Matty has had a very busy week! He experienced his first professional photo shoot (pictures to follow) and we've had lots of visitors and doctors appointments! Auntie and Uncle V and SJ came for a visit on Saturday. Half of the Russell's came by on Sunday so that they could meet Matty before their Sam arrives next week. We're looking forward to Sam and Matty growing up together! Matty also had a visitor from Las Vegas and his first (and hopefully last) visit with a police officer!! Of course, he's probably had a dozen visits with his grandparents this week, and they're all coming back over this afternoon (they just can't get enough).

Matty outgrew his NB clothes this week but he's still swimming in 0-3!! Speaking of outgrowing, we had our 2 week Well Child doctors visit today:

Stats on February 25

Height - 21.5

Weight - 10.5 (dropped to 9.4 when we were discharged from the hospital)

Stats on March 11

Height - 22.5 or 96th percentile

Weight - 10.11 or 95th percentile

Head Circumference - 15 3/4 or 97th percentile (yikes)

The doctor says that he's the size of a 2 month old.... He's our big boy

Today is also our first day at home without Daddy; he had to go back to work. We survived an adventure out in the rain to the doctors and the pharmacy and we're looking forward to a trip to the mall later in the week.

This weekend will bring a whole new group of visitors; the Tins are coming up on Saturday and we're hoping to see the rest of the Russell's soon. We've joked that Matty needs a personal assistant to coordinate all of his guests. Next week also brings St. Patty's Day and maybe a trip to Nokia to see the ladies.

It is so hard to believe that just two weeks ago this "little" man was still in my belly waiting to be held. What a journey its been so far.
