Pumpkin Patch

Tim helped me venture out of the house for a couple hours today for some family pics at the nearby pumpkin patch.  Last weekend was quite eventful for us.  After a few weeks of a plugged milk duct getting bigger, trying to solve it with time consuming home remedies, ultra sound therapy, antibiotics, and enduring weeks of pain and mastitis, I had to go in for ultrasound imaging and mammography.  I was admitted to the hospital that night and had surgery that Saturday morning to remove, in the words of the surgeon, "an abscess the size of a grapefruit".  I've been recuperating (read as "sleep induced by heavy pain killers") all week while Tim has been playing Mr. Mom and working from home.  Did I ever tell you how amazing my husband is?  So, I was excited to get out of the house, for a couple hours, and then I went back to bed completely exhausted afterwards.

We decided to prop Matthan up on the ground leaning against a pumpkin.  I was standing right next to him knowing he could topple....



Matthan preemptively flicking us off - I think he knew what was about to happen

But he was just too fast and toppled over before I could catch him...right as a hay wagon with about 35 people pulled up to witness the new parent blunder.  You could hear the collective "gasp" from the onlookers.  Parent Award of the Year goes to.......not us.

Tim's clearly the better photographer of the two of us.

First Family Outing

We managed to get out as a family and attend the church picnic.  We were sporting our red and black proudly, and Matthan and Tim matched in UGA shirts and khaki shorts.

Matthan - 1 month old

One Month Old

Our little boy is growing so quickly.  He has started to smile, but sort of randomly.  In his first few weeks, sometimes his arms would flail upward and we call this his "thriller moves" because it looks like the dance moves from the Michael Jackson video "Thriller".  He now likes his bath time, and squirms a lot in the bath.  We sometimes call him "little scrunch face" because when I wake him up to feed him, and I unswaddle him, his arms fly up in a BIG STRETCH and he scrunches up his face.  He also does it when he finishes nursing.  I wish I could capture him doing this on camera.  Here are a few pictures we did manage to get.

Diapers, Diapers

All of this cuteness...

Matthan ~ 10 days old


...produces a lot of diapers and laundry.




We chose to go the cloth diaper route.  These aren't yo' momma's cloth diapers.  We use the Fuzzibunz One Size cloth diapers and we love them.




Cute little tongue, I just want to pinch it. :)
