10 Months

I'm late in posting about another month of growth and excitement, but as of the 21st Maddox is 10 amazing months old.
He had his post surgery appointment and the surgeon was happy with how he checked out. He has lost a little weight since the surgery due to our going down on his feeds to accommodate his now smaller stomach and his body's new way of dealing with stomach contents. We are working on stretching that stomach out and will hopefully start bolus feeds in the the next month or two. We should also be able to discontinue two of his meds over the next couple months, which has Jeff and I giving each other high fives!! He has had some grumpy days, but I think he's feeling better. Maddox has been busy, as in wiggly, squirmy, whiny, feisty, ornery, etc... The kid is crazy!! He now has 8 teeth, 4 top and 4 bottom. He is drooling all over and soaking his clothes in saliva. He is sucking out of a straw, taking tastes of things,

Playing with balls, reaching for things and falling over.


He is obsessed with remotes and phones and all hand held technological devices. He throws tantrums when he doesn't get what he wants and is starting to show some serious sass(not sure where he gets it).

We love our little Mad-Man!! Keep up the good work bubba!!
