Maddux turned 6 months this past week. It is so hard to believe it has been 6 months since this little (big) guy came into our lives. He is such a good baby, with a lot of smiles and giggles to share. We took him for his 6 month well check today and he weighed in at 19 lbs even. I thought for sure he was over 20, but he surprised us! 19 lbs is apparently only the 75th percentile for weight, which fits proportionately with his 27.5 inch long body, also 75th percentile. His head on the other hand is in the 90th percentile still, but we just attribute that to his big and growing brain!
Maddux is rolling to get everywhere, though he has done some reaching and moving forward recently. His sisters are working to keep their little toys out of reach, as well as anything they don't want in his mouth. He is not eating solid foods consistently yet, because the few times we have tried he has not shown much interest in it. We began with oatmeal a couple weeks ago and he projectile vomit two days in a row. We gave him a little break and then tried a green vegetable. Currently, he is not a lover of food, other than Mama's milk which he likes to consume during the night now. He went from sleeping 9 hours a stretch to waking up to eat almost every 3 to 4 hours...UGH!
Below are picture collages of Maddux in the last 6 months. It is amazing to see how much he has grown and how his personality shines. He truly brings smiles to our face every minute of every day. He is a strong boy, that likes to stand on our lap, snuggle in for a hug, sit up for a story, play in his excersaucer, giggle with his sisters, and much more. We are grateful for Maddux each and every day, and so thankful God blessed us with such a wonderful little boy.
