Acting silly!

On a recent car ride, Maddox dumped out all of his toys and then proceeded to wear the plastic toy bin on his head. He kept trying to climb inside it by raising his leg up! It was pretty funny considering he was buckled it!

Eric was being nice and shared his pudding cup for dinner. Maddox dipped his hand in and smeared if all over Eric. Maddox laughed so hard!

More fun!

Maddox recently got his second hair cut!

He helped Eric plant flower bulbs. He actually did pretty well filling the holes with dirt!

Swinging outside with Granna Wood!

Happy Birthday Makenna!!

Maddox recently helped his friend Makenna celebrate her second birthday! He had so much fun at the party with all the girls (Sylvia-1, Makenna-2 and Madison-almost 3!) He was unsure of the bounce house at first and then we couldn't get him out. The girls went down on their bottoms while Maddox dove out head first. Typical boy!!

Summer Time is Almost Over...

As Summer comes to a close, we've been enjoying lots of time outside. Maddox LOVES being outside. He hangs around the front door in the evenings and makes whining sounds to go out. (This is after we've been out for almost 2 hours playing!) I don't know what we are going to do this winter! He's saying more and more words but "Big Truck" is still his favorite phrase.

Enjoying an evening with Daddy and Papaw Eckerle!

Safety First! We went to the Bear Hollow Fall Fest and saw chain saw carvings so Maddox had to wear ear plugs. He didn't mind too much but was sort of unsure about the carvers!

Summertime means cornhole. Here, Maddox shows the Vaught and Hendricks kids how to score points!

Staying overnight with Grandparents!

Maddox recently stayed overnight with Granna and Papaw Wood. Here's some of the fun he had:

Visiting Great-Grandma McNeely is always a treat. Great-Grandma is 91 and Maddox is 13 months old- he could learn alot from her!!

Maddox and Papaw were playing under a kitchen towel! Who needs toys?!


Granna and Maddox took and trip to the mall for a new "truck" book. Maddox stayed in his stroller the entire time and looked at the book- even upside down- all the way home! He LOVES this book!!!

Busy Summer!

We've had a busy summer. Here's some pictures from what we have been up to! Maddox is walking everywhere now. He LOVES Trucks (ANYTHING with wheels in his mind!) and says "Big Truck" everywhere we go. His first three word sentence was "Where Big Truck?" He also says baby, dog, kitty, duck, milk, cracker/cookie, up, open, tickle and lots of other words I can't think of off the top of my head.

Having fun after bath time!

He loves orange push-ups and comes towards us with his tongue out when we eat them!

Maddox had his first car wreck! Luckily his insurance will cover all the damage!

This is for Uncle Darin! Practicing baseball (instead of cleaning up the office!)

Helping Daddy take apart an old bookshelf.

Still "helping" us with that bookshelf!

Measuring the yard to see what it would cost to fence it in for next summer.

Mom, don't take a picture of my robe!

Sometimes the drive to Ferdinand gets a little long so we have to improvise! Here, Maddox is enjoying some iced tea!

"Big Truck" Papaw Eckerle pushed him around the patio and he loved it.
