Matthew is up to 13 lbs. 2 oz. and is now into the 3-6 month clothes. I need to find someone having a boy to pass along all of his cute newborn clothes. He has found his hands and tongue and likes exploring both. We've caught him with his thumb in his mouth a few times. We get real smiles now, although I get to see most of them because he is very alert and happy in the early mornings. I am posting a smile I got just this morning. Matthew slept 7 and 1/2 hours at a stretch two nights this week. It didn't become a trend and he was up at 2:30 this morning, although I won't complain about just "once a night" feedings. We finished getting Matthew's name up in his room and some additional beach-theme decorations up. I love his room - it's a bright and cozy place to hang out. I have a few more things I'd like to do, but we are close to being finished. Speaking of finished...we are officially a complete family. Jeff had his "v" last Friday. He slept a lot that night and rested well on Saturday. I thought I was going to have two babies on my hands but he was very self-sufficient. I have continued getting out most days. I found a high school friend on Facebook and we got together this week to catch up. I just started walking at the high school track while pushing Matthew in his stroller. Yesterday we walked while Lauren was in gym so she and her friends could see him. She kissed him goodbye and her teacher said "Lauren, I hope you know that baby." She responded, "he's my brother!" Lindsay leaves for Mexico tomorrow for spring break with 20+ of her closest friends and their parents. (Her mom is going with her.) The rest of us are jealous of her getaway. Next year we will definitely be heading south ourselves.
