Matthew Has A Lot To Say . . .

Matthew is growing and doing well. He talks all of the time and is so much happier! He sleeps through the night and has finally started a morning routine that is like clock work. I'm still working on a routine for the afternoon. I'm all about the schedule (it works best for the kids and me).

I have one more week at home and will be heading back to work 3 days a week the following week. Hopefully, Matthew will adjust to the new routine and take it easy on his sitter. We have several doctor's appointments next week and Matthew will finally start on his immunizations. He had his last RSV vaccine today and was released from Home Health Care. One less thing!!!

Matthew's personality is really developing. He is so funny. He talks and talks and talks (I have no idea where he gets that trait) and loves chewing on his hands. Taylor is his main source of entertainment and she can get him to laugh quicker than anybody. His new thing is to blow bubbles and make a funny noise while doing it. He is so interactive and we are enjoying every minute of it.

Matthew is a Momma's boy and I love it. Taylor has always been a Daddy's girl so it's nice to have my time too! Sorry for the lack of updates. We are enjoying the quiet time and living a normal life again. I will update next week after all of the doctor appointments. By the way, Matthew hit 13 lbs today and we felt like throwing a party. What a milestone!! He will be back on the charts before we know it.

By the way, Craig and I have volunteered to answer telephones for the Children's Miracle Network telethon that will be aired on NBC in June. Matthew will probably get to sit with Mom during the TOUCH hour which is for all of the heart kids that have stayed at the Children's Hospital in Peoria. We will be providing some information on how you can help make the telethon a success for us very soon.

Have a great day!
