Splish Splash





Maddox had his first bath Wednesday night. As you can see from the pictures he was not that fond of it. In fact, he screamed the whole way through. The good thing was he did wear himself out so he slept really well that night. Hopefully as he gets a little older he will come to enjoy bath time, until then mom and dad will just have to listen to him scream through it. We do not enjoy that.
Last night was our first really rough night. Maddox did not go to sleep until 11pm. For some reason he was wide awake and fussy. We tried gas medicine, rocking, nursing, the paci but nothing worked. Finally Jamie decided to get up and walk with him, worked like a charm. He slept for a couple hours and then we were at it again. We got him back to sleep then he conviently wakes up 30mins before the alarm is going to go off. Funny how he has that timed so well. Hopefully tonight we will have a better night. All we have to say is thank goodness for "paci." At first we were not fond of the hospital giving him one of these, but it has saved our sanity a few times.
Thankfully tomorrow is Saturday so we can all catch up on some lost zzz's.
Jamie and Maddox are getting out and about a lot more now. He really likes car rides so getting out is easy. He is getting to meet all of our friends. We just love showing him off too! Today we had a lunch date with our friends Michelle and Chris. They have a little boy who is a month older than Maddox. It was fun to visit with them and share baby stories!
We are still adjusting to the newness of this little one. Learning his cries and trying to console him when he is crying has proved to be the most challenging aspect of it all. The sleepless nights run a close second. We are beginning to discipher this baby language, but it is taking some time.
We are excited about the weekend because we get to hang out as a family. Hopefully we'll get some rest and some housework done, and of course hang out with the cutest baby in the world!
Have a great weekend!
Love y'all!
