Oh Boy! I'm ONE month old!

Hi everyone,

Ok, first off, sorry for not posting anything in the last week.. it was a busy one for some reason! I'm glad everyone is enjoying the blog, because I got a lot of e-mails inquiring as to why there were no posts! Not to worry, everything is fine!

Last week, Grandma and Grandpa came by for a short visit on their way to Edmonton to see Uncle Brian graduate from medicine. Matthew enjoyed having extra attention again, and Mommy was able to get a few hours of Mommy time in as well!

On the weekend, we took Matthew to my boss' house to visit with some of my co-workers. He was a good boy and slept the entire time!

Yesterday, Matthew had his 4 week check-up. All is fine! Doctors are funny though... I think because Matthew was breech and it took him a while to straighten his legs, we seem to continuously get different height readings from the doctors. The nurse that took the reading this time measured the same thing as last time and so when the doctor input it on the graph it didn't look like he was growing at all. He said to me "well, nothing we can do about it, he's just not going to be very tall.." Then he came to the table and took one look at Matthew's long legs and said "oh, ignore everything I said, those graphs are never right... he's going to be tall!"

Matthew has started to enjoy is play gym... he loves to look at the baby in the mirror! He has also started to grab at the toys hanging above him. In fact, He just discovered that he has hands a few days ago! Now, Mommy has to stop wearing a chain for fear it will be ripped off, and Matthew has to realize that he is hurting himself when he pulls on his hair! It's hard not to chuckle because he grabs handfuls of his hair and then wimpers when it must hurt! Luckily, he hasn't really discovered that it's fun to suck on his thumb too much.. I've caught him once or twice, but it hasn't become a routine thing.

Well, that's all for now.. Check back in a few days for some more pics posted.
