Still getting used to this

I was trying to put the slideshow in the left hand column so it wasn't so in your face but I can't seem to figure it out. It just won't work for me. I have so many pictures to post it is crazy. I wanted to add a couple slideshows one from the hospital and a new one with more current pictures of Matthew. I will keep playing with it I guess. Also, I can't figure out how to delete the other one. Oh well.



I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend. Ours was quite busy but we had a great time. Matthew had what I am calling his first smile at himself in the mirror over the weekend. He has also switched from sleeping in his bassinet to sleeping in his crib.




Another Matthew "first" this past week was that he found his thumb by mistake and sucked on it for a little while. He is growing up so fast! I am trying not to think about going back to work but it is coming so quickly.



Hope everyone is having a good start to their summer. I can't wait to share more pictures with you when I figure out how to work the slideshow feature properly.

Pictures of Matthew from the hospital

Welcome to our blog!

First, I would like to give credit to my Sister-in-Law Timille and friend Trisha for inspiring me to start this blog. I had been thinking about it before but seeing theirs made me excited to make one. Hopefully, Matthew will let me spend time to work on it. I thought it would be a great way for family and friends to keep up with the changes that we go through as Matthew grows up.

I feel like he is already growing out of control. I already miss the days when he was a brand new baby. At the same time I am excited that he has figured out night and day now and he is starting to sleep 6 hours at a time at night when he wants to. Those first few nights were pretty rough. Especially not being able to go to sleep until 6 in the morning our second night in the hospital.

He seems to maybe be starting to figure out how to smile. We have to work pretty hard for it but he will occasionally smile at us and we don't think it is just gas. He isn't really into his toys yet but we try to get him to play every day. He has so many that when he does understand what they are he should be the happiest boy in the world. Thanks everyone for all of the wonderful gifts.

Both sets of Grandparents are totally in love with Matthew and it is fun to see them get to spend time with him too. It is hard for me to give him up though, I don't know how I am going to be able to go back to work. I am already dreading the day and it is almost 6 weeks away yet.

I will write more later, I want to try to get some pictures posted as well.

Thanks for checking out the new blog!
