Maddox's class had an Easter Egg hunt the week of Easter. He had a blast! The two moms that hosted really went out of their way to have fun activities for the kids!
BLACK EYES! Maddox was at school and was running (imagine that) into his room from the playground. He tripped at the door and slammed his face into the table in his classroom. We are so fortunate that he didn't hurt his actual eye! It looked great for his Easter pictures the next week!!!
Stephen and I had the opportunity to go last week and see BG2 in 4D real time! We had this opportunity with Maddox and it was incredible! Again....I was in awe! It is so amazing to me.... not only seeing my baby in real time but at all the moving around he does in there. BG2 really doesn't like to have his picture taken so we didn't get to get too many. He tried to shove both hands in his mouth at the same time, yawned many times (he already knows his parents are boring!), opened his eyes, and at one time stuck his tongue out! We've looked at Maddox's 4D pics and see some similarities (big lips.. which maddox doesn't have now), but not too many... so we'll see!
I a couple of days later for my "real" doctors appointment. At this appointment I had an ultrasound done so they could measure BG2 and make sure everything is growing right, check fluid levels, etc. PRAISE GOD.... he looks great!!!! I turned 28 weeks on the day of the appointment and he is already weighing in at a solid 3lb. 1oz. (+/- a quarter of a pound)! Basically... he's measuring a little big for where I am in pregnancy so I think I'm growing a monster! As my dear friend Britt told me today, he has to be big to keep up/defend himself with Maddox! I've pretty much hurt (muscular, joint, etc) through this entire pregnancy. So... I was thinking he might be a little big! I'm already so ready for him to be here!!!
Maddox goes through phases of wanting to hold Maddie all the time...basically treat her as a baby. Then it will quickly change and he is chasing her around the house...tormenting her! I captured the picture on one of his "loving" days. I found him sitting in his playroom holding her while she slept. It was very sweet!
We celebrated Maddox's 3rd birthday on February 26th at the Courthouse Jump Zone! It's a big room with lots of inflatables (jumps, slides, climbing walls, etc). Maddox was lucky to have a lot of friends there to help him celebrate! I think fun was had by all!
A little background: a friend of ours, who has a son Maddox's age, just gave birth to triplet girls.
Maddox: "Mommy, I want two babies."
Mommy: "You want two babies?!?"
Maddox: "Yes! I want two babies like Jake got."
Mommy: "Well, honey, I'm so sorry, but you're only getting one!"
our sweet baby boy was born!
To celebrate Maddox's 3rd birthday his Gram, BB, & Grin came over for lunch, cake, & present opening. The Ainsworth's joined us for cake as well and stayed to play with some of Maddox's new games!
Well... the FLU struck our house & Maddox had it the worst. It was a long SEVEN days! By day 5 we were stir crazy and I was willing to do anything to get him out of the house. Even if it meant letting him go outside in the rain dressed in his PJ's, raincoat, hat, & rain boots!!!! I was desperate!
Our dear friends from Augusta, the Gregg's, were in Hattiesburg for "vacation" and made a day trip to Jackson for a visit. It was great to see them and catch up! We can't wait for 2011 when they are in Hattiesburg permanently!!!
One of Maddox's favorite places to eat lunch is "Chicker-Lay"! The other night we were in the den playing with some of his cars when he began to line them up in a perfect single file line, all heading the same direction . He then proceeds to shout, "Look, it's the line at Chicker-Lay!". Do you think we've been there a lot during lunch hour traffic?????
