11 Months - Loosin' My Rolls!

Right before our very eyes our little rolly polly baby is becoming a little boy. Maddox is going to be 11 months on Monday. He still hasn't gained any weight in 3 months, but he's definitely getting taller and slimming out.
People keep laughing at me when I say he's getting skinny, but remember Michilin Man? He doesn't look like that anymore.
Maddox absolutely loves taking baths still and is becoming quite intrigued with the shower. "Look I turned it on all by myself!"
Here it is! Home sweet home! Well, it's just a hole right now, but it's in the works. Our new house is 4 months away from being complete and not soon enough!

Maddox has become such a talker! He says so many new words every day. He still loves to say hi to people, but now is saying so much more. Our new favorites: Bu-Bye, Bumpa (grandpa), Mumpa (grandma), Daddy, Hot Dog (No idea, but Corey got him to say it multiple times on the train yesterday), Hello, Uh-Oh, Ball, Mine (kind of annoying already), and so much more. His language skills seem to be taking off. He also loves to do animal sounds. The only two that have been consistent are Bah (sheep) and Moo (cow). We're working on Monkeys, Dogs, Kitties, and more. He's also becoming quite the busy body. He loves to "work" on everything around the house.
He loves to stand! No steps officially yet, but great at independent standing.
Look, he can even do it while holding a pen!
And eating it of course.
He loves to go through drawers full of stuff too. Oh, and his new favorite discovered in Chicago was that he can unscrew things (lip gloss, mascara, etc). We were at the Big Bar in the Hyatt and he was playing with Grandma Michelle's lip gloss and we looked down and he was about to put it on. He had unscrewed it all by himself. We thought it was a fluke, but after we tightly screwed it back together a few seconds later he unscrewed it again!
Oh, I almost forgot my new favorite. Maddox loves to give hugs! He snuggles right into your neck and it's just SO sweet! Sometimes he'll even give kissies!
Our little man is growing up. I can't believe that in one more month we'll be having his 1st birthday party! Aaaaahhhh! Where did the time go? We just got back from 5 days in Chicago, so I will start to work on that post. Stay tuned.....

time does fly, doesn't it? the day I realized logan was no longer a baby but instead a little boy, I got tears in my eyes. its the point you long to have another baby. but then he started fighting with his big sister and that ended that moment.

Maddox is getting so big and logan will look forward to playing with Rowan and Maddox at the holidays.

Heidi!! I can't believe how "old" he is looking-- just in the past couple months- he's looking like a little man. How cute! And when he stands up you can totally see his little rolls vanishing before your eyes-- he's slimming out for sure!

And WOW-- first birthday already next month! Time DOES fly by!
