Maddox's New Dress

We have been showered with packages from friends and family over the last 2 weeks. Thank you to everyone!! Most of the packages have contained things for Kennon AND everyone has been so thoughtful to remember Maddox too. She got a cute lady bug gingham halter dress from 'Aunt' Kelly yesterday. So cute. I had to take some pictures. And OH....I remembered to take a few of Kennon too. It seems Maddox is so much more 'photogenic' at this point in time that I sort of forget that you'd like to see how Kennon is changing too. He has started smiling, of course involuntarily but, he is smiling none the less. He went 2 4 hour stretches last night, although that was helped along by some early hour rocking provided by Eric. He slept the ENTIRE day yesterday so we thought we'd be in for a long night but 2 4 hour stretches is pretty good. He loves to snooze in this bouncy seat AND the swing. His umbilical cord is looking good now and he really seemed to enjoy his first REAL bath on Friday night....whoops forgot to get that on camera. It seems I TOTALLY understand why the second kid has WAY less pictures than the first. I am too busy to think about capturing a shot!! He is still eating and pooping well and gets very fussy if he is struggling with gas. But, we know all about that from the issues we had with Maddox and this is nothing compared to that. Kennon is eventually able to get rid of it unlike Maddox. Tomorrow is my first day home with Maddox and Kennon by myself. Hopefully Maddox will have a good day. She is out with Eric right now on a jog with a good buddy of Eric's. Friday afternoon I took her up the road a bit to a little girl named Hannah's house. Hannah is 19 months old and is expecting another sibling the end of September. Her mom stays home and it appears she is dying to get to know people in the neighborhood, as they just moved in this Spring. It is so funny to see the differences in the girls. Hannah is very short and stocky and much more reserved than Maddox. I was worried Maddox would be a little agressive with her being older and bigger and more social but she did really well. The girls played in Hannah's little sprinkler pool thing while Jodie and I chatted. Eric stayed home to chaperone Kennon. I'm hoping to get the girls together regularly this summer while I am off.
