Thanksgiving!

Our first Thanksgiving with our wonderful new blessing! God is so good.

We were able to spend Thanksgiving with my parents, my brother Jeremy, and my mother-in-law. We had a wonderful time and all enjoyed little Matthew. It was a time spent talking and playing games and eating lots of turkey and the fixings that go with it. My dad and Stan spent a lot of time in the kitchen making our wonderful dinner and Jeremy did his specialty of the pies for dessert. Everything was wonderful. We had a great time together as a family. Here are some pictures. Hope you enjoy!

Three months a lot late!

Sorry for the late post and the recent pictures being all of his sleeping.

Matthew turned 3 months on the 18th of November. We can't believe how time flies. He is getting bigger by the minute it seems sometimes. He is filling out in the cheeks, but other than that is thin and long. He is a good eater for the most part, and is sleeping 8-9 hours at night. It is wonderful. He is talking so much and is so fun and entertaining for all of us. It has been so neat to have this little guy around and see the way God uses even the little one to minister to our hearts. It is so amazing how when you are not feeling well, frustrated, or upset, God uses Matthew to just talk to me and put the cutest smile on his face for me that it just makes me smile and laugh and he just brings so much joy even in the midst of hard times. God is great! He has also become fascinated with the tv. It is so funny to watch him watch the television. He gets so fixed on it. Daddy loves the fact that he will sit and watch football with him. It is so cute.

Just for a heads up his four month update will be a fun one, but will be late. We are going to Florida for Christmas this year, so it will be his first Christmas and first flight. It should be an exciting update.

Cranberry Festival in Chatsworth, NJ

This weekend we went to my in-laws house for the annual Cranberry Festival. We left Friday after getting Emily from school. It was not a bad ride. The last 1/2 hour was a little hard. Matthew had his 2 month Dr. appointment that afternoon and received 3 shots. He slept most of the ride until the end. He was not happy. We felt so bad for him. He was fussy that night and we gave him some Tyenol. It seemed to help and by the morning he was in great spirits. At the festival my in-laws sell cranberries and all kinds of jam and jellies and other things in front of their house. Mo spends a lot of time making these things and decorating out front of the house. The festival contains crafts, antiques, clothes, and much more including food and rides for the kids. There is a lot to do. We had beautiful weather which made it nice. Here are some pictures to show you! Enjoy!

Two Months!

I can't believe how time flies. Our baby boy is growing fast. He is now 12 pounds and 23 1/2 inches long. On Friday he got his first set of shots. Not fun!!. The first one he didn't cry at all and by the third one he screamed. Mommy cried too. It was hard to see my little boy get hurt. He was not feeling well that night, but the next day he was fine and back to himself. Matthew is now discovering his hands. He is very entertaining to watch as he just stares at his hands and then starts moving them. He ends up hitting himself in the head a lot with his hands. He is cooing, talking and smiling a lot to us. It is so neat to see his personality starting to show. He holds his head up pretty well too. He is a strong little guy. Mommy is still getting up with him in the night, but hopefully we will be sleeping through the night soon! That is all for now from the Worrell household. Enjoy the pictures!

Matthew Update!

Well, here is the update you all have been waiting for. Matthew is doing quite well. He is growing bigger and getting longer. We had a couple rough days with eating and sleeping, but are doing ok now. He is a good eater and sleeps pretty well. He is up about every 3 hours at night. Sometimes he will go 4-5, but not consistently. He is so fun to watch and play with now. He is constantly moving his hands and feet. We bought him a bouncer and a play mat and he absolutely adores both. He sits in his bouncer and just kicks away. Both of the toys have a setting where the music goes according to the babies movements. He gets very excited and moves a lot. He is smiling and talking a lot more. He is so fun. Hope you enjoy some pictures that I recently took. I am also posting his one month professional pictures of our handsome little man!

One Month Old, a day late!

Where has the time gone? We cannot believe it has been a Month since Matthew was born. He is doing very well. Last night he slept in his crib in his own room for the first time. He did a great job. Mommy and Daddy were able to get some much needed extra sleep. Matthew is very alert when awake and starting to talk and smile a little bit. He is a joy to have around and he brightens up our life. He now weighs 9 lb. 8.5 ounces and is doing well. He is a very good baby. Pictures to come!
