First Month

Matthew has had an exciting first month. The tale of the tape at his doctors visit today showed that Matthew is up to 9 lbs, 9.5 oz and he has increased his length to 21.5 inches. He has done a lot of growing in the past few weeks. During this time he has also begun to display his superhuman abilities. Specifically, his ability to control time. When Matthew cries or screams, he has the ability to actually make time stop! Seconds feel like eons while his high pitched yell pierces the air.

On the other hand, when Matthew is asleep...

Two hours can pass in the blink of an eye.
Since he has spent much more time sleeping during his first month than crying, the last 32 days have passed by more quickly than a week of spring break.

Last week Matthew had visits from his Big Mama and Big Daddy Thursday night

His Grandma and Aunt Devin Friday night and Saturday

Even Brandon Poarch, a.k.a. Uncle Bud, came down from Northern Virginia for a visit Saturday

Matthew is much more alert and aware of his surroundings now that he is a month old.

His parents are looking forward to what each new day will bring...
