High Chair

Matthew is in love with his high chair and starts giggling when I put him in his chair. Last night he got to experience sweet potatoes for the first time. He loved it just as much as the prunes. Today we are going to experiment with pears and see how his taste buds react. It is just so much fun to see him becoming a little boy that wants to absorb everything going on around him. He was very intent on watching me eat popcorn and his eyes would go from my hand going to the bowl all the way to my mouth. Now I just need to make sure he does not grab a piece and pop it into his mouth! :)

New Word

Yesterday while on the changing table Matthew uttered a new word clear as day. Poo Poo kept coming out of his mouth over and over again. We could not stop laughing when we heard him say it the first time. The only problem is he now says poo poo all the time and we cannot get him to stop! This morning after I changed his diaper it sound like he said go poo poo but he had not done anything. I only wish that his next word could have been dad or mom rather than poo poo. Oh well!

Prunes????

Yes, my son is in love with prunes. Yesterday he experienced his first fruit and it was love at first bite. He ate a whole package of Gerber 1st Food yesterday between two sittings. I think he loved the sweet taste of it because when he finished the prunes and was still a little hungry I gave him some rice cereal and got a funny face. I ended up putting the cereal in the prune container to get some the last bits mixed in so it was a little sweeter. He ate up the cereal with the fruit mixed in so I think rice cereal alone is a no go going forward.

4 Months Old

Matthew turned 4 months on August 9th and it was amazing to look back at the pictures of him the past few months and relish on how much he has grown and changed. Matthew now rolls from the back to the tummy and thinks it is the best thing in the whole wide world. The only problem is he has forgotten that he can roll back onto his back!!!! He will get angry and after listening to him cry for awhile mommy or daddy gives in and rolls him back. However, he will roll right back to the tummy seconds later!

He is also trying to move as much as possible. I swear he can wiggle into any spot. A couple of days ago I tried to pick him up on the front so he could try to crawl but instead he stood up. I think he would rather walk than crawl.

Matthew has two fav toys which are the saucer so he can stand up and a bee. The bee vibrates and he does not want to go any place without his bee. He has also started to enjoy Sesame Street and cartoons. He laughs and smiles while watching the shows.

Overall is brings more joy to us than we ever dreamed. We cannot wait to see what is in store in the next month.
