Maddox 2.5

Our little buddy turned 2 1/2 just after Christmas so I thought I would post an update about what he is up to!!  He is such a sweet boy.  He talks non stop and says some of the funniest things now.  He knows how to make us laugh and also how to frustrate us to no end!  He can throw a mean temper tantrum but can also be so sweet and cuddly!  He loves on and plays with his sister and also hits and pushes her over. He has a silly personality and the sweetest little smile!  If is he awake he is moving non-stop!  

He is doing great with is potty training.  We did have a little set back after coming home from Texas but have gotten back in our routine and he is back on track.  He has become a pretty picky eater lately which is frustrating but I know the is pretty common with kids.  Some of his favorite things right now are trains, playing cars, watching cartoons (particularly Mickey Mouse, Dora, Thomas, Cars and Toy Story), and he loves playing on our iPads and his Leap Pad. He is a great sleeper and usually goes to bed around 8 pm and wakes up between 6-7 (selfishly I do wish he would sleep in a little more :D) and he also takes an 1 1/2 - 2 hour nap every day.  He still goes to Thursday school each week and loves it!  I don't know how much he weights or how tall he is right now but he is definitely growing!  He is in size 3T clothes and size 8 shoes. 

We do have to take him to the doctor next week to have him checked out since he got croup so many times last year. I think he had it 4-5 times and the last 3 times he required steroids because his airway closed up causing him to have breathing problems called stridor.  His doctor said she will check him out and most likely will have us do breathing treatments with steroids through the winter months to hopefully help prevent him from getting it so often!  So we will probably leave the pediatrician's office next Tuesday with a new nebulizer for him.  I just hope I can get him to sit still long enough to do the treatments lol and hopefully that helps because croup is no fun and sometime pretty scary when his breathing get really bad.  

He is such a joy and we are so thankful God chose us to be his mommy and daddy.  We can't imagine life without our sweet little buddy and look forward to continuing to watch him grow!!  Here are a few pics of him we had taken with Collin's family.  He is such a little cute pie!! :D


I love this picture of the 2 of us.  His face is just so sweet and innocent!

I also love this picture of him and Collin!!  Such a classic daddy/son picture!!

That precious little face just melts my heart!!
