He's a BIG boy. He's four month old but wearing 12 month pajamas (they fit him well). He's tall and strong and if I allow myself to dream I see him being quite a ball player in a few years. But who knows, he may prefer music or art or fixing things. Whatever he decides we'll support him and love him. Right now he mainly likes to eat and sleep and laugh and play. And he loves his big sister. He stares as her and smiles at her and the feeling is mutual. She hugs and kisses him and holds his hand. She tells him "I love you so much Matthew DD (We're not sure where the DD comes from but I guess it's her nickname for him). She also tells him "You're the best!" Hope they will always be close. Brothers and sisters are special. I know I'm blessed with mine. Aunt Beth is the sweetest, kindest person with a huge soft heart. She also loves Matthew and Kenzie to pieces.
In fact, as I think about it, the biggest blessing that Matthew has is the number of people who love him. Of course his Mommy and me and sister and grandparents, and aunts and uncles and cousins...but lots of other folks too, including his church family. God's love is abundant in his little life. No wonder he's growing so big, love is "good soil".
Matthew Nicholas we love you and are SO happy to have you as our son. You've already given us so much joy and we look forward to all that you will be and do.
