Week 5

Maddox had his one month doctor appointment this week. It is so hard to believe that he is already one month old. It feels like just last week I was pregnant. Everyone always says "they grow up so fast" and they are not kidding. He weighed in at 10.2 pounds, 60th percentile and 22.25 inches long, 74th percentile. His head circumference was 14.25 inches which only puts him in the 12th percentile, so basically we have a big baby with a little head. I think his head is just perfect though. The worst part of this appointment was that Maddox's skin had re-attached itself from where he was circumcised and they had to pull it back which made it bleed quite a bit, and then the doctor didn't even finish it. It was horrible, he screamed in pain. She told us to pull the rest back the next day. Needless to say we were back at the doctor 3 days later because we were not sure we had gotten it all and wanted them to finish what they started. We had our roughest couple of days with Maddox so far. There were 2 days and nights in a row where he was not a happy camper at all. He fussed and fussed and cried and cried. We think he had an upset stomach, I felt so helpless, it seemed like there was nothing I could do to make him feel better. Its the worse feeling in the world. We are still not sure what caused it, but just in case I can't eat my favorite Skyline or Gold Star chili for awhile.



Maddox got to meet his cousin Lucas this week. Lucas was sooo cute. He kept touching his face and his hands and trying to say his name. He had it pretty close. He also kept asking to hold him so we kinda propped Maddox up on Lucas' lap and that seemed to make Lucas very proud.

Here are some of my favorite pics from the week. I also just realized that I must have had the date set wrong on my camera cause they all say 2009. I am pretty upset about it, now the first 1000 or so pictures of Maddox all have the wrong date.
