Zander is doing great as a big brother, and I think Maddox thinks his big bro is pretty awesome as well! If I am busy making dinner, I will see Zander walk over to the bouncer or "monkey chair" and start to rock it or sing to Maddox or read him a book or point out the animals that hang above the bouncer. It is like Zander was born to be a big brother..... he handles the job so well! He will get me a burp cloth if I need it or throw a diaper in the trash (after he says "poopy in the diaper" of course!) Since Zander is potty-trained, we make a big deal to say it is yucky and only babies poop in a diaper.. big boys go in the potty! ;) If Maddox is crying, Zander quickly states, "Mommy, he needs milk!" It is crazy how fast he is catching on to the needs of a newborn! We are loving the time we can spend together!

| Burke is a good big brother too! He likes to protect his new brother! |
 |
| Just too cute not to include! |

| Every once in awhile we need to get a frozen yogurt treat for the big brother (and mommy too!) |
Maddox had his 2 week check up (which was closer to his three week mark).... he was up 20% from his birth weight.... weighing 9 lbs 10 oz. He also gained an inch in length and is now 21 inches. Our little guy is growing so fast!! He actually rolled over for the first time on November 18th! At just 3 weeks old, he has rolled from his belly to back twice!! I believe Zander was closer to three months when this happened! Hoping time slows down just a bit! ;)
