Some of My Tricks

I wanted to do a post dedicated to all of the things that Maddox is doing lately. I am not good about keeping up with this and I know there will come a day when I won't remember exactly what he was doing at 7 1/2 months old. So, for those of you interested, here goes...

-He weighs at least 20 pounds... a big boy! We have not had an official weight check though since 6 months where he was 18lb. 9oz.

-Wearing 12 month clothes (still SOME 9 month) and size 4 diapers.

-Knows the difference in familiar people and "strangers"... he gets his feelings hurt pretty badly if a stranger looks at him too long or catches him off guard!

-Naps are still anybody's guess... taking 2-3 a day that range from 30 minutes to 2 hours. You never know!

-Sleeps really well at night. We put him down at 8:00 and he'll sleep until about 6:30 or 7:00. Glorious!!

-Loves taking stroller rides. If we walk by his stroller in the house, he'll pull towards it and sometimes cry if we don't take him for a ride.

-Is completely intrigued with his Praise Baby DVD. If nothing else works, this will do the trick! Definitely gonna need more to add to the collection soon.

-Knows the sound the door makes when Daniel comes in in the afternoons... he will almost break his neck to see him... very very sweet!!

-Is becoming more of a snuggle baby, which I love!

-Not crawling yet, but can still somehow get just about anywhere. I never actually see him moving, but somehow it happens.

-Gets so excited when he sees a cell phone, remote, or computer that I think he might hyperventilate.

-Still spits up a lot, but it has definitely gotten better.

Lastly, here are a few recent pictures of the little guy...
