Matthew Smiles!

On Valentine's Day I got the best surprise gift...Matthew smiled at me! It took a while to get it on camera, but his happiest and most smile times are in the early morning after his breakfast, early afternoon after lunch, and usually while we are eating dinner. Anyway, here he goes...starting to smile...

almost there...

SMILE!!!

The kids still love having a baby brother and sharing everything with him...they made sure he was included in family movie night...

Abbey wants to hold Matthew all the time.  I am constantly asking her to put him down so he can stretch and move on his own on the floor.  But it is cute and Matthew does actually really like being held by his siblings.

Since Matthew is Child #4, he unfortunately spends a lot of time in his car seat - his siblings are busy little people!  Luckily, he doesn't seem to mind it, although I know at some point it will become a problem.

Have I mentioned that we are desperately seeking spring???
