Matthew 4 Months

Matthew is now a BIG 4 Months OLD!  He is starting to do so much.  He rolls over onto his stomach, and now prefers to be on his stomach.  He rolled over onto the hard wood the other day and started scooting using his arms.  This happened only once so far and I hope it stays that way for a while.  He just had his first taste of solids (oatmeal cereal) which he didn't seem to enjoy too much.  He laughs and smiles a ton.  Anything within his reach he grabs.  He sucks his thumb every once in a while, which I think is super cute.  He drools like crazy, as you can tell in the photos, just waiting for his teeth to appear!  His naps are becoming short and sweet, so we are working on that.  He loves his brother and loves to be held.  He weighs in at 18 lbs 14 oz. (95th%), He is 27.56" (100%), and his head is 45.5 cm (100%).  So pretty much he is growing like a weed!  He still makes little noises when he eats and sleeps, sounds like a little chipmunk.  I just love his smiles and coo's!

Thanksgiving

This year we spent Thanksgiving at home.  The boys and I picked Celia up in the morning and brought her back to our house.  It was such a beautiful day!  The sun was shining and the air was perfectly crisp.  Celia and I got to go for a run together, our own turkey trot!  We attempted to take family pictures in the afternoon and then had our feast. David helped me with our name cards and setting the table.  Doug smoked the turkey this year, which was seriously the best turkey I have ever had.  I was a little sad for a minute that we weren't with all my family that gathered in Utah, but it turned out to be a great day!  We are slowly making our own traditions!
