4 Month Check Up

Matthew had his four month check up today. He weighs fifteen pounds and I'm pretty sure he was twenty six inches long. He is in the ninetieth percentile for height and fiftieth for his head circumference and weight. So he's tall for his age, where could he get that from...?? :) He had to have his immunizations today which are not fun for me or him, but he did well. All in all the doctor said he was "perfect". I can't ask for more, I'm so blessed to have such a healthy, happy baby. Oh, and here's a cute picture of him. It's from another day, but he's cute so I'm putting it up. :)

Valentine's!!!

Happy Valentine's Day! We had an amazing Valentine's Eve and Day! We went out to eat with my parents and little brother at TGI Fridays. Yummy. My Valentine's present is a new ring!!! I'm so excited, we bought it last night and can pick it up Friday. If you didn't know, my ring was lost in Utah Lake a year and a half ago :( Devon got doritos and reeses from me. Doesn't sound like much, but after my ring, he only wanted a nerds rope :) Matthew got a little whale tub toy and rice cereal from us. My parents gave Matthew a cute onesie, pants, and bubbles. My Grandma gave him a little card and gave us really cute Valentine's bowls with yummy treats in them. Grandma and Grandpa Sandquist gave us cards with money and a teddy bear for Matthew. Grandma Newman gave me a cute Valentine's basket with goodies. Today we started a tradition of a Valentine's Day breakfast. It was yummy and I'm excited to continue it as we have more kids and they get older. We had an amazing night/day and I'm so lucky to have my two Valentines.

This is a picture of my Great Grandma Hickman, her daughter my Grandma Sandquist, her son my dad, me, and my baby boy Matthew. So neat to have.

Rice Cereal..Yum!

Matthew has been waking up about every three hours on the dot to eat even during the night. He's almost four months so we decided to try out rice cereal to fill up his tummy more. He seemed to like it and did really well. He's adorable, we love him!! He would be a cute Gerber baby! PS Ignore all the stuff on the table :)

Baby Blessing

Matthew Devon Newman was blessed on January 3rd, 2010. Devon blessed him and did a beautiful job. He was so worried, not because of all the people, but because he wanted to make sure not to let Matthew down and give him everything he needs in his blessing. It was so sweet. It was a beautiful blessing, Matthew was lucky to have about fourteen people in his circle who love him so much! After we had a nice lunch with friends and family. Thanks to everyone for your help, love, and support!
