High 5s


Happy Birthday to.....Me and Maddox (well kind of) This past week I turned the big 25 and Maddox turned 5 months!!! (I know..I cannot believe he is that old either...crazy how the time goes by so fast) Just a month for 5s It was a fantastic birthday for me. I actually feel younger this year. I always pictured myself much older when I started a family, so having Maddox "early" actually makes me feel much much younger (it doesn't hurt that I still look 15, although I do get some pretty nasty looks from the elderly people when they see me with Maddox...hahahah)
Things in the Voda house are going quiet well at the moment. Maddox is still sleeping in his big boy bed and doing great at it, I still pray for the day when we sleep through the night, but I try to cherish this time that he still "needs" me in the wee Hours of the night. We started the cereal again this past week and Maddox has done much much better with it this time. His little tummy is allowing him to digest it much easier. We ate sweet peas this evening...he made some funny faces, but he ate every last bite (he tried to help me feed him and he would pat his fat little hands on the high chair try when I wasn't going fast enough. Do you think I am going to have a "demanding" little one on my hands....I do think so..heheheh) He is laying on his tummy for longer periods of time throughout the day and is attempting to master the tummy role (that can go two ways...rolling from tummy to back and simply the fact that I have a rather plump boy with a few belly roles....so precious)
Maddox finally laughed out loud for Brad and I....yipppee...what a glorious sound!!! He laughed when he was getting his 5 month picture made, he laughed at the girls at Brad's work, and he laughs for Brad when he makes silly faces or noises. I think this has been our favorite milestone! We have anticipated that laugh for a very long time now and we attempt anything to make it happen. It is wonderful to know that our little one is feeling better now and is able to discover more of his personalty and enjoy the world around him. Thank you Jesus for helping him feel better!!!

I will leave you with a small video of Maddox the Sucker-Fish licking the frost off of a cold glass and some of my favorite pictures from this past week!!! I hope everyone is doing well, thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to check up on our sweet little man!!!
