maddux man

i thought i would give a quick update on maddux since i took a few pictures.  he currently has six teeth and has just started eating the 'super porriage' that i make.  it took him two days before he realized that it was food and stopped spitting it right back out. 

i think he will be crawling by the end of the month.  he gets up on all fours and rocks a little now, but he seems very motivated to move (read: get into his sister and brother's things).  with the scooting around he can already do with a combo of rolling and pushing backwards, he has already gotten into a few things that he shouldn't.  keeping him out of trouble is going to be a challenge without anywhere else to move things.  we might have to move all of the toys back to madelyn and mason's room instead of the living room.

he can almost get into a sitting position from laying on his stomach.  i say 'almost' because he can't quite sit up on his own for very long yet and if he could he would be (if that even makes sense).  the other two were pretty good at sitting up by this age, but they weren't as tall either and they had a lot more floor time than maddux gets. 

this is his 'man' face.

drool is his constant companion these days.

he is sitting up pretty well and seems to like it.

maddux is still biting me.  today might have been a break through because when i told him "no biting!" he pouted out his lip and looked shocked that i would scold him.  we will see.  i do not enjoy this phase of nursing (but who does?).

his brother and sister still adore him and love that he reaches out for them now.  they aren't crazy about his slobber being everywhere but maybe that will help them remember to put things away.

we sure do love him!  love.
