THE NOSE

So,... Maddux now has a fascination with shoving things in his nose. Every time he eats he HAS to shove the food in the nose. So...tonight I turned away for a second and then he started crying. I checked his nose and saw nothing...okay? So I'm playing with him and I thought I saw it! Skyler and I pinned him down but with no avail. Nothing. It was bath time and then play time with Daddy....and then! He was laughing and out popped the food! A piece of freeze dried apple. Anyone know these? From Parent's Choice? Perfect nostril size...so I have found.

Here's a lovely picture. Skyler can't look at it, but it's not that gross...

HE'S SUCH A MAN NOW!

It's crazy how much he has grown! April first = 18 months = NURSERY! Holy cow, time has flown by! This semester is taking forever! We are close though, to graduation. Poor Maddux, he has hardly had parents with us both in school. I'll be so glad when this is over...but hey! I stuck with it! I am getting a degree! I DID NOT give up! It may not be the coolest degree, but it's a degree!

CAN YOU BELIEVE HOW OLD HE LOOKS?! WHERE IS MY BABY?

HE FOUND THIS TOY BUCKET AND LOVES TO WEAR IT EVERYWHERE! AND PUT IT ON EVERYONE..ESPECIALLY DADDY!

HE LOVES TO FIND HIS DADDY'S HATS AND WEAR THEM AROUND THE HOUSE. HE HAS FOUND A KNACK FOR COLORING AS WELL. HE HASN'T FOUND THE WALLS YET, KNOCK ON WOOD!

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."
