February 2008 - My first four weeks
 
 
Being born on January 29th allowed me to have my first month of life in February.  During this month I experienced many firsts - first bath time, first holiday (Valentine's Day), first weigh in after leaving the hospital (1 pound in 4 days!), first tornado (just 10 miles away) and first snow storm (4 inches)!  I was also very blessed to have so many people thinking about me and sending me wonderful gifts of clothes and toys.  Thank you to everyone who took a moment to send something to me.  I will put each of your items to good use and maybe you will catch me wearing or using them in a photo on this site sometime.  Here are some photos from baby Matthew's first month:
 
 

Hey gorgeous, how you doin'?

Ok I've had enough can you get me out of here before I start my Elvis upper lip impersonation?

During my first month of life I often liked to sleep with my arms above my head while riding in my rocker... 

All cozy with my blanket and burp cloth from the Sweet P Collection made by my Mom's friends Stephanie and Kristin.

Valentine's Day was my first holiday and my parents put me in this very girly outfit for the day. I was only 16 days old when this photo was taken.

Of course being a proper boy I spit up on it as quickly as possible and got a change...

Mommy loves to hold me for photos even when I don't want to be photographed...

It is better to just clown around with her and give big grins.

Lookin' good with my beautiful Mommy in one of my many outfits with a dog on it.

When my parents put me in my car seat to go out of the house sometimes they don't get me in straight, they then laugh, maybe take a photo like this one, and fix me...

If you bounce me on your legs and mash up my head and body I have a double chin:)

Bath time is always fun.  Here is me in one of my first baths just hanging out and enjoying the warm water.  I am good at bath time after I have ensured that there is a bit of pee in the bath water...

I love to try to lift my head up when I am being burped by my Daddy.
