Hangin' with Mummy

The days when boob juice would knock the kid out!

The cutest little feet.
I just can't help wanting to kiss them.
There I go again kissing the bottoms of his feet even though he hates it.

7 Lbs April 28

At Matthew's four week pediatricians visit we found out that he hit the 7lb mark (the day before he weighed 6 13.5) so he is officially growing like a weed.
Making faces like he would like to eat again soon.
Contemplating the big universal questions: when do I get to eat again, should I poo now or wait until I have a clean diaper on?

My Favorite Picture

Snuggles with Mummy and Daddy

What is possibly better than snuggling in for a nap with a teeny baby?
Out Cold
Napping on the couch after crying the day Nana and Papa left.
Sleeping with Daddy in the chair while he watches TV.
now all we have to do is figure out how to break us all of this bad habit

Key on Foot

First Bath April 19th

Finally Matthew's umbilical cord fell off and his belly button healed enough that we were able to give him a real bath. He didn't seem to enjoy this one very much but he has been very relaxed in the subsequent ones.

Thanks to the Monahans for this great bath tub seat.
Gotta clean out the toe jam.


It's a little foggy in here.
Close up through the fog.
Curly hair.
Cute curls that appear when we wash Matthew's hair.

Meeting the Rest of the Family

One afternoon we put Matthew on the floor to take some pictures with his blankets and were joined by the critters.
MMMM the lovely smell of babies.

All babies should be licked regularly. So far I've managed to keep the dog's tongue off Matthew's face.
Very carefully getting a closer look.
Mo has been very uncertain about this whole thing from the very beginning. We even got a hiss out of him when we first came home.
Archie thinks this baby smells really good. When he comes in the house now the first thing he does is find his baby.
Just chillin together.
