Matthew is six weeks old today!!! Praise God! A couple of days ago, I started feeding him around every four hours and he's done well. He's doing much better with his feedings - we don't have to poke and prod him quite as much. It's been almost two weeks since he's thrown up. He noticed his fist this week - had that cute crosseyed look when he was looking at it :o) Matthew holds his head up - for what seems to be - a long time when one of us is holding him. He's also been smiling at us more - that's the biggest treat!!
One of the great things about Mark teaching at the university is the pool of babysitters that we now have! Mark arranged for Matthew's first sitter tomorrow so that we can go out for a movie and sushi - all about forty minutes away.
God has been good to us old, first time parents!!

Awwwwwww, he does look LONG!! I like Dad's suggestion of cutting Matthew's little outfits at the middle and putting rubber bands to make them longer. Leave it to DAD!! By the way, we DO have a lot of rubber bands if you go that route! haha Hey, he's 7 weeks old now, isn't he? Oh well....Dad and I are going to leap away to Vincennes. It has been a long time. Love you bunches...Mom
Hey maybe he has a little of Grandma in him - I like to have my head partially covered when sleeping, too. Wish I could baby sit for him tomorrow!
Give your men a hug and kiss, Mom
OH, he is SO cute! I remember the first time we left Christopher with a babysitter...I was so nervous...and it was Frank and Manndi Rodgers, no less...
but in the end, I enjoyed the time out with my hubby, more than I could imagine!
Now we often take two squirmy little boys to dinner...with one or two date nights out a month!! Enjoy that time... the plethora of babysitters will SERVE YOU WELL!!
