CHRISTMAS

So we went to Denver for Christmas and it was so nice to get out of the snow. I think there is a hidden secret about Denver that it isn't as cold as people think. The snow doesn't really stay on the ground and some days it's fairly warm for winter. It is completely better than Idaho, so that was a great break.
The biggest event that happened over our vacation was Skyler getting food poisoning. Christmas night he went to bed feeling sick and at 3am he woke up and bolted out of bed and dropped to the floor at the door. Yes, he didn't make it to the toilet but made it up the wall and door and all over the carpet. I scrubbed that floor and walls and held back my own vomit. Eugh, it was so gross. Poor Skyler was throwing up every hour until 2pm. Luckily, by that night he was feeling better and the next day he was back to normal.
So Maddux has discovered he can make noise, so he is always talking to us. occasionally we can get him to laugh, but every time we pull out our phone to record it he stops. And when we put it away...he begins again. Of course.

SHOTS

Maddux got his immunization shots today. That was loads of fun. He actually didn't do too bad. He just screamed like he was yelling at us that it hurt, then he stopped. I didn't even have to try and stop the crying. Unlike the other night. Good ol' dad was playing airplane with Max and he didn't like that much. He hated it so much that he cried for an hour. I think Skyler doesn't think his fear of falling is a joke anymore since the baby got so mad at him.
Last night it was so cute. I put him in his bassinet, which he is finally starting to really sleep in. It was his bouncy chair for a while, but he seems to be liking to lay down to sleep now and not having to HAVE the vibrations just to stay asleep. Anyway, he is SLOWLY learning to how to keep his binki in his mouth, but at a point last night he didn't want it in anymore, so he reached over and took it out of his mouth and just held it in his hand as he fell asleep. He's growing up! Now if only I could get him to consistently suck his two fingers. Then he could calm himself!

JUST MORE PICTURES OF THE BABY!

He's getting so big!

I DID IT!

ok! I cut my hair! We went to California for Thanksgiving and I couldn't stand my hair anymore, so mom cut it for me! it was fun for everyone to see Maddux because he's getting bigger and more alert. I guess that's a good thing, however, I do miss him sleeping all the time which allowed me to get things done. Right now he's in the stage of wanting to be held and I can't leave the room or else he'll cry and freak out. He likes the TV though. He'll sit and watch it with Daddy. I can't wait until toys entertain him. My back is killing me from the little front pack I carry him around in. Here's some pictures from Thanksgiving and such!
