This picture was taken today. He is becoming so much more alert.Time flies! It's hard to believe our little guy has been with us over a month now. I took Matthew to the doctor on Thursday and we found out he is a big, strong, healthy boy. He weighed in at 11 pounds 11 ounces and measured 23 inches. 90th percentile on both weight and height and 50th percentile for head circumference. We are headed out to Utah on Wednesday, the 23rd, for the holidays and I figure he should be about 12 pounds then. This means I have a 5 week old the size of a 3 month old! It makes for easier packing. I figure I will just wash and pack his 3-6 month clothes since he is actually at the weight and height for that size. I can't believe it. My baby boy is growing way too fast.
Note: Matt had an idea to take a picture of Matthew every day of his life for the first year. Afterward, we will make a movie showing each day and the progression of change. I thought it would be a good idea to do it on the Boppy so that there is an constant in the pictures to measure his growth by. Hence all the pictures of our sweet little guy on the Boppy :)
Matthew on the day of his 1 month check up. 
I decided to dress him in 3-6 months clothes the day after his appointment, just to see how they look. The pants are a tad big in the waist and a little long, but other than that he is filling them out quite well. I hope he stays in this size for a while!

WOW! He is really big!!!
Clark and I thought of doing the exact same thing with taking a picture of him at least once a week or so until he turned 18, but I guess we got lazy or forgot...
He has such beautiful eyes. What a cutie!
Thanks for FINALLY posting some pics of him and you all.
Love,
Natalie
he looks so alert. He's so cute.
yay! I was hoping for an update!! He is so cute and getting so big!! He is catching up to braxton fast! (hes 13lbs now...) I cant wait to meet the cutie!!! and yes you are brave to fly in the winter...we had thought about going somewhere for our anniversary (jan) but decided against it for sll those reasons (delays,etc that you went through!) He looks like you Robyn....so cute!!! Miss you and cant wait to see you next week!!!!!!
He's so cute! You are so brave to travel with a baby. Way to go! Mason was 7 months for his 1st trip and I was a wreck before hand. You must be just the best mom. I wasn't sure about anything! I took Emma at 5mo with Mason at 2 and that was easy peasy. I hope you have a great trip to UT. Merry Christmas!
Soooo Cute!
He is so stinking cute you guys!! I can not wait to finally meet him!! Our oldest was big too and I thought it was so fun (he was 21 pounds at his 6 month well check)!! Then when our second came 5 weeks early it was total opposite-teeny tiny! It's sad to see your baby grow so fast but at least you know they are healthy!! Good luck traveling today and we'll see you soon!!
He's such a doll, Bob. Good luck with the boppy photos once crawling and walking take place!
wow how cool! that's a really good idea- can't wait to see it :) he's such a cutie!!
