September Outings and Pics

Here are some pics of our life for this month.  We went on our first family of 4 hike on Labor Day up near Granite Falls, WA.  It was beautiful and Matthew and David both did superb! David has so much energy, he would do just find on some longer hikes.  Doug was gone for a week, so the boys and I took a trip down to Diana's in Shelton.  It was a nice getaway, and we always love seeing them!  We also went down to the state fair in Puyallup.  We all had a good time, David especially had a blast with all the animals and yummy treats!  Other than that we have pretty much done our day to day routines.  We go on walks to the park, read, have snack time, play with the dogs, play ball, paint, dance, have bath time and so much more.  I love my job of being a mom!      

Matthew 1 Month

Matthew is now almost 7 weeks old.  We had his 1 month visit 2 weeks ago and as of then he is was 13 lbs and 5 oz., and 24 inches tall.  He is in the 94th percentile for his weight and in the 100th percentile for his height.  I wish I could keep him this small forever!  He smiles now, and is a lot more alert and awake.  For the first few weeks of his life he didn't cry very often, but he is now learning how to get my attention.  David loves to hold him and gives him lots of kisses.  We are in love with this little guy.
