Third Week With Maddox!

Well, the third week with Maddox has been an exhausting time, but a blast. He's just adorable still, but at times can be quite fussy, especially in the evenings.

Maddox usually has his "Fussy Time" in the early evening and into the night. We have been trying all the different tips and tricks to calm him down, but only last night did we put him in his car seat and swung it back and forth did we really get somewhere. It took him about five minutes to fall asleep, and he was out for about three hours. Needless to say it was a nice break especially for Heidi to take a little nap before the events of the night to take over.

Don't get me wrong, he does have his nice alert times and his sweet nap times where he seems to enjoy sleeping next to either mommy or daddy.

Heidi's nursing pals stopped by on Saturday to hang out and talk baby talk. They also gathered around the t.v. to watch the birth video (again) I really really enjoyed the birth the first time, but I, like I'm sure many others, don't find that sort of thing afternoon entertainment. Must be a nursing thing. Anyway, they had a good time and Amy let Heidi and I take a much needed afternoon nap while she held down the fort for a few hours.

Three weeks down and everything is still going really well. Like all parents go through, there are definitely times of frustration, but all the other times easily outweigh all of that. Like when he slips in a little smile, or the way he looks when he is sleeping, or my favorite is his naturally spikey hair. Maddox has been a great edtion to our family and every day brings more and more changes.
