Matthew 17 weeks

Little Matthew who will be 4 mths old on the 28th of September is a strapping young lad and more like a little boy each day. Its easy to forget that he's still a baby. Matthew was 7.5 kgs when weighed yesterday.  We are planning to offer him his first taste of baby rice cereal soon although he is growing quite happily and healthily on breastmilk alone.

Anyone who has spent time with Matthew recently will know that he is now far more active. He'll roll over onto his tummy at every opportunity, including when in is cot. He still can't quite figure out what to do once he's on his tummy though except cry in frustration. He needs plenty of interaction and physical play to be kept occupied during his wakeful periods. This has kept me very busy. I guess this is good training in preparation for the next milestone - crawling!

We also think that he might be starting to teeth as he has been more unsettled over the past couple of days and had bright pink cheeks.

Matthew is booked in at playgroup every Monday starting 19th October until the end of the year. He'll also be starting swimming lessons/aqua play with Dad on Saturdays from the 10th of October.

I've posted new videos and pics as usual at the same locations.
Here's a very peaceful looking Matthew to drool over:
