Almost 5 Months

Maddux will be 5 months old in exactly 1 week. Where did the time go? He is doing great, sleeping 7-8 hours at night and spends his days mainly learning and soaking everything up in between naps. He gets bored easily if we aren't keeping his mind occupied, so I spend my days reading and playing with him. Thank goodness for the exersauser that he sits in and turns himself in to play with all of his toys to give mom a break to eat or work. Maddux also has discovered he can fit about 5 fingers in his mouth which is way more fun than a pacifier even if he does gag himself.

I am doing great and love being a mom more than anything. School is out for summer, but I will be teaching a summer school class, Calculus 2 yeah, in a couple weeks. Maddux (Carlos) got me a jogger for Mother's Day so now my daily hour walks are a lot easier. The jogger has 3 tires like bike tires for easy steering and riding, and the wheels don't look like they are going to fall off if I run like they do in the stroller. Mother's Day was fun and busy visiting all the moms and Carlos' baseball game. Being a mother for only 4 months makes me realize Mother's Day should be a month per child at least. What do all you moms think? Below you will see the gifts Maddux got his grandmothers for Mother's Day. This was my attempt at being artistic like my friend Eden, but they don't look as good as her pictures. Enjoy!!!!
