Matthew

I took Matthew in for his 6 month check up last week. He weighed 16 pounds and 9 ounces. He went from the 50th percentile to the 25th. He's a runt!! (Okay, his height was 27.5 inches and that's the 75th percentile so not completely a runt.) It would help if he would eat. He refuses solid food and just the last two days will he take a formula bottle. The doctor suggested supplementing mostly to help him sleep through the night. He doesn't do that either. In fact he has completely regressed and is back to waking up 3 or 4 times a night. Does anyone want to guess at my mental capacities after a night like that? However we still think he is adorable. He cut both his bottom teeth in the past two weeks and is sitting up more and more. He loves to be in the same place where his brothers are playing. He loves to fall asleep with a blanket over his face and rubs his blanket on his cheeks when he's falling asleep. Then I have to remember to go back in there and pull it off after he falls asleep. These pictures are of the boys after baths and in their pjs. I love these pajamas' of Matthew's (thanks, Amber!). And you can see the nice tans Jacob and Adam are sporting these days after all the time spent at the pool.

Matthew loves to chew and chew and chew. Everything goes in his mouth. Yes, he's been teething but it's not just that. My mom bought him this cute set up sea animal bath toys and Matthew LOVES to chew on them. In this picture he has the turtle's entire head in his mouth. YUM-O!

And Matthew's next favorite thing to chew on is his toes. Double YUM-O!
