RE: Introducing Matthew...better late than never!
Caught this thread a bit late as well...Not quite sure how I missed it!
My DS is Matthew, 19 months today. He is an intelligent, energetic, happy, sensitive and active little boy. He loves to play with anything that has wheels - cars, trains, and even doll strollers! Matthew has become quite the social butterfly. It is a welcomed change from his past introvert-like behavior.
Matthew is a good sleeper and always has been. If he is tired, he is off to sleep. I hope that continues into the future. He is a picky eater but is willing to try new things. I am able to sneak in some new foods every now and then.
He is overall healthy, despite being on the low end of the growth chart. His weight has been consistently low and we have had some trouble from our previous pediatrician about that. Switching peds was the best thing we could have ever done. We see an awesome ped now who thinks Matthew is fine just the way he is. I am glad that he told me not to worry.
My little guy is definitely a smart one. He has begun to count to 5 (it sounds something like it anyway!) and has learned how to operate our dvd player & vcr. :) He is picking up new words and skills every day. It is amazing to see how much he has grown over the past 1 1/2 years.
My favorite thing about my son is the fact that he is a sensitive little guy. He is quite affectionate as well and there is nothing better than little guy kisses. He loves to dote on our dogs and I hope he grows up to be as loving & kind a man as his Dad. I think my DH is a good role model. :)
Ok...enough rambling. That is my little guy in a nutshell...
