3 Months!

Well, I'm a little behind, but life has been quite hectic lately. My grandma had a stroke last weekend and passed away on Monday, so it's been quite crazy. I will be putting a "Great Grandma Barb" post up soon. Our little guy is now 3 months old (last Wednesday actually). He's just loving to stand and sit now, but his chubby legs can only hold him so long. He just gets so excited about it though, so we spend a lot of time helping him. Maddox hung out with Grandma & Grandpa a lot over the past weekend because it was the annual Alumni Tournaments in our hometown. Corey's basketball team took first place and my volleyball team took first too. It was a blast.
Grandpa is already convinced that Maddox can say "Grandpa", but we're all quite skeptical. Maddox thinks this idea is quite hilarious.
He's pretty good at sitting now. Corey thinks he's just leaning on his chub most of the time, but it's quite adorable. Here's a nice shot of him watching tennis.
Maddox just loves to play with his grandpa. Grandma & Grandpa were nice enough to watch Maddox on Saturday night, so Corey & I could go out with all of our high school friends.
He took two bottles of breast milk from Grandma like a pro and even got to take a bath (they're his favorite). When we got home we found Grandma and Maddox sleeping in our bed together. It was so cute!
Maddox still just loves bath time. We had to convert his tub to the second stage (sitting) because we just read that it should only be like a hammock until they are 10 lbs. We are definitely passed that, so here is his first bath sitting.
He's not a huge fan of getting his neck folds cleaned up...
...but he just loves to get his hair washed.
At the end of his bath he decided to share a surprise with us, so we filled the sink to re-wash him a bit. He wasn't exactly done, so he finished up in the sink (see above). Let's just say he was bathed three times that morning...
...but we finally got him squeaky clean.
Maddox is taking after his dad - he loves to take naps on the couch. We're going to have to put a stop to it soon though cause he's becoming quite the squirmer.
Auntie Jenna & Uncle Andy came over last weekend to play a little 500, so Maddox joined in until his bedtime.
He's getting better every day at grabbing his toys. He just loves his teething frog. About a week ago, when Corey was home for the day, Maddox grabbed his frog for the first time and Corey just about flipped. He was just so excited and took about 100 pictures.
He also still enjoys reading his books during tummy time. He's just becoming so fun that I can't imagine having to go back to work yet. I don't want to miss anything! Oh well, he will be in good hands with Corey and Auntie Angie. Okay, I promise not to go so long between posts now.
