The Life of Matthew

Over the past few days I’ve noticed something new and exciting in my world. I have toys! Small, furry things whose ears crackle when I grab them (Mummy says they’re made this way to help my sensory development but that when I’m a big boy they’ll have soft ears) and a mobile that hangs above […]

Breastfeeding is how Mummy and I spend most of our time together. I’m a very hungry little boy. Mummy says I’m just as greedy as Daddy, although I don’t think he cries if you take his food away. (Not that Mummy takes my food away, but sometimes I lose the nipple and get cross with […]

Not content with writing this blog I’ve also started my own page on Squidoo.
What is Squidoo I hear you ask? Well Squidoo is a place where thousands of people write pages (Squidoo calls pages lenses) about a topic or topics that interest them. Mummy has a lens, Daddy has some lenses so I thought that […]

Mummy said that I’m developing an ear for music or at least recognising it and she’s right.
I’ve mentioned in a previous post that I like Classic FM and in fact I seem to like instrumental and old music as a whole. Two CDs that I really like and that sooth me is the English Patient […]

It’s official. Mummy and Daddy are now parents.
Mummy was watching Krøniken (a Danish TV series) on DVD whilst Daddy was reading a book. He looked up to see a beautiful blond holding a baby and his first thought was “that’s a nice sleeper the baby’s wearing.”
We realised that Mummy was a parent when she saw […]

Today is Mummy and Daddy’s first wedding anniversary so I just want to say happy anniversary to both of them and a big thank you because without them I wouldn’t be here!
Until next time, bye bye.

Today  Yesterday was my last visit to the clinic where I was born as today it was my last postnatal class (Mummy has two more but babies and Daddies are encouraged to stay at home).
There were only 5 babies in the class so it was nice and relaxed although it was surprising to see how […]

I went to see my paediatrician (from now on to be called “baby doctor”) for the first time yesterday. I can’t say that I particularly enjoyed the experience although she was very nice, very efficient and very professional. I just didn’t enjoy being poked, prodded and having things stuck into my mouth and ears. To […]

Just a quickie.
Mummy went to the clinic for a post natal class (it was about ladies bits so daddies weren’t allowed and babies were encouraged to stay at home - Daddy and I had lots of fun) and came back with this little gem from the midwife:
To check that your baby is not too hot […]

Between eating and sleeping I have been doing a little housework on my blog so you may have noticed the orange button on the right of the page. This allows you to be able to keep up to date will all of my posts and alerts you when I have written anything new. Have a […]
