A Family of Love

It amazes me how much Matthew learns in just one day. He has discovered his feet. He has not tried to chew on them yet but he loves to lift both legs up and then drop them. When he does this in the bassinet, it is really loud and it just makes us laugh. When he is on his play mat, he will pick up him feet and drop them and he moves all other his mat.

He has been doing better with sleeping since we started him on cereal at night. If he goes to sleep around 9p.m., we can usually get him to sleep until 4:45a.m. (Those are my nights that he sleeps until 4:45a.m. but when it is Scott's nights, he usually wakes up at 3a.m.). Thursday morning, he decided he wanted to get up at 4a.m. (my night). He started kicking his feet and then he let out a loud squeal. We both were very surprised because he almost always wakes up grumpy and crying and is that way until you put him on his changing table. I did try to put him in bed with us to see if we could get a few more minutes of sleep but NO WAY, Matthew wanted to get up. I don't know why last night but Matthew was up at 1:30a.m. I got up and fed him and he didn't want to go back to sleep. We reclined on the couch and ended up falling asleep.
