For today, I'll do Matthew:
Matthew has been getting so big!

He has been cooing, laughing, and smiling SO MUCH!! Though Matthew has had a bit of a cold so his coos and cries are a little hoarse and raspy sounding. It's sad, but also kinda cute.
His sleep is AWESOME! He wakes up only once at night, and one time didn't wake up until 5am, then went back to sleep for another 1.5 hours! He is a championship napper taking two or three hour naps at a time. It is a little tricky getting him relaxed enough with Michael running around, but once I get him down, he stays down.

There have been times this week when I've been napping at the same time as Matthew while Michael Sr runs after Michael Jr...and Matthew has woken up, made a little noise, then looks at me and sees me lying in bed. He shifts around in his bed (the car seat) and has a look on his face like, "Oh good! It's still naptime!" and he closes his eyes and goes back to sleep.
That all being said, he is spending a good deal more time awake and interactive. He likes to watch his brother and just soaks up attention. He is starting to enjoy little toys, and loves the mobile.
"Mamoo" is still his official name and is used around here quite a bit more than "Matthew." It just seems to suit him. Michael says it all the time, sometmes it is the first word Michael says in the morning...even before "On." Michael will ask about Mamoo if he doesn't see him because he is napping and will announce "Mamoo!" and go bounding down the hall when he hears Matthew cry when he wakes up from a nap.
Matthew is very gentle, very trusting, and very docile. He doesn't cry much, and even when he does, it is less "demanding" and more like "Help me!" He has such a sweet disposition and is the family's little treasure. Thinking about what his experience in like in this family, he must think his main job is to sit there and be kissed. He gets smothered from everyone, especially little Michael. He LOVES to rub his head against Matthew's hair and give him very slobbery kisses.
He's our little boy and we're so blessed to have him in our lives!
More updates on the rest of the fam this week!

Check out that smile! Mamoo, you are so handsome! What a cutie!!! And so big now!
Great post and pictures, Kim! =)
Wonderful pictures of Matthew!!
It is wonderful that "Mamoo" is sleeping better. Which means prayerfully that mommy and daddy are sleeping better.
We pray that you are all getting some health back.
Love to all
I love the update and the pictures - especially picture #3. Matthew looks adorable.
I can't believe how much older Matthew looks since last I saw him! He had an adorable newborn face, but now with his wide open eyes and beautiful smile, he's even cuter!
Matthew and Michael will be quite the duo -- I bet it melts your heart to see their brotherly love already. I loved reading about how Michael smothers Matthew with kisses and eagerly looks for him when he's sleeping. Too cute!
Ahhh... Matthew is such a sweet little baby and so cute! I agree with Kathy, his wide eyes and smile are so cute!
I miss the little boys. I need to make a trip down to SD.
Great post!
