Sleeping babies are precious

Dad took a picture of Matthew last night in his crib.  Matthew was on his tummy sucking his thumb.  His favorite night time position.

(Just in case someone views this and starts to think we are bad parents for having him on his stomach while sleeping, Matthew rolled over onto his tummy himself!)

Weekend Fun

The family took a trip to Keystone Lake on Saturday.  Annalese, Robert, and Dad swam in the lake while Mom and Matthew enjoyed the sunshine.

On Sunday, Annalese went to work with Dad.  What the professional Annalese was in her pink Polo shirt and Kacki pants!  Robert had mommy/son time.  We went to church and then headed to the bike track.  Beautiful day for everyone. 

Carrots are Good!

Matthew Peter tried carrots for the first time on Friday, July 8th.  Wow he really liked them. Didn't make a face when he tried them, and he ate a whole serving!

July 4th Weekend 2011

What an exciting weekend!  Matther Peter tried cereal for the first time on Saturday, July 2nd and seemed to really enjoy it.  He ate the whole bowl of his rice cereal.  We went to two parties that afternoon: a birthday party at Squaw Park for Daddy's cousin's daughter, and a July 4th party at Paul and Kathy's house.  Annalese and Robert played so hard at both places and were definitely ready for bed that night.  Aunt Kacki came up on Sunday to spend time with us.  We were able to make a fire and roast marshmellows for s'mores.  Yum!  On the 4th Annalese, Robert, and Dad played with water balloons, and then later in the afternoon, the entire family went to the bike track for some exercise. 
Annalese and Robert had a great weekend with all of the fun-filled activities.  Matthew Peter also enjoyed his weekend as he cooed and talked all evening on the 4th of July.  It is so wonderful to see one's own children so happy!

Happy Four Month Birthday Matthew

Another month has gone by and Matthew keeps getting cuter and cuter.  He really likes rolling around and is cooing and giggling much more.  I have started reading him bedtime stories.  He seems to like them, but he really enjoys eating  the books more at this point.  I know he will be a reader like his older sister and brother.  Matthew Peter spent the day with mom taking Annalese and Robert to summer camp and then home for a nap.  He went with Annalese to a friend's birthday party, and then it was off with brother and sister to Tae Kwon Do.  Mom walked Matther Peter around Aspinwall while the kids were in class.  He was very busy and went to bed right on time at 7:30.  He is growing so quickly.  Mom wishes she could keep him like this for a bit longer.  Matthew, I am so glad you are part of our family!

Happy Three Month Birthday

Happy three month birthday to Matthew! (I know, I am four days behind)  He is such a fantastic baby and is so cute right now.  He has been smiling and giggling quite a bit.  And oh how he loves his thumbs. I could keep him like this forever!

Rolling Along

Matthew rolled over for the first time today! And he didn't even mind being on his tummy. So proud of him.
