Maddux is 1 month old

He looks scared in this picture haha but so cute still!

Maddux is already 1 month old as of today and I can't believe it! This month has gone by so fast it is a blur. We didn't go to the doctor at 1 month old we went at 2 weeks and not again until 2 months but as of his two week appointment he weighed 8 lbs and 8 ounces so he is growin' like a weed. I can't wait to find out how much he weighs at his next appointment. He still seems so small to me but he is a dense kid. He is pretty skinny but is just starting to get a little chunk on his thighs and cheeks and even starting to get a double chin, its so cute!

Isn't that face just adorable. I can kiss it all day long :)

A couple of things that are goin' on at 1 month old

*He is a major grunter. He doesn't cry that much but he loves to grunt to let us know what is goin on.
*He sneezes a lot just like his daddy and always in doubles
*Maddux loves to stretch. It is so cute to watch him stretch he arches his back and doesn't hold back at all. He loves it!
*Maddux likes to be around people. If it is time for bed but people are around he wants to be out with us.
*Maddux loves his bouncer and his swing. Sometimes the only way he will sleep is if we put him in the swing first. He is so spoiled :)
*He has tiny feet and I love to kiss his little toes
*He likes to scratch himself even when he has short nails because he loves his hands by his face so he is still wearing the mittens.
*He is starting to stay awake a little bit more during the day
*Maddux is a good sleeper most of the time
*When he cries it sounds like a little puppy whimpering :(
*He is becoming a really good eater and as of a few days ago he is now breastfeeding without the shield! Yay I am so excited that is done with.
*He loves to look around. His eyes are always wide open and he always looks surprised.
*Maddux also has very expressive eyebrows and he likes to scowl.
*He still fits into newborn clothes
*Maddux loves to cuddle with daddy and daddy loves it too. As long as maddux is cuddling with daddy his fussiness goes away and most of the time falls asleep
*Maddux has the cutest little smile but we haven't caught it on camera yet
*He likes to sleep in his crib
*He used to like the swaddle but now he just likes blankets
*He used to like the car and it would even put him to sleep but he doesn't like it so much anymore unless he is already sleeping.
*Maddux is not shy about his toots he is one loud little tooter
*Maddux is also a loud eater sometimes haha it is so funny. Little piggy!
*He loves his binky
*He turns to me when someone else is holding him and I talk to him. It is so cute that he already knows my voice.
*Maddux has the strongest neck from the day he was born he has loved to lift him head up and look at you.
*He loves walks. And I wish it would stop being so windy outside so we could go on more.
*He always falls asleep in the cart at the store without fail haha its nice for mommy and daddy to get their shopping done.
*When his arms are out he will hold his little binky while it is in his mouth
*He is a little wiggler and loves to kick his legs
*He doesn't like his diaper changed. He had his first poop explosion up the back the other day and that was no fun. He has also peed on mommy and daddy a few times.
*He has long pretty eyelashes
*He looks like daddy but has mommy chin
*He has a good amount of hair and I just love it
*Maddux likes to fall asleep at restaurants. He will be fussy in the car and as soon as we get in to eat he zonks out
*Maddux is now in size 1 diapers but they are a little bog on him still. He still fits into newborns but we didn't want to buy anymore if he fit into the 1s because we already had some.
*Last but not least Maddux loves bath time and if we give him a bath right before bed he will sleep for 6 hours after it is awesome.
*He is the sweetest little spirit and we love to have him in our home. He brings so much to our family and mommy and daddy love him so much.
I had to put this one on here. Poor little guy was hungry and Toby was attaching him haha
