This is one of my favorite recent photos of Matt. I especially love his silly expression and his raised big toes.
I submit this photo as proof that Matt is very well fed. He is a hearty eater and not shy about letting us know when he is hungry, although his appetite is finally starting to slow down. I'm so used to him being hungry all the time that he recently figured out he could use that to his advantage. He realized that if he feigns hunger he doesn't even need to cry to get me to pick him up quickly. He'll get a mischievous expression on his face similar to the one above, look me in the eye, and then shove his fist in his mouth as if it's the last thing on earth keeping him from starving. Unfortunately for him I quickly figured out what he was really doing, so his silly trick isn't working very well any more. This one is going to keep us on our toes, for sure!
Matt continues to do very well with holding up his head. He doesn't yet love tummy time, but we keep trying. His development is progressing well; he is at or even past many of the major physical milestones for not only this month but also the next. He hasn't yet shown interest in rolling over, however, and he is still working toward intentionally grabbing things and holding onto them. But all in due course...
This is another one of my favorite recent photos. Matt does have beautiful eyelashes. (I wish I could claim credit for them, but I don't think I can.)
