Matthew has become difficult to photograph. He’s not uncooperative, per se, but he just won’t pose anymore like he used to. He’s just too busy! I caught a RARE, genuine smile on camera yesterday and I was THRILLED! Here it is!
A grand smile resulting from Daddy kisses!

First time watching Top Gun after we noticed him starting it last night on B’s phone. “JET! JET!”
This is proof enough that Matthew is MY BOY! He may not look like me, but he sure has the same taste as me in movies and awesome JETS!
Matthew got to see his second cousins today – and he had fun! H is just 5 days older than him, which is super fun! F just had her 6th birthday. My cousin and I were hanging out in the kitchen when F hollered, “I’m surrounded by babies over here!” We ran in to find this:
Happy Friday, everyone!
I just cannot say “no” to this cute little man! He found this in the garage yesterday and now it’s in the house, per his insistence 😉
It WAS supposed to stay in the mudroom.
BUT… I was convinced to let it into the freshly cleaned house!
Everyone gets loves and snuggles when Matthew is up from his nap!
(Please disregard the unmatching pillows on the floor – we got NEW BEDDING this weekend and need to get the shams to match now!)
Matthew’s favorite siting, in the entire world right now, is a school bus! If it’s parked, it’s awesome. If it’s moving, it’s even better. If there are more than one on the road, it’s life-altering 😉 We have a school just down the road from us that usually has 1-6 buses parked out back at any given time. We drive by to “see the buses” at least once a day. If we come to the “bus intersection” with Matthew in the car, he promptly instructs us where he wants us to take him. It’s quite cute, and we usually oblige him because – well – he’s cute 😉
The other day, the buses were parked in a way that I could get a picture of Matthew gazing at them, with them in the background. YAY! This obsession is documented for all time!
“Matthew, what do you see?”
“Hello, buses!”

I can’t be wordless about this.
We had our big reveal ultrasound tonight, and had the tech seal the picture in an envelope. We then went to dinner with a few friends (one was having a birthday) and had one of them open the envelope for us. When he paused, then smiled, and then said what the baby is, B shouted, “ARE YOU SERIOUS???”
Both hands in the air, huge smile on his face, genuine excitement!
We are thrilled, THRILLED, to share that we are having another boy! Matthew is getting a little brother! This is what we wanted. This is what we saw ourselves with. This is my dream (so far – because there is talk here and there about a third baby).
I have two boys! My boys each have a brother! I get to say, “my boys.”
OUR boys!
We are both so damned excited!
Little Brother smiling for Matthew, who was there to hear that heartbeat!
If you’re interested in more ultrasound photos (I don’t expect that you are!), you can find them on my pregnancy page.
Last week, while Matthew was fighting a nap, we got to rough housing a bit on the bed. He started it, and I kept it going. So fun!
Holy hell, I originally posted this from my phone and it uploaded the FULL SIZE photo. No – you do NOT need to see a close-up of my pores! Sorry about that!

Digging his new address on Sesame Street!
