Happy 4th Birthday Maddox!

My Madman Maddox,

I cannot believe that you are four years old!!  I love you, my sweet, energetic, fearless, compassionate baby boy!  You are constantly moving, constantly getting into things and constantly making me smile!  We are so lucky you are ours!  Right now, you are enjoying all the new toys you got for your birthday!  You try desperately to share with your older brother (even though he sometimes makes it difficult)..... you are always my best sharer!  You are working on counting to 20 and writing the letters in your name (see below).  You love holding up four fingers and counting each one to show how old you are!  At four, you are able to chew gum now and you were quite excited when Zander gave you gum (that he picked out just for you) first thing this morning!  At your flu shot earlier this month, you didn't even move a muscle or make a sound as you got your shot!  This fearless attitude comes in handy often, although I'm worried it might cause us to be in the emergency room a few times over the years!  I absolutely love your smile..... you use your whole face to show how happy you are!  You currently like getting up before 5:00 a.m. and we are hoping that you will start to sleep in a little bit.  You always find a reason to get up whether it is to go the bathroom, you are scared of the rain/thunder or you just want to cuddle with mommy!  There is never a dull moment when you are around!  I love you so much and can't wait to see what you will do next! 

Love you,

Mommy

 They celebrated your birthday at church last Sunday... you were excited about going on stage!

 Last night as a three year old....

Birthday morning.... mommy made cinnamon rolls and sausage!  Aunt A, Uncle Jay and Henry got you a baseball helmet for your upcoming baseball season!

We celebrated your birthday at Jump n Fun with friends and family!  Since Emerson's birthday is just a couple weeks later and Aunt Lindsey is due to have your new cousin in the upcoming weeks, we had a joint birthday party for you both!  Since we sometimes call you M (Maddox) and Em (Emerson) we went with an M & M themed birthday party!  Everyone had a blast!

These mamas are worn out but are excited we pulled off a successful birthday party for these cousins!
