So Big

Well today we retired our bouncy chair. It was kinda hard because that bouncy chair was with us sunce the beginning. At one point it was the only place Matt would take a nap!! He loved the vibrations in it. They really helped soothe him when nothing else worked.

Here are some pics. It is amazing to see how big he got!

4 days old..we were off to a rough start..




10 days old





1 month old






1 1/2months old




2 1/2 months old





3 months old




3 months old




After about 4 months I don't have that many pictures of him..but this picture is the last one I have of him in the chair. He is 6 months old :)

Being sick stinks!

Matt is suffering dearly from a cold that he picked up from someone over the holiday weekend. Not much time to update, but he is really sick. His fever broke today which is good, but he so miserable, and has a terrible cough. I wish I could take his sickness into my body! Send him lots of love and get well vibes!!!


Hopefully he will be looking like this again soon....

I am thankful for...

My Happy and Healthy baby! He is our little miracle and I thank the stars everyday that we have him.

My mom...she helps me out so much!

Bill...he is a wonderful man.

My family! Without them and the memories we have I don't think life would be as much fun!

My friends. They are my rocks.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Our Friday Nights...

Checking in...

So I haven't been online much in the past week. We were busy folk!!! I had Open House and parent teacher conferences. Matthew had his 6 month well visit on Thursday (the same night of Open House..of course!!) He is 15 lbs 8 ozs AND 26.5 inches long! Matthew's lowest weight was 5 lbs 15 ozs when he was 5 days old so he has gained 10 pounds in 6 months!!! My baby is growing like a weed! He is in 6-12 months and 9 month clothes. It is unbelievable. The doc said he is perfect. He loves Matthew's personality..:) Who wouldn't when you have Matthew smiling and blowing raspberries! Then it was shot time......:( He handled them like a champ and really didn't have any side effects!

Until next time!

We will have pictures next time :)

Joys of motherhood

Last night, Matty was such an oinker. He ate peas, then nursed, then had a bottle. He took a break for a bit and played. He then ate cereal and another bottle! It must be a growth spurt. Afterwards we did our nighttime ritual..read a few stories, take a bath, cuddle and fall asleep. Well after his bath he got in his new jammies and we went downstairs to so I can rock him and he can go to sleep. He then decides to spit up all over me and his new jammies. I am in a tank top, so it went all down my shirt, my back, and all in my hair. Needless to say it wasn't the most pleasent experience, but one that I will remember for a while. **SIGH** You gotta love the joys of motherhood!



But it is all worth it when you see that face...how could you not love that face!

New trick!

So Matthew has discovered rolling towards a destination. He keeps rolling and rolling and rolling until he can't go anymore!!!He is getting bigger by the day!


I am on my tummy..which way do I go?


On my back!

Happy Halloween!!!

We had a nice Halloween. Matthew came to my classroom for a party and I showed him off! Later, we went to my Nana's and had a visit. Then we went Matty's Gammy's house to help pass out candy! Suzie was there along with Bob! We had a great time :) Kelly came by later and we had fun taking pictures!
