I'm Ready For My Closeup

Who loves to have his picture taken? Well by the looks of this picture that would be Matty.

Its The Little Things That Matter

Well it finally happened....Yes folks that's right Matty slept through the night. The first time he did it we thought something was wrong. We kept going in to check on him and make sure he was still breathing. I think we got less sleep than he did. All total that night he slept for 9 hours. In the days since he sleeps for 7 to 8 hours at a time and then wakes to be changed and to eat and miraculously goes back to sleep for another hour and a half to 2 hours. So NO MORE NIGHT SHIFT!!!!! Yippee. Now the only thing Dave and I have to decide is who gets up to do the 7am feeding on weekends.

5 Weeks Old

 

In the past 5 weeks Matty has really grown. He now weighs 10lbs 3oz. He loves to cat nap and is almost sleeping through the night. Six hours at a stretch isn't bad for 5 weeks old. Bath time isn't so bad....he only screams when you take him out of the tub. Matty also loves visitors. Looking at and studying faces is one of his favorite passtimes. He has also come down with his first cold but he is getting better day by day. 

Matty's First Christmas

Matty had a wonderful first Christmas, even though he slept through most of it.
