SOLID FOOD!

Matthew loves to eat!  He has now tried rice cereal, carrots, squash, and sweet potatoes.  Squash seems to be his favorite right now but he has eaten everything we have offered so far.  We are about to try a few more veggies and some fruit and we are hoping he continues to like everything! 

He opens his mouth wide and often says "Mmmmm" in between bites.  It is really funny!  We try to hide his hands down by his side so he doesn't reach up and grab the spoon or put his hands in his mouth...he loves to suck his thumb in between bites for some reason!  It looks cute but makes a huge mess! 

Here are pictures from a few of his messier mornings!


Carrots for the first time...not so sure about this!


I think I like it...and definitely like to make a mess with it :)
I love squash...even though I refuse to smile!

Mmmmm!

 

5 Months Old

Matthew turned 5 months old on January 19th.  He weighs almost 15 pounds now!  He gained 2 pounds this last month because he is such a good eater!  He loves his rice cereal and has now tried squash, carrots, and sweet potatoes.  So far he likes it all!  He opens his mouth wide and eats every last bit :) 

Matthew learned to roll over from his back to his tummy this month.  He loves to roll now and spends most of his time on his tummy.  He is reaching for his toys and trying to sit up.  His little legs are constantly moving so I think we are going to have our hands full with a very active little boy! 
We have gotten out the exersaucer and the doorway jumper.  He is still a little small for them but really starting to like both.

He is starting to reach for our faces...and everything else he can get his hands on!  I love it when he reaches up and pats my cheek like he is just making sure it's me :)  That is much nicer than when he goes for Brandon's glasses or my hair! 

We are starting to get into a routine with him...sleeping is still not his favorite thing to do so we are working on that! 

Our photo sessions are getting more and more difficult!  He was not in the mood to give a good smile and definitely didn't want to sit still when we took his 5 month photos...I am sure this will just continue to get harder!  We love this active little guy :)

One last Christmas post

We were lucky to spend Matthew's first Christmas with so much family.  We spent Christmas Day at our house and my mom's house.  Matthew was spoiled by his aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, great aunts, great grandparents...he is one lucky little boy!

Sweet cousins...Matthew loves Ben and Zach :)
