Well, the boy just keeps getting bigger and bigger. In the last week Matthew has started sitting up on his own for 5-10 minutes at a time, had his first bottle, got a "big boy" car seat, tried sweet potatoes, had playtime with his buddy, Elijah, and watched his first Dodgers game with Dad.

Here he is getting his first bottle. I only gave him 1.5oz the first time around in case he didn't want the bottle. I think this boy could care less where his food comes from as long as it ends up in his tummy. He has had 2 more bottles since and he already holds it by himself.

Matthew is such a ham. He's figured out that he's supposed to look at the camera when the orange light turns on and he has even started smiling or making a silly face most of the time.

Matthew and Elijah have stared at each other before but they've never actually interacted with each other. We decided to put them on the floor together and see how it went. Within a couple of minutes they were reaching for each other and trying to play with each other. It was hilarious.

Matthew has just about reached the weight limit on his infant carrier so we went and bought him his "big boy" car seat. It's so funny to see him go from looking huge in his car seat to looking tiny. We joke that it's his throne because it's so well padded and so big. He's still faces the rear of the car and he will until he's a year old. They can face forward once they reach 20lbs AND 1 year. I think he's content in the mean time because he sees himself in his little mirror.

Sweet potato! It was a hit. I would definitely say he liked it better than the green beans. Check out the sweet potato face

Here's another example of Matthew hamming it up for the camera. Gilbert has started calling him "honeybaked" because of the faces he makes for the camera. I set him in his jumperoo and he made all kinds of fun faces.

Yesterday was opening day at Dodger stadium. We have signed up for the MLB package so that we don't have to wait for the Dodgers to play the Astros in order to see a game. Matthew got to watch the game with his daddy and he even wore his Dodgers hat. His onesie says "Little Rookie". I wish I had planned it but I didn't realize he was wearing a baseball onesie until I started taking pictures of him.
