CRAWLING!! or something like it :P

Matthew is starting to crawl!! Or more like hop? Or face plant? hehe...whatever it is, he's on the move!!

M.'s first haircut!!

Matthew's hair has been growing a lot since he was born, but mostly on the sides. It grows long and curls in on the sides...kinda reminds me of the hair that Hasidic Jews have. It's actually really cute, but 1) people who don't know him think he's a girl, and 2) every time he rubs his face, the hair gets all over his face. So, we finally decided to cut it. First we were going to cut just a little off the side, but then he looked funny...like he had a really bad mullet. So wekept cutting and now...well, now he justhas a really bad bowl cut. :P Sorry baby!!

Ah, but he's still so cute. Love you Matthew!!

Matthew needs some friends.

Whenever Matthew sees an adult, he always eyes them first, as if he's studying to see who they are. He never freely reaches out to them or touches them, just looks. BUT, when he sees a baby or a small kid, he always looks at them and reaches out to touch them. It's as if he knows that they're like him! One time he did that to a two year old girl. He grabbed her arm and tried to pull her closer. Unfortunately, she thought he was trying to hurt her (his grab does feel more like a pinch with his falcon-like nails) and didn't want to play with him. :( Then another time he saw a 5 month old and tried touching his arm to play, but the most a 5 month old could do is just stare back at him, so again he didn't get to play. Poor Matthew...I have to find him some friends. Thankfully he has his cousin Lauren and JJ who very lovingly and willingly let him grab their arm. They'll say "ouch ouch!!" but won't take their arm away from him. :) We love Lauren and JJ!

should i wake him????

Matthew usually eats at about 8pm and sleeps by 9:30pm. Tonight he fell asleep at 7pm and hasn't woken up since. It's now 9:42. :/ Should I wake him up to eat? I really don't want to b/c he's sleeping so soundly. But, he's missed a meal. Will he sleep through the night? Or will he wake up crying for his bottle at 2am? There's only one way to find out..
Whatever happens, for now he's the most beautiful peaceful baby. I love him!

EDIT: he slept through the whole night! :)
