7 Months Old!

Can you believe it?
I can't believe it!
Matt is 7 months old. Where has the time gone?
Taylor bought Matt his first Ford Tractor Hat...


Progress is being made on the house. The latest...the wood floors are finished!
Check out the kitchen.

I LOVE the kitchen! I can't wait to get home and cook.
I am sure that Taylor can't wait either. Peanut butter and popcorn can get old.


Matt is now sitting up really good by himself. He loves remotes. He is currently sitting in Sue Sue's lap chewing on one! Not a good habit. He is now eating stage 2 foods. There are some really interesting combinations of foods. I think that Matt's favorite is still cereal with prunes...yummy!
He just got his new car seat. I think that he likes it. What do you think?

We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Matt's cousin Baby Luke. He is due on May 22nd. I have a feeling that he is going to arrive sooner...we will see! I can't wait to be an aunt again! It is one of my favorite things in the whole world!
Have a blessed week.

Spring Break

Spring Break is quickly coming to an end :(

We have had a busy week.

It all started with a trip to Kosair bright and early Monday morning for an MRI. We had to be there at 7 am. Matt had to be NPO after 1 am and couldn't have any clear liquids after 4 am. I was really worried that Matt would be fussy, but God is SO GOOD! He did really well. They have a new Sedation Wing completely dedicated to what other than...Sedations. They were very nice. Matt didn't really care for the medicine, but it did the job. I rocked him to sleep and then they took him for his test. Taylor and I went to get some breakfast. Matt got back to the room not long after we got back. He was actually awake when they brought him in, but he fell right back to sleep. They said that he would either be grumpy or sleepy...he was very sleepy.

Tuesday I spent the days shopping with my sisters and Matt spent the day with Sue Sue. We went to the Gap Outlet and IKEA...my idea of a perfect shopping day! Sue Sue, Matt and I went to Portrait Innovations on Wednesday to get his first "official" pictures. They took over 50...it was so hard to make choices. I think that they turned out pretty good. I will let you decide for yourselves.

And that is just a few of them!

Thursday I spent the day cleaning the house. I had some awesome help! Thanks ladies! Matt spent the day with his aunts. We cleaned for 5 hours!

Matt had his 6 month well check-up on Friday morning at 8:30 am...I scheduled that one...what was I thinking? The doctor said that Matt was "awesome"...those are his words! He weighs 18 lb 11 oz and is 27 inched long. The doctor said that the MRI results were normal. That was great to hear. He got 2 shots and one immunization orally. He doesn't go back until July...9 months.

Saturday Matt went to his first Big Boy Birthday Party. His cousin Nate turned 5 this week! He had a boys only Spiderman party. Sue Sue took Matt so that I could get some more cleaning done at the house...getting paint and drywall mud off the subfloor...fun times!

Can you believe it?

Matthew is 6 months old today!

Matt loves spending his week days with Mrs. Debbie. The picture below was taken one afternoon after I picked him up. He was asleep before I even got to our driveway...only a couple of miles down the road. They must have had a busy day :)

Matt loves to bounce...
it is really cute and funny when he gets going...
he even makes himself laugh.

I am on Spring Break next week...I can hardly wait!

In case you didn't know: We have an appointment at Kosair on Monday morning for an MRI. They are going to check the spot on Matt's lower back (really the top of his butt). I am not concerned about the MRI or even the results whatever they may or may not show. I just don't like the idea of putting our little man to sleep. So if you think about it, say a little prayer that we have a positive experience. He also has to go NPO after 4am...that should be fun, he usually doesn't miss a meal :)

Matt then has his well 6 month check-up on Friday. I didn't realize that it was Spring Break when I make the appointment for 8:30 in the morning!

The house is coming along...should only be a few more weeks!

Have a blessed week!

24 Weeks

It is so hard to believe that Matthew is 24 weeks old!
It seems like he is doing something new every day.
He continues to love his bath-time.

He holds onto things with both hands.

We are so blessed to have a happy baby!

Did you notice what his shirt says!?

He can touch his toes.
He tries to get them in his mouth!
He is also rolling over from his back to his belly.
I haven't been able to get that on video yet...

Have a blessed week!

20 Weeks

Happy Belated Valentine's Day!

We spent Valentine's Day with Daddy at the Farm Machinery Show. There were lots of BIG farm toys! I am sure that next year Matt will want to "ride" on all of them.


Hanging out with Daddy...

We tried cereal for the first time this week...you can see that it was a little messy.

He did well for the first time...

Matt newest thing is sticking out his tongue...it is really cute. I will work on getting a picture of that.

Beautiful Baby Contest!

I totally forgot that I had entered Matt in the Today’s Family magazine’s Beautiful Baby Contest. My friend Jennifer called me yesterday and said that his picture was in the magazine. Matt is one of 140 babies in the contest! If he wins, he will be on the cover of the June edition. Wouldn’t that be fun!?

I tried a contest before and it ended up being a headache…surveys, emails, etc. (I am so sorry if I got you involved in that one! J) This one is very easy. If you would like to vote, see the directions below. Feel free to pass this on to ALL of your friends and family.

4 Month Check-up

We have had an exciting week that included power outages and a trip to the doctor. Matt and I spent a few days at home with Daddy since he didn't lose electricity. It was so nice to be home. Can't wait til it is for good!

On Saturday, Sue Sue picked me and Matt up at the house. We went and got Noah and headed to the mall. We met Joel, Lee-Anne, Nate and Naomi there. The kids enjoyed riding the rides.


We went to the doctor on Monday for Matt's 4 Month Check-up. Here are his stats:

Weight: 15 lbs & 7 oz - 50%
Head: 70%
Height: 75%

Matt got two shots...one in each leg...he cried...it broke Mommy's heart. :(


Noah stayed the night on Monday....he loved playing with Baby Matt. Here they are in a box together...


The morning after...
