OK I have been BAD about updating this blog! But...better late then never, right??
Maddux turned 7 months old on the 17th of January.
Here are some pictures to show what he has been up to in the last couple of weeks...
Being silly - sticking his tongue out and not cooperating with the measurement picture. He's about 30-31 inches long now!!
His favorite toy - at home - is the Exersaucer. He especially likes the toy on there that spins. He's gotten quite skilled at that!!
Having fun in the Exersaucer again!!
Mommy's Little Bear :)
Being a big sister, even as a beagle, is apparently exhausting. Just ask Jerz...
And Bailey...
Quite happy and proud of the fact he's hanging out with Dad on the couch:
Dad teaching him all about the sacred remote!
Our happy little man!!
And so handsome :)
Playing with Mom. His face is orange because he just ate carrots!
Happy to be (almost) naked and playing! 
Looks like a mischeivous smile to me!
Our big boy!!
Mommy better teach him that you KICK the soccer ball, unless you're a goalie!
Praciticing the hand over the heart for the National Anthem before basketball games!!
Gotta work on that shooting form!!
As you can see, Maddux can now sit up on his own - he's been able to do that since he was about 6 months old, a little before Christmas. He can roll either way from back to tummy but has only rolled tummy to back once (at daycare, it must have been a fluke). We work on that every night. His legs are quite strong - so who knows, he may be standing/cruising/walking before he figures out the crawling thing!!
Other than that, he just continues to grow & grow. He LOVES his solids - veggies, fruit and cereal. We've found some "fancy" cereal that works better with his tummy than the other rice cereal did.
He loves to play and "talk" and giggle. He sleeps through the nights most of the time now, or if he does get up it's around 5:00 a.m. We are very grateful for our happy, healthy little boy and can't believe he's already 7 months old!
