Matthew Bryce

Here is Matthew at 3 months old, in all his glory.  He is our sweet chunk.  At his two months doctor's visit he weighed 15 pounds 9 ounces (off the charts) and was 23 inches long.  I would estimate that he now weighs about 17 pounds and has lengthened out a bit, but has maintained his "thunder thighs".  He is sleeping through the night and has reduced his feedings from 7 times a day to 5.  He insists on going to sleep around 8:30 and usually wakes up between 6:30 and 7:00.  Matthew has an umbilical hernia which causes his belly button to stick out.  We are praying it heals on its own (which they usually do) without surgery.  If it doesn't heal, surgery would be done when he is 4 years old.  Matthew loves to "talk" and entertains us with his frequent smiles.  Kate is quite enamored with him, the first thing she asks when she wakes up in the morning is "where is my brother?"  We are looking forward to a fun summer with these two!
