My brilliant friend Becca found this new feature on Blogger where you can add polls and let your friends vote. I love it! So to start it off I am helping my brother and sister solve thier long time debate about their favorite baseball teams. Please help them end the fued by voting in the sidebar on the right. This should be fun!
Get ready for some fun games of "Would you rather..."
All burning questions and debates come to an end here!

I hate HTML!
Ok, so I went in a while ago to try and update the blog. I also tried to put a new picture of Maddox on the Lilypie ticker. When I did that, I messed up the HTML somehow so all that was showing on the blog was stupid code. After almost having a heart attack thinking I had lost all the pictures and comments from when I got pregnant, I finally found those archives. Well, after hours of work and days of confusion, it finally hit me that maybe I can just change the template and whatever I messed up would be replaced with the new template. IT WORKED! Yea! So now we have a new look - I was kind of tired of the dots anyway.
So now that we have that crisis fixed, here is an update....
Maddox is doing great! The Zantac has worked wonders. He is now smiling all the time and even thinking about laughing. He is also rolling over! He started this a few weeks ago and we thought it was just coincidence because we thought it must be way too early for him to really know what he was doing. But after the 3rd time we figured he must really not like it on his stomach. Now every time we put him down, he immediately rolls himself over. It takes him a while to make it all the way and he is still really surprised when he makes it to his back. It is really funny. At his 2 month checkup, he weighed 11 lbs 4 oz, and was 22 3/4" long. Both of those are in the 50th percentile. His head was only in the 25th percentile, but the doctor said that is in the normal range. (I guess his cousin Presely took all the head space!) We are coming to Texas on the 18th of August and we can't wait to see our grandparents holding our son! If you don't mind, if you could add that trip to your prayer list. Maddox still isn't too fond of his car seat so we aren't sure how this is going to go and it isn't the shortest trip in the world.
Ok, enough talk...here is what you really came for....pictures!
Dad's dream...someone to play X-box with...start em' early!
All dressed up in his Longhorn gear thanks to the Bighams...once again...start em' early!
Ready for his first 4th of July (Thanks Aunt Kimberly for the cool outfit). He was so excited he slept through the whole fireworks show!
This is Maddox's new friend Sophia. Our friends Steve and Thea just adopted her from Guatemala. Isn't she beautiful? She has a brother Max as well, but he had already gone to bed. I will have to get a picture of him next time. I can see many play dates in our future!
On his 2 month birthday, Maddox got to go to the doctor and get a lot of shots! What a birthday present, huh? I should have known to take his picture BEFORE we went. He was not very happy afterward. We have ice packs on his legs here to try and numb them a little. He would scream if we would slightly touch them. Poor kid.
After he knocked himself out from crying, I finally got this picture. I was very careful not to wake him up, so it is not the best pose, but it will be funny to remember how we spent his 2 month birthday.
This was our first successful walk. We had attempted once before, but we only got a few blocks up before he was ready to go back in. This day was pretty cool outside, so I think he enjoyed it. We also bought a fan that is hooked to the inside of the stroller. That helped a lot. He is very heat intolerant...just like his Dad!
Chillin' on the couch after our walk.
And...his newest trick...rolling over!
We are having so much fun with him and can't believe how fast he is changing. He is such a sweet baby. It melts my heart when I walk in the room and he looks for me, and especially when he smiles at me! There is nothing better!
