Week 2

This week started with Maddox's first outing. He even wore shoes for the first time. We went to Ihop with Nana for breakfast and then made a quick stop by the tattoo shop to see Daddy. Jay has been talking about getting this tattoo since before we were even married. He has been so excited. We took Maddox's hand prints at 6 days old and now they are inked in Jay's skin forever. It will be so neat put Maddox's hands up to it as he grows up. You can't see it in the picture but Maddox's tattoo is right next to the tattoo of my initials so now Jay has his whole little family right there on his right arm.

Taking a little cat nap with Aunt Ehryn. He doesn't know it yet but while he is laying on her belly he is getting to know his future best friend, Baby Cartwright.

Maddox had his first trip to church with the entire Beaumont clan.

Here is a side by side pick of Maddox at just over 1 week old and a pic of my 3-D ultrasound at 28 weeks pregnant It it completely amazing how similar they are.

Monday was a pretty tough day for me. Jay went back to work and it was the first day I was completely by myself with Maddox. There is nothing like 10 hours without him to show me just how much Jay helps with Maddox. He is such an amazing dad and he was very, very missed. By the end of the day I was so happy to see Jay, I was in tears. I probably should have asked someone to come over for a couple hours or something instead of just going cold turkey, especially with post pregnant/delivery hormones, but I think I got the hang of things by mid week.

Family night at the Beaumonts, sharing swing time with Sam.

This is Maddox's and Jay's favorite way to nap. My boys...aren't they adorable?

Maddox's official 2 week old pics.

After seeing how much Maddox seemed to like the swing at Grammy's house, the 3 of us headed to Babies R Us to get one for our house. Sometimes he loves it, sometimes he hates it.
