First Family Vacation

This last weekend we were lucky enough to go with Grandma and Grandpa Klug and family to Seaside, OR. It was Maddox's first long car ride and much to our relief he slept, well, like a baby the whole way. The weather on Friday and Saturday was great and we only had to deal with the rain and wind on Sunday.

Our weekend was filled with a ton of fun! On Friday we went with Aaliyah and Samantha to the arcade. Maddox had a fun time watching the girls play games from his baby carrier. On Saturday we started the day with doughnuts covered in Butterfingers; they were oh-so tasty! The rest of the day we took advantage of the sun and walked the beach and through the shops and Trey even spent some time in the pool with his sisters. Saturday night the family all spent time together to celebrate Jasmyne's 5th birthday. Sunday we headed to Cannon Beach before we had to go home. Maddox had his first trip to Mo's, but unfortunately he is not quite old enough to try the chowder yet, maybe next time.

Updated Pictures

Things have been going great around the Klug house. Maddox is doing really good; at one month he weighed 11lbs and was 22 inches long, he's a big boy!! Maddox now smiles (which is almost impossible to catch on camera) and "talks" to us. He is sleeping pretty good, waking up only one time a night, which Mommy and Daddy really enjoy. There is never a dull moment and he keeps Trey and I entertained.

This weekend coming up we will be going on our first vacation to Seaside, OR with Grandma and Grandpa Klug and the Klug crew. It will be a great time and I will be sure to post pictures as soon as we get back.

Koda and Maddox - Best Buddies

When we first got pregnant we were worried how our first little boy Koda would react to having a new brother. It took a little time, but now it seems that the two little boys are the best of friends.

Merry Christmas!

We had an awesome Christmas this year! Maddox is such a sweet boy and having a new baby sure does make the season that much more special and gives you more to be thankful for. We ran around all Christmas and it was nice to be able to spend time with our family.

Christmas Eve was filled with fun at Great Grandma and Grandpa Klug's followed by presents from Santa at Grandma Dagmar and Grandpa Randy's house. They are foster parents of six girls and it was so fun to be there while the girls enjoyed their gifts from Santa. Christmas morning we were up bright and early and to Aunt Sarah and Uncle Brian's house by 7am. Santa had stopped there too and it was a blast to watch Kaelen, Graysen and Logen open their gifts. The rest of the afternoon was spent EATING!! We ate a Christmas dinner with Klugs at 1 and then with the Revords at 5. I think we had to be rolled back home by the end of the day!

Maddox Claus

Maddox after the Grotto; I think he had too much hot chocolate.

Here comes Santa Claus!

I can't believe it is almost Christmas. We spent most of the day today finishing up our shopping and hopefully this weekend I will be able to get everything wrapped. This last Wednesday Maddox had a chance to visit with Santa and tell him everything he wanted for Christmas; I have a feeling he is on the nice list this year.

We were very lucky that Trey was able to take three weeks off when Maddox was born, but sadly the time has finally come for him to head back to work. Maddox and I are going to miss him a lot during the day and we will try our best to hold down the fort.

More Maddox

Here are some new pictures of our little guy. It seems like he is changing everyday. He loves to eat! We are all doing well and working to get adjusted to our new life together.

Maddox's First Doctor's Appointment

Today we had Maddox's two week check-up (weird they scheduled it now since he is only a week old, but oh well). He now weighs 8 lbs 11 oz and is 21 inches long. The doctor said that everything looked great and that he seemed to be growing well. Afterwards we had to head to the lab so he could have some blood taken for a state mandated screening test. Trey nominated me to go back with the baby, which was the worst thing I have had to do so far. Poor baby was screaming so bad he could be heard all the way in the waiting room, which of course was where Trey was relaxing. I on the other hand was sweating to death trying to find a way to make poor Maddox calm down while the lab tech poked him and squeezed the crap out of his heel. I am glad to say we made it through and are now home trying to unwind from that stressful 10 minutes. Trey will for sure be taking his turn next when any shots or blood work is needed :)
