Celebration

Off to go party it up for cousin Claire's first birthday!

Happy Valentines Day!

Two Months Old

Time flies! Matthew turned 2 months last week. He weighs in at 11.65 lbs and a whopping 25" long... I can't believe he grew 5" in two months! It has been a wonderful 9 weeks. He has started to smile and just yesterday he was imitating me sticking my tongue out. He is starting to have more head control and tracks toys on his toy mat. Matty might be a soccer or track star one day too because he loves to kick his feet and wiggle. No more laying him down on the changing table and walking away. He kicks and squirms his way onto his side. No rolling over yet (a little too early for that) but he can definitely move his way around his crib at night!

Robyn Ivy Photography

We were blessed by a visit from good friend Robyn a couple weeks ago and she brought her camera with her to take pictures of Matthew. She is talented beyond words and completely captured his little personality emerging! As her company slogan says... Life. Simply. Beautiful.

9lbs and counting!

Matthew's most recent weight check has him at 9lbs 2oz! Our boy is getting big! And quite handsome if I do say so myself :-)

Besties & Babies

What a great weekend! Sharyn drove up from New Jersey with baby Christopher (9 months old) for a visit. We had a wonderful girls day with all the kids - Ava Rose, James, Corey, Christopher, Matthew, and Nicholas. No Eric but he's almost a preteen so who could blame him! So much cuteness and love it makes my heart melt.

1 Month Old

Happy 1 Month Birthday to Matthew! It is hard to believe that it has already been one month since our sweet baby boy arrived. He is growing so fast. At his one month check up today he weighed in at 8lbs 14oz with a length of 22 1/2" and a head circumference of 15 1/2. Percentiles are 26, 86, and 75 respectively. We have a string bean on our hands - tall and thin. Taking after mom and dad already!

With the added weight has come added sleep for us too. He does stretches of 3 to 4 hours most nights! Let's hope he keeps it up.

Best Buds

Today Matthew met the newest member of the cannoli family Nicholas who was born Dec 24th. The boys are 18 days apart. Trouble in the making for sure!

Oh... And we didn't even plan to have them dressed alike. Too funny!

Happy 4 week birthday

First Stroll

With the temperatures being mild today, Matthew and I ventured our for our first walk in the neighborhood. And let me just say I love the baby jogger summit XC. Best. Stroller. Ever.

Oh. And Matthew got to show off his new hat!

Bath Time!

We finally gave Matthew his first tuba! And he really liked it. Future swimmer?!?!

Gaining!

On Matthew's three week birthday we got great news at our lactation appointment... He gained 7.5 oz in 5 days - weighing in at 8.2lbs!!! Our boy is back on track!

First Christmas

This year Christmas was extra special with the arrival of Matthew. What better gift could we ask for!

It was also his Cousin Claire's first Christmas! A very exciting year for the Musci's and Wainer's.

And Matthew's new friend Nicholas was born December 24th. We couldn't be happier for Stacy and Fred!
