So I never meant for this to happen, once I had re-entered the world of my 'blog. But, I must admit that the convenience of Facebook has made my entries here tougher to justify. It seems that we, as Americans, are always looking for the easier way...
The last few months have been a flurry. Recently, we "celebrated" (I only put that in quotes because we didn't really have a celebration; it was more of an acknowledgment) Mathias turning six months old. Gestationally, he is just over four months, and his physical development is right on target for that schedule. For length and weight he's at the 50th percentile for four months; his 25" and 14 lbs, 12.5 oz statistics are actually the 10th percentile for a typical six-month-old. We don't know where these months have gone! I know it sounds cliche, but it seems like just yesterday we were in the hospital, holding a tiny form that didn't even know we were there. Today, we listen to constant jabbering as he tries to express himself without words, and he is a real ham when we pay him the attention he craves! He's a little less effusive around other people, at least for a few minutes, but wide smiles are very common, and giggles are becoming more so.
Here is a collage picture that I created recently - it has several different images from the hospital, and made a great 8x10 print. I want to create more of these from the dozens (I guess hundreds now) of images we've snapped since August 9.
I really will try to post more consistently. (This is mostly for you, Jeff!)
