Cute little boy

Matthew got these clothes from Katie and Sue at my baby shower and I found the hat for about two bucks that goes with it! Unfortunately Matthew has grown out of the outfit, just thought the pic was cute and wanted to share!

Update: Nothing out of the ordinary, just enjoying our baby and Devon is so so close to finishing his thesis! Yay!!

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.

5 Generations

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!

Christmas

Told ya he was spoiled!

Christmas jammies!!!

Dev got new basketball shorts and Matthew got a basketball outfit for when he's a little older so he can be like daddy.

Alright, I do not update my blog enough, but hopefully I can start doing better. I'd like to blog about the little things that go on, but it seems I do it so infrequently I end up writing a book about what has gone on since last writing. So here we go, today's topic, Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas! It was Matthew's first. He was super spoiled!! We had so much fun. His stocking was about the same size as him. Some fun gifts he received were; a play gym, a little camping chair, a plush toolbox, dum-dums, books, bath toys, clothes, a blanket and even more! We spent Christmas and Christmas Eve running around like usual even though we said we weren't going to do it now that we have a baby. But that's what happens when you have so much family nearby. We're very lucky. I wouldn't trade it. Dev and I were both very spoiled as well this year. We had an amazing 2009! We were so so blessed and we're continuing to be blessed in 2010. Love our life!
