Matthew's First Haircut

My good friend and hairdresser, Karyn, came over the other day to give Matthew his first haircut. Matthew definitely needed a "hair make-over", as for the past few months, Matthew had on the back of his head, what Mike and I called, the "dirty patch". The "dirty patch" was this thick and long patch of hair, very prominent on the back of his head. And, the rest of his head had sparse patches, complete with long and short hair intertwined throughout. Not a good look for Matthew. So, Mike and I invited Karyn over to do an overhaul on Matthew's hair. Matthew enjoyed his haircut very much. He is very ticklish and laughed the entire time. After the haircut was complete, Matthew emerged a new and changed man.

Karyn is working wonders on Matthew's mane.

Playdate at Central Park

My good friend Heidi and I, took our boys to Central Park to play. She has two little boys, Matteo and Noah. It was so much fun to watch Matthew gawk over the two older boys who were playing and running around like crazy.

So handsome!!!

Matthew FINALLY Sleeps Through the Night!!!

Wow! So, patiently Mike and I awaited for the night to come when Matthew would sleep through the night. Granted, he has been sleeping much better for the past several weeks. However, he still would awaken quite frequently with some "touch and go" episodes of crying, moaning, growning, etc. But..................Last night was a new chapter in, what we hope, will be a new story for Matthew. A story of good sleep for all. Mommy and daddy are super energetic today, as Matthew slept, without making a peep, from 10:30 PM until 5:30 AM. We are so excited! And, he is starting to really love his crib. For those of you who may know, transitioning to his crib was very tough for Matthew, as he was absolutely in love with his cradle swing. He does give his mommy heart palpitations on a regular basis though, as his favorite sleeping position is on his tummy with his nose buried into the mattess. Can I say, WTF???

Matthew's Horsey

Matthew's grandparents got him this jumparoo horse when he was born. Mike and I put it together last weekend, and.....Well, riding his horse is his favorite thing to do. Mike and I can watch him for hours. It is histerical!

Erin's 32nd Birthday!

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Because my birthday falls exactly six months before hers, Tasha ALWAYS feels the need to remind me how much OLDER I am than her, hence the statement on the envelope of my birthday card.

So, this year, I had two theories regarding my birthday...

Theory #1: If I ignore my birthday, it will go away.

Theory #2: Regardless of whether or not I ignore my birthday, I will still be 32, so I might as well celebrate. .. So, what does a mom of a four-month old want more than anything??? REST AND RELAXATION!!! Therefore, I decided a spa day with the girls was just what the doctor ordered. So, me and a few of my good friends had a spa day at Carmen's Spa in Huntington Beach. We ate, drank lots of wine, got pampered, drank wine, got massages, talked, oh, and did I mention, we drank wine.

Thank you girls, for making me feel extra special on my bday!

I love you!

Birthday Biz-atch & Tashie

Matthew's Four Month Pediatrician Visit

Matthew had his four month well-baby check up with his pediatrician today. I was so curious to see how much he has grown, since his last visit at two months of age. Matthew now weighs exactly 17 pounds, placing him in the 95th percentile for weight. He is going to be one tall dude, with his height measuring at 27 1/2 inches, placing him at the 100th percentile for height. He also had two of his vaccines today and did very well. And, Matthew also did something very "BIG" today. I laid him on the floor to go grab my phone really quick....Matthew rolled over onto his tummy. I could not believe it, as I was not expecting it. He just amazes me every day!

Matthew's First Halloween...

For Halloween this year, Mike and I took Matthew to Josh and Megan's neighborhood to go trick-or-treating. It was so much fun to walk around and see all of the kiddos all dressed up. Matthew had such a great time riding around in his stroller. And, I must say, he does make a pretty cute turtle.

The cutest turtle ever!
