Matthew 13 weeks

Out of curiosity and because Matthew will be 3 months old tomorrow (and I'm slightly obsessed with his weight!) I wanted to find out what he currently weighs. Not sure if you can see the number on the scales but it is tipped at over 7kg. Matthew continues to delight and amaze us each day. For the past few nights he has been rewarding us (me especially) with only the one nocturnal feed. He is sleeping from 7pm till 2am, has a feed and goes back to sleep till 7am in the morning. We hope this continues :)

Hi All,
This has got to be one of my favourite photos of Matthew! He's so cute and cubby here :)

Nothing much to report this week. Matthew is his usual self, grumpy on some days and an angel on others. Usually is a mixture of both all in the one day. Here are some pictures of our Matthew taken in the past 7 days.

As the weather warms up, we have had more outings with Matthew in the baby carrier. Today I bought him a brimmed hat to protect him from the sun. I'm not sure whether he likes the hat, but he looks very cute (and grown up) in it.

Here's a photo of Matthew in the Baby Bjorn sound asleep and looking very adorable.

Matthew 11 weeks

This past week our little boy has been showing us his grumpy side. He knows when it's time for a feed, when he's had enough sleep, when he's bored in his bouncer or when he's done in the bath and he's not afraid to tell us.

He continues to develop his gross motor and cognitive skills. He is showing interest in objects around him and will reach out to touch it. We will often observe him studying his own fist with interest. On Wed morning I'd discovered that he had dragged a toy towards him and was nibbling on it.

Here are a couple of movies which I took on my phone of Matthew at play which I've uploaded to YouTube for easy access:
