They Grow Up So Fast....

Matthew is 6 weeks old now and growing more and more each day. He had a check up on Monday and is already 12 pounds 2 oz and 23 inches long. He holds his head up and looks around all the time now and is starting to get the hang of tummy time. He is also spending more and more time awake the last few days, checking out the world around him the whole time.


Katelyn is doing great with potty training. She has not had any accidents in 2 weeks and always tells us when she needs to go. She has started playing "Dora the Explorer" in the car on the way home. Dora is her favorite show. She especially likes to play out being Swiper the Fox and swiping our stuff, like the character in the show does. She then tells the story of what we have to do in order to get our stuff back, just like Dora does in each episode. It has been really neat to see her imagination grow along with her ability to tell the story.


Katelyn is also still loving being the big sister. She bring Matthew his passy, covers him with his blankets, helps with giving him baths and holds him at least once a day. She also likes to sing him songs and it is her job to calm him down if he gets fussy in the car. She does a great job with that. He enjoys looking at her from his bouncy seats and sticks his tongue out at her when she gets in his face. She needs to be careful, though, because Matthew tends to spit up a lot and if she gets too close just after he eats, she gets a surprise. ;)
