Maddox is no longer a newborn and officially an infant. Wow, six weeks old. We went to the doctor last Friday (yes, I have Thrush and Mastitis again!) and they weighed him. He's an astonishing 13 lbs 9 ounces. He doesn't exactly fit on the growth charts, so let's just say he's doing well. He's become such a calm, sweet baby now that will just sit and hang out, smile like crazy, and cuddle. He's getting more and more predictable and we can tell now more what he needs when he cries. He rolls over from tummy to back a ton. Corey was trying to air out his tushy (he has a little diaper rash), but he kept rolling over. Then Corey looked away to watch football and Maddox gave him a little shower. It was quite hilarious.
Rowan's really starting to enjoy his cousin now. He rubs his cheeks on Maddox's spiky hair and giggles. He loves to cuddle Maddox too, but sometimes he gets a little wild and we have to pull in the reigns.
He wanted to help swing Maddox by pushing all of the buttons. He could hardly reach, but was quite resourceful by getting up on his little tippy toes
Of course, Rowan had to give it a try too.
Maddox is loving the sling more and more. When he gets too hot he just squirms his little head out and lays it on my arm. So sweet!
He just started liking the toys on his bouncy chair. He now smiles and talks to the sparkling birdie. I'm pretty sure that bird is telling him something because he just goes into a trance.
We took Maddox on his first shopping trip last Saturday to the Mall of America. He was so good all day long. We met up with Auntie Jenna and Uncle Andy for a snack, so they got to enjoy the little guy too.
We were stopped by many people who had to check out how cute Maddox was and admire his spiky blonde hair. Two ladies couldn't stop talking and thought he should be in commercials. It was so nice to do a little showing off since we haven't really gone out too much yet.
After the long shopping day, Maddox was quite tired.

love to your family, katie and jeff
I love his fuzzy spikey hair! You should show him off as much as possible!
We had such a fun visit with you guys yesterday. Maddox is a doll, but boy does he tire out my arms! I thought I was strong from carrying around a 1-year old, but 13.5 pounds of infant weight is WAY different than carrying a toddler.
We love you guys!
Angie, Kyle and Rowan (who's been saying shhhhhhhhhh all day!)
LOVE the photos and the weekly updates. I don't know how you find the time! Thanks for showing us all your beautiful Maddox.

What a little chunk! I can't get over his rolling over already, seems very early! Do you have a hair appointment for him yet? Won't be long and his hair will be in his eyes! Thanks for all the darling photos. He and Rowan are already great buddies. See you at Christmas! Love, Val
Oh, they can roll over from tummy to back pretty early because as soon as they can get their heads up high enough they kind of roll over by gravity. I think Rowan rolled over about now too. It's super cute because it seems like it suprises him.
