A Tooth! And some other things....

Yesterday Maddux grew up a little more on me, his first tooth popped through. That is right. A tooth. I started crying in Wendy's when I discovered it!!!  At least this explains the poor sleeping and un-ending fussiness as of late, he was working on that tooth! I don't think Will and I can let him chomp on our fingers for much longer, before we know it it's going to hurt. My baby boy is growing up SO fast and quite honestly, I'm loving every single second of it. Yeah, I miss the itty bitty Maddux I brought home from the hospital but seriously, watching him grow is amazing.

I'm a terrible mother and didn't take any pictures of Maddux yesterday with the camera, only my phone. Of course you can't really see the tooth yet, only feel it. But have no worries, soon enough I will have a picture of the lonesome tooth! Here he is playing in his exer-saucer and of course it's blurry, the kid won't stop bouncing.

We had a great weekend around the Gay household. On Friday Will and I got some quality bonding time - a whole day alone together and we loved every second of it. Here we are at breakfast....good ol' self portrait.

On Saturday Maddux tried out a new toy....his doorway jumper. To say he loved it wouldn't do justice. That kid would bounce from sun up to sun down if I let him!

Sunday was a big day at Journey church. Our pastor, Vic Cuccia, gave out a copy of his new book he wrote called Steeple Envy. I'm only through chapter 4 but am thoroughly enjoying it. The book is a great reminder of what the church should be, and sadly, what so many are not. If you're interested in reading it you can check it out HERE. It's a great book for anyone who loves Jesus.

One last thing, I entered Maddux's photo into a contest! He could possibly be on the cover of American Baby next year! Please go vote. You can vote once a day through November 20. So  GO! Vote! And remember, you can vote daily!!!! Please and Thank you!!!!


Love to all,
