Maddux:
We can't believe it, but Maddux is 12 weeks old today. Were does the time go? Before we know it he will be walking, yeah. Maddux is doing great. He is now 12 lbs. which is double his birth weight of 6 lbs which means he is gaining about 1/2 lb a week so he is right on track (as Carlos says he is by the book Maddux like his mother), but he is still a little guy. He is in the 25% and 30% for weight and height respectively. This is no suprise to us looking at his parents my guess is that he won't be that tall, but there is still some hope. He has been spoiling us rotten with 6-8 hour sleep streches at night and fun interaction during the day. He now grabs things, like his rattle, and shakes it along with spontaneous smiles and coos which we love. Carlos is afraid to have more kids for fear that the next one can't possibly be as perfect as Maddux.
Carlos:
Carlos is an amazing father (which should come to no suprise to anyone). He always has diaper duty, even in the middle of the night, unless he is at work or the diaper is so bad he might throw up. He always helps me try to get a crying Maddux to sleep any time of night even though he wakes up at 5 am for work. He watches Maddux when I teach for 4 hours Tuesday and Thursday nights which happens to be his fussy time, but Carlos makes it through. He also gives him the bottle when I am gone which is a struggle, but Carlos is patient. He worries a lot when Maddux cries, but I am to the point where I can tell him to not worry it is only gas or hunger. Carlos still can't believe Maddux is real and that we are so blessed to have him. I think it will settle in soon.
Tau:
Tau is becoming a very well behaved dog. Who would have known that by having a baby around he would shape up? He now knows where his bed is and doesn't even try to sleep in our room and when we walk he always walks on the right side of the stroller without daring to pull away. He has only licked Maddux's face once, he mainly smells him and then looses interest. Once Maddux begins crawling, I think Tau will have a new best friend.
Here are some pics of my boys:
