Matthew's Laugh and Learn Puppy is programmed to once and a while spit out a phrase for the babies. This morning, I think the batteries are dying because it's talking non-stop... it keeps saying "I'm SOOOOOO big!".... which is a perfect intro to this post, because Matthew is getting SOOOO big!
He was at the doctors this week for a checkup and weighed 11lb 12 oz. So, bye-bye to the Newborn clothes! They have already all been packed up :o( even all his onesies were too short already. What worries me is the 3mo clothes say for up to 13 lb.. yikes! I guess that means we move into 6 month clothes shortly and just roll up the sleeves until he fits them!
Next week, we go to visit Grandpa and Grandma in Saskatoon. We will be taking a ride on an airplane together for the first time! I'm sure I will have stories to share about that. Thank goodness the first time we try this, we only have to fly for an hour :o)
More next week....

Happy Father's Day!
Matthew decided to give Daddy the best first Father's Day present ever.... he started smiling like crazy today!
We knew they were real smiles when we went in to get him from a nap and he was looking right at us and smiling away and smiling when we would make funny faces or put a toy in front of him.... those smiles definitely weren't gas!
Of course, he hasn't learned to smile on command yet though, so you kind of have to take our word for it. The pictures below are just a fraction of the big toothless grins we were getting out of him today!

Round and Round The Kitchen We Go...
I just managed to put Matthew down for a nap, I won't say it's for the night yet, because he usually doesn't go to bed for good until after 11. Yesterday, he seemed to want to nap all day.. today, not at all!
After 78 laps around the kitchen island while bouncing and singing at the same time, he fell asleep! I've already learned that that doesn't mean you can rush to put him down.. oh no, if you do that, he's bound to wake up the second I put him down. Instead, I need to walk/bounce/sing one step at a time all the way up the stairs, then continue for 5 minutes up and down the hall and then try to put him down!
On Thursday, my co-workers threw a baby shower for Matthew and I. It was a lot of fun and Matthew was spoiled with lots of toys and gifts! See below for some pictures from the day.
One of the gifts that we got is called a Fisher Price Learning Puppy. It is a cute stuffed dog that sings all kinds of songs and ABC's, etc. Although it is meant for 6 mos+, Matthew seems to really enjoy hearing the songs that the puppy sings, so we've been playing with it a lot. And so...
I used to go through the day and often have the latest Country song going through my head... today, over and over again in my head, it went like this.... "do your ears hang low, do they wobble to and frow...." sheesh! I'm only 1 month into Mommyhood and baby songs have already invaded my brain!
The other day, Matthew and I were stuck in a traffic jam on Deerfoot (big surprise). Matthew loves car rides as long as we're moving; he can tell as soon as we get into traffic and he announces his displeasure as well. So, Mommy has learned that singing will get him to stop fussing. At this point in the game, I can only remember so many kids songs, so I just start making stuff up. And when you really get into it, your head starts bobbing, you start tapping on the steering wheel, etc. ..
Oops, and you forget that you're stopped in the middle of the freeway with cars on either side and some young guy in the car next to you is laughing his head off! oh well! I bet he'll be singing in the car one day too.
I haven't caught Darren singing yet - I think he's trying to be Mr. cool with Matthew, but I bet when Mommy's not home they're singing up a storm as well!
