1 month last Friday that is... Being a new Mom and posting new blogs is hard! Anyway... What a crazy and beautiful month it was... This post is for Maddox. Just a few memories of the last month and some things we have learned about you...-You (obviously) has great hair... Although you do have Hollister-Ginkel genes... Maybe God just wanted you to have a little extra in the early stages of life.... :)
-When you cry, your bottom lip sticks out. Cute little pouty face...
-Oma & Opa (my parents, your grandparents) drove almost 100 miles an hour from Id Falls just to get here in time for your arrival! They made it!
-Your Dad, Oma and Opa, and Grandma Hollister were all in the delivery room to see you the minute you were born...
-You do NOT like being cold. You love to snuggle...
-See "Funny Story" post below...
-Your Uncle Ross and Aunt D traveled from Portland in time for your week Birthday!
-Your first road trip was to Idaho Falls. You slept the whole way.
-You make the funniest faces. We could watch you for hours and hours...
-Your Dad and I gave you your first bath and you hated it. So did we. :(
-Your first shopping trip was to Target with your Oma and I.
-You love to stare at lights.
-Apollo (your very hairy big brother) loves you very much and worries about you when you cry. -You like to dance with me to the dinosaur song.
-You left the hospital weighing 6 lbs and 4 oz. Now you are almost 9 lbs!
-You went from waking up at night every 1.5 hours to 2.5 and sometimes even 3!
-We saw your new bellybutton 10 days after you were born.
-You have long skinny legs. (maybe you will be a runner!)
-When we brought you home, none of your clothes fit because you were so little.
-You love to be swaddled at night. Until you realize they belong to you, your hands just get in the way...
-You have had a lot of visitors. Everyone wants to meet you...
-You love music.
-You spent your 1 month Birthday in Idaho Falls.
-You got to meet your Great Grandparents. Your Great Grandma Duncan was brought to tears when she saw you. Your Great Grandpa Ginkel held you and was amazed by your little toes.
-You have so many people that love you...Even before you were born, we loved you.
WE LOVE YOU MADDOX!!!!!!

Cute pics and stories. It brought tears to my eyes just to hear that he's already NINE lbs!! Can't wait to see you guys in a few weeks -- tell him to stop growing until we get there!!!
He is so sweet Mis. Sounds like things are going well for you. I really need to come see you soon! They grow so fast! Keep taking lots of pictures. You will be amazed at how much they change in such a short time.
