Happy Boy

Matthew was 6 MONTHS Today!

Matthew was 6 Months today!  I cannot believe he is half a year :)  He is trying to roll over on his own, getting very close and he enjoys trying to sit up on his own too.  He hasnt quit reached those steps yet, but he is very observant.  It is fine by us if he wants to take his time because the faster he moves the sooner we will have to invest in some baby gates.  Well enjoy the photos below.  A video and stats on his 6 Month Appointment will come tomorrow.  

Matthew's TB t-shirt

Grandma and Papa (Ryan's parents) made Matthew a nice t-shirt to wear to the UVA basketball games.  Hopefully one day we can get Matthew and TB in a picture together :)

I cannot believe Matthew will Be 6 Months Next Tuesday!

Here are few photos I have taken of him in the last week or two.  He just gets more alert and notices what is going on around him.  He definitely knows who mom is too :)  I absolutely LOVE being home with him!

Matthew's Rice Cereal Trial

As the doc said, we are trying a tablespoon of rice cereal a few times before his 6 month appointment next week.  Here is the trial video and a couple pics.  I think he actually really likes it now, he understands when I drink out of my water bottle that he too wants the water bottle.  It is cute considering he hasn't had a bottle in forever, since I am pretty much still exclusively nursing.  As you can tell from the pics he wants to try the spoon himself too.  It has been fun, but I have to admit it has been nice not having to actually prepare any food for him. Attaching him to me is the easy way :)  





I just wonder when he will roll over as he hasn't done that yet.  He gets close :) We'll just wait and see as I am sure he will surprise me one day and then I will wish he wasn't on the move, ha.

Matthew at a little over 5.5 Months :)

Matthew has been hanging out with Owen a few times this week and Owen is really liking Matthew.  He is so gentle and loving towards him.  Owen likes teaching Matthew new things.  The best which I could not capture in a picture today is Matthew was winning in the excer saucer, so Owen gave Matthew Owen's blankie.  He thought he would share since it makes him feel better.  They are so cute together :) Thanks Suzanne for letting me share the fun with Owen!  Matthew and I love hanging out with you all!

Matthew is sporting his Wisconsin Gear thanks to his Aunt Kendra!  Kendra, I think Matthew likes his new outfit.  Thank you for sharing your Badger love with Matthew :)
