We're back from our 9 day vacation in PA and are happy to report that Maddox handled the road trip, new faces, and new surroundings like a pro! We had an amazing time with both sets of great-grandparents and loved being able to see aunts, uncles, and cousins. While we were away, Maddox learned a some new skills (and I'm shocked at how quickly he is changing and growing). He's now scooting/semi-army crawling but can only go backwards. He also is getting up on his hands and knees and rocking back and forth (like he's ready to take off). It's only a matter of time before he is really moving! I got tickled at him yesterday morning because he scooted himself halfway across my bedroom floor and then got upset because he couldn't get to any of his toys...I guess you had to be there but it was really cute. Also, he's learned how to feed himself finger foods (which is a pretty big developmental milestone). He's mainly feeding himself puffs at home but is learning to eat all kinds of new food at daycare (where they have a kitchen that makes breakfast/lunch/snack/etc). Daycare asked if it was okay to start letting him eat "real" food so this morning, he's having french toast sticks and pears for breakfast (of course they cut it up into really small pieces). Yesterday for lunch, he had some bread, peaches, and cheese. Our little baby is quickly turning into a little BOY!
This Saturday is Maddox's first swim lesson. We're excited to see how he likes the water (he loves bath time) and I'm looking forward to having a scheduled activity that we can do together. Brandon and I will probably alternate weeks so that we both get to experience this with him. Of course, the other one will be there taking pictures/video!
I'll add some pictures from our trip later this week.
