here are a couple pics to show a slice of our life today!

can you see the two kids chillin?

maddox is the fuzz patrol. he is quick to find “fuzh” on his passy and he gives it to me to remove the offending fuzz or piece of my hair. now his patrol has expanded to all fuzz on toys or the floor. yikes. if this is the territory, this will be neverending. here he is giving me some fuzz on his book.

cora is beginning to wake up more and more. she is a chunker, weighing 9#5oz at her one month appt. ha. she also had a cold at her one month! maddox’s first cold was at 8 mos and hers is at 1. i am told this is the life of the 2nd child.

it has recently dawned on me that maddox is a slowpoke in the best but truest sense of the word. he is a dawdler at lots of things, not just eating, but at his lunch yesterday was the first time i was laughing uncontrollably at him. it took him about 10 minutes – no joke – to eat one piece of macaroni and about 2 crumbs off a muffin for his lunch. (< yes, i was bribing him to eat by offering him cake at that point.) with a bite, he would lick it, breathe on it, put it in and out of his mouth so many times that it was very creative and very hilarious. he was not unhappy, he was just hanging out, playing with food. i wish i could describe it well enough that you would laugh as much too. but now that i’m typing it, maybe it really wasn’t that funny. maybe lack of sleep had something to do with not being able to stop my laughter. maddox did think it was funny – me laughing that hard. it must have been. that’s our life as of now!
