Week 3 Update#2

On Monday night Matthew had his first bottle, given to him by Jeff. He did pretty well and we will keep giving him one a few times a week. Lauren has offered to watch her brother on Valentine's Day so Jeff and I can have a dinner out alone. I'm sure we won't go far, yet it will be nice to get out together. Wednesday we went to the Mall of America with Rebecca and Carly and had a great time. Carly was very intrigued by how Matthew gets to eat and my favorite line was "So, if you eat crackers does the milk taste like crackers?" Only from the mouth of babes! I loved the Nordtrom's lounge and Rebecca showed me all of the elevators and gave lots of great advice on being out and about with a stroller. Today, we had Matthew's doctor appointment. The little tank weighs 11 pounds and is 23 inches long. It was a bittersweet visit since our doctor is leaving his practice to go to the hospital side. We can only hope to find a new doctor half as special as Rolando. We were blessed to have him be part of our pregnancy and birth. Today is nap day, meaning Kristi needs to nap with Matthew. It's true you SHOULD nap when the baby is napping. Making yourself do it is the hard part.
