The Turners: Summer!

I have been a huge slacker when it comes to blogging lately. I think it is pretty obvious that I have been back at work. I started back May 6th, and even though I knew it was only for a few weeks, it was so hard to leave my sweet little guy. We had wonderful family and friends that kept him for us though so at least I knew he was in good hands. Thank you to everyone who helped us out during those few weeks! That first day was probably the hardest and I have to say those three weeks seemed to just drag on, but summer is finally here and I am looking forward to spending every day with the most precious little man. If May was that hard, I can only imagine how hard it will be to leave him in the fall, but we won't think about that now!

Maddox is now three months old (hard to believe, I know) and he is growing and changing by the minute. Over the past week or so he has become increasingly attached to his little snuggly blankets. He has a giraffe and a tiger blankie and he just loves them! He just looks at it and squeezes it and rubs it on his cheek. It is very cute to watch. I think we are going to have to make sure we keep up with these because he would probably not be too happy to see them disappear.

Since I've last posted, I celebrated my first Mother's Day. We had a wonderful day! We went that morning and had Maddox's pictures taken with Jackson. We framed one to give to their Ra-Ra for Mother's Day! I think she liked it just a little! :) Later that evening we went to Maw Maw's for dinner. My mom came into town that night too so that she could help us with Maddox while I was at work the next week. Overall, it was a great Mother's Day! I truly love being a mommy and could not be more thankful for the greatest gift from God, my sweet little Maddox! I am also so very thankful for my mother and everything that she has done for me over the years. I know I probably don't say it enough, but thank you Mom!

Here are a couple of the pictures of Maddox and Jackson. They ended up turning out really cute!

Maddox made his first trip to New Orleans on Memorial Day weekend. We went for my friend, Ellen's wedding. We had a lot of fun and Ellen was a beautiful bride! Maddox was such a good boy in the car. He slept pretty much the entire ride. He woke up to eat and I sat with him in the back for a while and we played with his car seat bugs and read some books, but he never even fussed once. We are so thankful that he is a good car rider! My parents came over from Mobile and kept him during the wedding so it was nice that they got to spend some time with him. I think he enjoyed getting to see them again!

Since it has been so long since I updated last, I am going to post several recent pictures of him below. Even though I haven't written in a while, I have still been taking pictures of course!
