My Toddler

Maddux is getting so big now! He's been crawling like a pro all over the place. He finally figured out how to crawl on his hands and knees, as opposed to army crawling. He can pull him self up into a standing position on the furniture and walk along the furniture, but he has yet to figure out his balance with standing. No walking just yet. He's beginning to speak now. He took a bath today and spent the whole time showing me his rubber duckies and saying "duck duck" over and over again. He also grabbed his comb and brush and stuck them in his hair. I was very proud! He knows that I call him duck, but he might end up confused about what a duck really is. He went to grandma's for easter this weekend. He got an easter basket full of stuff to blow bubbles, a chocolate bunny, and a floating swimsuit. He apparently said "grass" while he was there. His favorite thing to say is "whats this?" or "what is this?" For the longest time, it sounded like he was saying "sis?" but now he has turned it into two words so that its "was sis?" but he'll get there. Sometimes, when he's reaching for something he can't get and wants me to help, I could swear he says "peas?" I didn't teach him that one, but I like it! 

Maddux's First Birthday!

Maddux turned 1 in March! We had his birthday party at Dannika Wallis's apartment. Her living room is the size of my whole apartment, so its perfect for parties. Me and Dannika had a way fun time decorating for the party, she bought a bunch of decorations to go with the ones i had saved from the baby shower. We had a Winnie the Pooh theme. Dannika and I made Maddux's name out of twine and tape on the wall, it looked really good! 

lots of people came and it was a huge success! Maddux covered himself in cake and was all red from the frosting. He was adorable! 

Maddux's cake was really amazing. Kellie Stephens, my cousin, made it for him. It was lemon poppy seed with raspberry filling. it had 2 layers and a ribbon around the bottom layer.
