Matt's eighth week was an eventful one. Monday night he started smiling voluntarily at Jon, and Tuesday morning he flashed me some big grins when I smiled at him. He had another visitor on Christmas Eve, one of my college roommates. Then he had his first Christmas. To finish off the week he began preparing for his upcoming two-month birthday by having a weekend-long growth spurt. Sunday he also started sticking his tongue out when I stuck out mine at him. He is definitely no longer a newborn but a rapidly growing and developing infant.
Cute? Who, me?

We got a rocker seat from one of Jon's coworkers, which Matt is enjoying during fun times...
…and apparently even during some sleepy times, too.
Matt has grown bigger all over, but his head and hands, which weren't exactly small to begin with, are noticeably larger.
