One Month!

Well our "little" Maddux turned one month old today!!! He continues to grow by leaps and bounds - when we went to the Well Baby Clinic on Wednesday (he was 4 weeks old) he was up to 11 lbs 4 oz and 23 inches long already! So he's gaining about a pound per week and growing about an inch per week!

Here are some pictures from the past week:

Finley holding Maddux:

Maddux holding onto a ring on his bouncy seat (I may have helped him by putting his hand on there but he held on on his own for quite awhile!)

Our little monkey monkeying around in his monkey outfit in his monkey pack and play :)

OK the swing isn't so bad at first...

After about 20 seconds - I HATE THE SWING! GET ME OUT OF THIS THING NOW!!

Maddux and Daddy taking a nap together:

Maddux noticing his mobile in his crib for the first time:

Mommy had to sneak the "I love Mom" outift on!

Maddux likes to help hold the bottle - I think in case he can get at the milk faster!

Maddux in the "Little Slugger" outfit that his uncle Tom wore when he was a baby for photos - as you can see Maddux barely fits into it!

A close up of those chubby cheeks:

Maddux with Tom:

Maddux with Auntie Val and cousins Sydney and Payton - they came and spent all of Tuesday afternoon with us this week!

Maddux will start off laying straight and somehow always wiggles his way into this position:

Maddux also noticed his little puppy rattle blankey when I was changing him the other night - and was quite fascinated with it!

Jerz had to get in on the snuggle action with Mom and Maddux!

We are going in for some formal pictures at Sears this afternoon. We also have Maddux's baptism on Sunday this weekend - so a big weekend to look forward to!

Have a great weekend everyone!
