{the malley family}: December 2009

12.13.2009

It has been forever since I have put up a new post. I apologize. So here are some pictures from the last little while.

This is the norm for Daddy and Maddux. Daddy chasing him and watching t.v. together.

Maddux found some marinara sauce when mommy and daddy weren't looking.

On our way to Nate and Chelsea's wedding and to Denver for Thanksgiving, we got to see Claire, Lolli and Ryan down in Provo. Maddux loved Lolli's bus, but was not happy when she decided she wanted it! It was so great to see them and totally due!

Nate and Chelsea Gray's wedding in the Las Vegas temple!

He wouldn't follow us to the car. Nap time= grouchy time!

We had Thanksgiving and then an early Christmas with the Malley side of the Family this year. Grandma gave Maddux a stuffed Eore that he loved! He LOVES My friends Tigger and Pooh and has really started to recognize who the characters are.

Well this is all I have time for at this point. Maddux is waking up, so next time he naps I'll have to try and post more!

MOMENTS WITH MADDUX....

Maddux talks all the time now! But I'm saving these so I can remember them...

Well, Maddux isn't quite talking yet for me to post the funny things he says, but this boy is an "adventurer" Grandpa Donn says. So here are the latest "moments with Maddux."

*The other day Skyler is calling for me to come up from my in-laws basement only to find Maddux standing at the top of the stairs laughing and holding a Dr. Pepper that he cracked open just enough to get some drink out. Apparently Skyler had shoved it into my purse the other night when leaving our friends house, unbeknownst to me, but obviously not the little man.

*I came down stairs because Maddux was being unusually quiet, and I knew he was not napping. I found my purse dumped out with wrappers from "my not-so-secret-anymore" stash of candy all over the floor and him covered in chocolate with two suckers in his hand. To top it off, he had a big smile and his hand out to share with me. ;)

*Two nights ago, after Maddux had his bath I put on his diaper and delayed getting him into his pajamas for whatever reason. About 5 minutes later I find him trying to put on his jacket and light up Spiderman shoes to go outside. It was too cute. I had to let him go out and play.

*Maddux has started trying to get me to pay attention to him, when he is a whining wreck, by falling to the ground and slowly hitting his head on something to show me that he is hurt. He started this in California a couple weeks ago. Friends were over for dinner and he began to throw a fit and he fell down next to a bike helmet. So he stopped crying for a second, scooted over and bonked his head on the helmet and resumed crying. Grandpa Donn says he should take his act to Hollywood!

More with Maddux...

We took a little family trip to Best Buy a couple days ago and while Maddux and I waited for Daddy to be through with The Geek Squad a very tall man walked by in a very long black trench coat. Luckily, he was out of ear shot because Maddux grabbed my hand and says, "Momma, bad guy. Bad guy, Momma." I just had to laugh! And then I told him he was not a bad guy, of course!

Maddux the other day was climbing on something and not listening to me when I told him to get off. So walking by a gave him a little tap on the head and told him to get off again. The boy jumped off and followed me into the kitchen saying,
"Ma! No hit! No hit me!" Totally calling me out! I guess he does listen to me!

I guess Maddux pays a lot of attention to Skyler. While at my in-laws he was playing with some fake little money, handed me some and told me, while pointing to himself, "Go work." Then rubbing his face, "Shave, go work." I asked him if he was going to go shave his face and then go to work like Daddy? "Uh huh."
