February 6th

What a good Sunday! Matthew slept in until 7:00 this morning. I had to go check on him at 6:00, as I was shocked he wasn’t up for a bottle yet. After eating he slept again until 10:00. Then we got ready and went to church. He was really good during Mass and just hung out, laying on the pew content with his pacifier. Then we went over to Grandma Jan’s house. We hung out for a while then I left to go to a Super Bowl party with Tony at the home of one of his co-workers. Matty went to watch the Big Game with Grandma at a friend’s house. We were all rooting for Green Bay and were happy to see them win. Sorry family in Pittsburgh, but my roots lay in Wisconsin!

Matty was very chatty today, definitely the most vocal he’s been. It’s great to hear the different coos and sounds he makes. He is also getting pretty good at using his hands. He was holding his little duck rattle today and waving it around. He also loves holding hands and has started helping hold his bottle. He loves to feel different textures. He’s also getting pretty good at sucking his thumb. It’s not a habit I want him to keep up with, but for right now it’s just so darn cute!

Tony’s four days off start tomorrow and we’re looking forward to getting to spend time together as a family. Hopefully we’ll finish putting all of our stuff away and get pictures hung to finish up the house.

Rockin' his Green Bay green, and using the terrible towel as a spit rag!
