The Life of Matthew

Today was the day of my four month check up and once again I had two vaccinations so I’m not feeling at my best this evening. Vaccinations always make me drowsy but at least I’ll be my usual self (über cute!) for Christmas.
All of my tests came out fine. I’ve lost my Moro reflex which […]

Well! I have been giving Mummy and Daddy a bit of a hard time lately - ha ha ha. Reason being, I’ve been spitting up quite a lot. No sooner have I been fed than “burrrrrrrrp” out it all seems to come. Mummy has eliminated lots of foods from her diet which does seem to […]

Today it was off to the doctor’s for my three month check up. Doesn’t time fly? The picture shows me all dressed up and ready to go. I then decided to spit up all over my nice outfit so I had to be changed before we went out. I then spit up all over the […]

In this picture you can see that I am sleeping with my arms raised above my head. According to Mummy’s baby book, being able to raise my arms in this way is a very important step. It means that very soon I will be able to use both hands at once to do tasks. At […]

Mummy and Daddy took me for my two month check up today and I can’t say that I had a particularly enjoyable time of it.
First of all my appointment was at 12:00. We got there early in case I needed feeding and changing and sure enough both were required and administered. We then waited. And […]

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 […]

I was listening to Classic FM this morning (classical music seems to sooth me whilst I’m nursing or being changed) when we heard a news item that told of research linking autism to “older fathers.”
Apparently there is a six fold increase of the risk of autism if a baby is born to a father over […]

Hello,
Just a quick post to let everyone know that I’m doing fine. Grandma and Grandad are visiting at the moment. They think that I’m lovely.
On Saturday Mummy, Daddy and I went to the clinic for a post natal class after which I was weighed. I am now 4.26 kg (9.4 lbs) which means I’ve put […]
