Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from the Shumates!

We've been pretty busy lately so just now sending out lots of new pics of Maddox. He's almost 4 and a half months old now, and growing like a weed!

We hope you enjoy a wonderful Holiday Season - we know our first together will be unforgettable!

Love,

Us

Welcome Riley!

Maddox has yet another new little-person friend - Riley Grace arrived coincidentally on the 27th - Maddox's "4 month birthday"!

Here's Mom with new-mom Melinda - both pregnant at Mom's shower; recently at Melinda's shower (Amy's not pregnanet anymore in this one); Baby Riley on her birthday; and Maddox and Riley napping together today. (Miss Riley was sweet enough to let Maddox rest in her pack-n-play when he came to visit).

Maddox - in action!

Maddox has started (the cutest!) laughing, and has even attempted to crawl.
The first video is his cute little cackle and the second is his first scoot.
He doesn't like to be on his stomache (hince the fussiness while crawling) so he hasn't really turned over yet. Just rocks to his side and stops. Why bother rolling over when you don't like to be on your belly, huh?
Enjoy!
