Because I know I'll forget...
I plan on uploading some pics and blogging later today or tomorrow but because I know I'll forget, I wanted to share a milestone! Maddox has been "pulling up" over the last day or two. Brandon has spotted it both times and I think I'm in shock. He's growing WAY too fast and I want to put a brick on his head to slow him down a little bit!

It's official...
...I've become a blog slacker. Sorry for the lack of updates. To say that we've been busy is a huge understatement! We have plans every single weekend from now until July (true story) and just thinking about that makes me a little crazy (crazier?!?!). Let's see, what have we been up to since my last update?
*Bought a new mommymobile! The Passat just wasn't cutting it anymore...LOVED the car but desperately needed more room. After a lot of research, test drives, and good ol' fashioned dealership bargaining, I traded in the Passat for a 2011 Honda Pilot. I absolutely love it! Our next road trip will be much more comfortable and roomy.
*Sophia Jane Sexton was born! Our good friends, Dave & Abby, welcomed their sweet baby girl Sophia into the world on May 8th. She's darling & we are so happy for them.
*Relay for Life- All of the planning & fundraising that we've done in the last few months will pay off tonight at the Relay for Life event. I'm honored to raise money for such an amazing cause and hope that I remember to bring some Kleenex for Bethany's survivor lap around the track. I can't thank you all enough for the support & donations!
*Maddox turned 7 months old. I'm still in shock that 7 months have FLOWN by and that our tiny baby is quickly turning into a little boy more and more every day. To say that I'm completely and overwhelmingly head over heels for this little guy is a severe understatement. He's on the move and now that he's figured out that he can "crawl," he doesn't sit still for long. Our efforts at teaching him sign language are starting to show and now he'll start wildly signing "milk" as soon as he sees a bottle heading his way. I took me a little while to catch on to what he was doing (I guess I never really thought that he'd sign back! haha) but his teacher at daycare pointed it out one day. I can't wait for him to start making other signs. Smart little guy! He's also sleeping really well (which does wonders for Brandon & I since we are a little more rested these days). He goes to bed around 7:30-8pm and sleeps until about 5:30-6am (sometimes waking once in the night around 3am for a small bottle and diaper change). He's proving to be a good eater too and has been eating all kinds of new food at daycare and home. He still gets 4 bottles a day but is eating 3 meals of "solids."
*My first Mother's Day was great. Maddox (with the help of his daddy) took me out to breakfast and surprised me with a weekend trip for the three of us to the beach. We have a couple of other vacations coming up in the next couple of months so this beach trip will happen at the end of August.
I have some new pictures to post (swim lessons, 7 months, etc) and will try my best to post them in the next few days.
Until then, we hope you all are well!
Love,
C, B, & M
