Week 10

This week was pretty uneventful which is what I prefer. The less we have to do the more quality time I get to spend with Maddox just hanging around the house. Maddox is really starting to respond to people and toys. We have discovered he loves mirrors. He has one in his little lay down and play thing that he just stares and stares at while hitting all the little noise making toys that hang down. It is so cute...he cracks himself up playing with that thing. We have some great videos of it. I am told he also has a mirror at Grammy's that he loves. Maddox and I have our own little swing game that seems to entertain him for a long time as well. I sit in front of him while he is swinging and throw a blanket over him. He immediately starts to wiggle his way out of the blanket. He starts with pulling his hands out and then he kicks and kicks until the blanket falls off. I make sure to make a big happy sound and clap when the blanket falls to the floor an then I just pick it back up and throw it back on him again. He just loves it an it is actually some good exercise for him. He really has to work at it to get the blanket off completely.

Maddox is holding on to things very well now. He seems to get really excited when he realizes that he is holding things in both hands. We still have to put the items in his hands a lot but at least now he realizes that it is him making the noise by jingling the keys or shaking a rattle.
He is also starting to try to hold his bottle while he is eating. Sometimes he gets a good enough grip on it that I can let go and he can feed himself. He is growing up so quick.

We went to my parents house on Sunday. We just hung out outside all day and Maddox had his first ride on a 4-Wheeler. First ride of many I am sure. Daddy took him all around the pond and back. Maddox just looked around at all the different colors and stuff.
