This past week we had some of Matthew's firsts. I got some awesome pictures of Matthew and David. Please notice that Matthew's eyes are open in all pictures.
All the boys together First Sunday of Church
David feeding Matthew First Bath (really the 2nd)
David is just in love with his little brother; he loves to watch him, help him, sit with him, and touch him. David walked in on me pumping milk to have on hand for whenever Dustin wants to feed Matthew. David decided right then that he wanted to feed Matthew. Knowing David's attention span and the 2 ounce bottle sitting in the fridge I got them set up. David loved being able to feed Matthew and has asked everyday to feed him again, I'll have to make sure he gets another chance. Matthew just loves to look at his older brother and is completely enthralled with David when he is paying attention to Matthew.
Matthew, being the second boy is getting all of David's hand-me-downs, so the Sunday outfit he has on was David's and when I find the picture of David in it I'll post the comparison picture. Also like David, we didn't get a picture of Matthew's first bath but we did get the second one. Matthew loves taking baths. He calms right down and sleeps longer through the night when we do bath him before bed.
We have noticed that we really don't take as many pictures of Matthew as we did of David. I think it's because David was a new experience for us and EVERYTHING was cute or something we wanted to remember. This time around we are just getting pictures that are cute, memorable or milestones. We'll see how long it lasts and we'll see what happens when any other kids join the mix, will they even have pictures taken?!?
We are really enjoying having Matthew in our family. We feel a little more complete as a family. It's just so wonderful to have him here and I'm so grateful that we have him now. We just can't believe that he is already one month old. My how time flies!
This week is Dustin's spring break and we have decided to do some short little day trips. I'll try to post after each trip but we'll see. Check back on Sunday for sure!

ah the nostalgia with just reading your post....it is so true! ALL OF IT!
it really is kind of sad that you don't take as many pictures of the second as you do the first....but i do think that the pictures that you do take are the good ones (not just *a lot of pictures of your baby* b/c looking back at jack's pictures when he's little and a baby --- they are so memorable -- not that any of collin's were not...)
and hand-me-downs are THE.BEST. i'm so looking forward to using all those cute baby clothes -- yet again! it never gets old and each one looks so darn cute in them :)
glad that you guys are adjusting well....it's just so darn cute!
