Matthew’s 2nd week is almost finished and we are all adjusting to the little guy. Julie and I are learning what a full term newborn is all about, and Katie is adjusting well also. She wanted a lot of our attention before Matty was born, and that hasn’t changed. She loves her big sister role, and tries to help out whenever she can.
The biggest change with Matty vs. the first few weeks with Katie is our ability to accept visitors and take him out. Besides repeated doctor visits, Matty has already been to the park, Katie’s tumbling class, and to a restaurant. We’re looking forward to an active summer with him in tow!
Bringing him home on time!
With Grandma Linda.
Finally the big sister!
My growing family. I sure love them!
We’re getting about 8 hours of sleep, but it’s broken up throughout the day and night. Afternoon naps are critical.
Grandpa Orvin came over on Father’s day and held his grandson for the first time.
Aunt Joy.
Matty asleep at the park. He can sure make silly expressions when he sleeps.
Katie has discovered the monkey bars. She loves to climb!
The rope climb is quickly becoming a favorite also.
Katie slept (sort of) in the same chair when she was a baby.
Gas. Oh yeah.
Matty sleeps like this often. I wonder if we’ll see this pose continued through childhood.
Safe in big sister’s lap.
