Welcome Matthew

In the midst of sleep deprivation, diaper changing and nursing on demand every 2-3 hours over the past 3 weeks, it has dawned on me that I have not written a post about the new addition to our family.

Matthew Wilson Longfellow

5 lbs 15 oz, 19 in

September 29, 2011 (due 10.3.11)

2:23 a.m.

He is so precious, curious, and calm (the majority of the time). He likes to watch his big sister and observe his surroundings. He waves his arms with force to send a message (which is usually "hey mama, it's feeding time!!") Big sister Leah loves him to pieces and is always repeating everything I say to him like a little mama. She follows me around with her potty (aka step stool... still working on the potty part) so she can see and talk to Matthew while I change him or give him a bath. She gives him lots (and I mean LOTS) of hugs and kisses.

Here are some pictures over the past 3 weeks. I will try to be better about updating :)

Enjoying some time on the patio...

Had to figure a way to give Leah a bath mid-day... bouncy seat!
