Thankful Thursday

So I've decided to try and do Thankful Thursday with Andrea (Kolby's cousin), it's a great idea to think about and recognize what is right in my life rather than what's not...so for the first Thankful Thursday, I'll thank Andrea for calling me and sending a binky clip for Maddax. She makes them and they are adorable, it has a football clip with his name on it. You can get them at www.sweetbabybeads.com.

Today I'm really most thankful for my family. I'm loving being home with my sweet kids, and I dread the day my maternity leave is over, but I'm soaking it all in and am truly blessed to have such a sweet little family.

1 month

I can't believe Maddax is a month old already! He is still so tiny and I feel like we are just getting to know this sweet little boy. He is a great baby, we are so blessed to have him in our family!

(He is SO wiggly, it is hard to get a single picture of him that isn't blurry!!!)

Update...

I guess it's been a while! Time flies when you are having fun, or at least that's what I'm told. This last weekend we decided to spend some time as a family and we went to St. George, but before going we ventured downtown and visited the planetarium, did some shopping and went to Build a Bear. Here is Hannah with her bear that she named "Sammy."
We also built a bear for Maddax and I'm going to have his picture taken with the bear with them both in the same outfit, we'll see how it turns out.
In St. George Hannah loved swimming! Maddax hung out in the stroller, and I "forgot" my swimsuit so I supervised :)



Of course during our shopping Hannah found the little machines in the mall that she rides every single time she sees them, she never gets tired of that ice cream machine moving forward, backward, forward, backward...best 50 cents I ever spend!

Baby Wipes

Do you know what a great deal you are getting when you buy ordinary baby wipes? Let me just tell you!
They are great for when your son's diaper leaks all over the side of you at 6am. They are even better for when he projectile vomits all over the other side of you 20 minutes later. But wait, that's not all! Although they are of course great for diaper changes (the 20 or so that you do in a day...), they are even better for when the little boy pees while you are grabbing a clean diaper and the pee squirts all over the wall, carpet and nearby changing items. Finally, when you decide the little one has been coated enough in body fluids and you decide to bathe him, the wipes once again come in handy after he poops in the bath towel after you've just given him a very nice bath in the kitchen sink. So next time you see baby wipes for sale in the grocery store, just know that whatever you pay for them, they are worth EVERY penny--after all, they're not just for changing diapers!!

(Maddax after finally getting clean and ready for bed, even if it ended in another baby wipe bath!)
