Thanksgiving

This year we celebrated Thanksgiving with the Gardner's. Hard to believe that next year Matt will be eating dinner with us, but this year he got to sit in his highchair and just enjoy the view. He also had his 4 month check up earlier this week, he weighed in at 11lbs 15oz and 24.5 inches long. He have a tall and skinny baby, who is still in his 0-3 month clothing, but he is growing and doing well and for that we are blessed. Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

My parents came in for a quick visit the weekend before Thanksgiving, they needed a quick Matty fix before Christmas. They loved it and couldn't believe how big Matt is getting. They even got to enjoy watching OSU beat MICHIGAN!!

November is almost over

Hard to believe our baby boy is almost 4 months old, next week he goes back to the doctor for some shots and his check-up. Matt is truly a blessing, such a good baby, very easy temperament. He loves to suck on his hands and you can always get him to crack a smile. We love watching him play and interact with the world around him. Enjoy the random photos.

1st Halloween

After raining all week, we finally had a nice day. For Matt's first Halloween I decided to make his costume, he was a little scarecrow. His costume turned out great and he was very good for the most part.

"Okay mom, I am done with these pictures"

With four kids under the age of four, it was near impossible to get a picture where everyone was looking, but oh well

Random Pictures

Chase and Matt have become little buddies, Chase is so good with him. He loves to hold Matt and will pat his head and say, "It's alright, I am here, I will protect you." So cute.

Life is good

I know that Matt gets his love of tv from his Daddy, but it is crazy how fascinated he is when the tv is on. There have been times that he has turned his entire body so that he can see the tv.

Matt is really starting to focus in on things and loves playing on the floor with his activity mat that Great Grandma Soeder got for him, below is a quick video of him playing.
