:
He’s also getting better with coordinating his limbs – he can grasp objects now, and is starting to use his hands to push or pull things. Here he is with his ankles crossed, staring at some questionable wall art:
And here we are, back at home, with Maddox’s new favorite toy. We weren’t sure what the heck it was at first, but eventually, we figured out that it was a frog. Mads doesn’t care – it rattles, squeaks, crackles and he can grab its feet. To ask for more would be just plain ridiculous.
When he was playing with his froggie with Auntie Cass, Maddox laughed for the first time. It was so wonderful to hear. I didn’t get the giggle in the video, but there are lots of smiles. =)
