Let's get this started!

It's been almost 10 months, but we're finally getting this blog started. Gradually, we will update you on the past 9 months and then, maybe we can start posting current pics of our wonderful little rascal. So, let's get started where things began...

Here's Lew, preparing for life with a baby around.

Our Little Longhorn naps in his swing.



Grandma Sharon takes pleasure in a little nap time cuddling with Matthew.


Matthew and Lew get to know each other on the couch.

He sure took alot of naps his first few months. Lots of sleeping pics!


Here he is curled up in his carseat resting after a day of errands with his mommy and daddy.


Wide eyed and ready for his first Christmas, Matthew enjoys some time in his daddy's arms.


Matthew gets to know his new friend Julio, the gorilla. Nick has named the animals on the walls in the nursery, and couldn't leave out the gorilla we picked up at the grocery store down the street. Yes, the grocery store! You should have seen the look on the teenage employees' faces when we pull our cart up with a gorilla in the child seat! Matthew was still in my belly at the time!


Matthew got a little tired while rooting for the Longhorns. No USC gear to don yet! Nick will have a say in that soon.


Cuddling in his new bath towel from his "Aunt" Lisa and her family.


Matt and Nick model their new hats before our evening walk.

Matt's baby fat comes in... Check out our no neck baby boy!
Matt starts his singing career!

Matt smiles and plays on his blanket. It's a meaningful one, made for me by my Grandma Ruth when I went off to college. It was a perfect blanket to share with our new baby boy!

Matt and his daddy play on the floor.



So, that's a brief overview of the first 3 months. I'll catch up on the next 3 tomorrow!
