Look at my new trick!

Maddox is sitting up on his own now! He topples over every once in a while, but for the most part, he does pretty well. Enjoy!

Back from vacation!

What a fantastic trip! Here's a quick recap:

~New Orleans Saturday and Sunday. We got to send time with cousins Noah and Landry as well as my sister and her husband. We ate some phenomenal seafood and even made it down to the French Quarter with the kids in tow to eat at Margaritaville. The weather wasn't that great, so we did some shopping, relaxing, and definitely did some eating. :)

~Destin Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Joe and I snuck off to Florida to stay at a beautiful resort in Destin for a few days. Alissa and Donny took great care of Maddox. I have to say, it was VERY difficult for us to leave him behind, but we managed to have a great time. We did alot of eating, drinking, and lounging on the beach. It was rough. Weather was beautiful and the beaches were comparable to those in the caribbean. We are already planning our next vacation there...this time, with Maddox in tow.

~New Orleans Thursday and Friday. Joe and I were so sunburned that we couldn't head out to enjoy the beautiful weather on Thursday, so Alissa and I took the kids to the French Quarter and Bourbon Street. What a cool town! Friday, we all headed to the pool to enjoy our last day in town. Maddox went swimming for the first time.

Saturday, we were up early and had a long day of flying. We all made it back safe and sound. Unfortunately, Maddox caught a nasty cough/cold and isn't feeling that great. We started some breathing treatments with him and hopefully he'll be feeling better in no time.

4 month stats

Maddox now weighs 15 pounds, 13 ounces and is 25 inches long. He's in the 50th percentile across the board. He hit quite a growth spurt from his last visit just 4 weeks ago. Good to know he is progressing perfectly. He thoroughly enjoyed laying on the doctor's table...the noisy paper was a whole lot of fun for him! Doctor says no solids until 6 months so we'll be holding off for another couple of months, which doesn't disappoint me - I just can't stand to see him "growing up". That will be another hurdle for me, just like moving him into his own room. :)

We are eagerly anticipating our visit to New Orleans in less than two weeks. Maddox can't wait to spend time with Aunt Alissa, Uncle Donny, and cousins Noah and Landry. Joe and I are going to Florida for a few days (if we can handle being away from Maddox that long). We are looking forward to spending time with family and warmer weather! I'm a little nervous about traveling - planes, dirty airports, layovers, UGH. I'm sure it will go more smoothly than I think.

Hope this update finds everyone doing well!

Love,
The LaCopos

4 months now

We are headed to the doctor today, so I'll have to update the "stats" later, but I wanted to put up this video. We finally caught Maddox rolling over. He's growing up so fast!

The cutest little bare bum in the whole wide world. :)

Bath time with mommy.
