My Matthew.......

My Matthew........my "oldest" of the quadruplets-my Baby A........ :) I had loved the name Matthew, even way before I became pregnant with the babies. So, naturally, as soon as I found out that Baby A was a boy-he became my Matthew. :) Matthew continues to be a "Momma's boy"........he LOVES being right next to me, ALL the time! :) He is my little honeypot-and I am trying to savor these moments that he does want to be so close to me. In regards to speech, he is really coming along. In the past month or so, his words have really picked up-and he amazes me daily with new sayings. I am quite pleased with his progress. In regards to nutrition, he is still struggling. Even with the chaos in my life now, I *try* to give him as much high calorie foods as I can..........I know I haven't done great the past month, but I am trying. We did discover that he did have a slight iron deficiency in his bloodwork, so he now takes an iron supplement daily. Matthew also has a "second opinion" type appointment with a new GI doctor in July-I am anxious to get another opinion. I do plan on taking both Matthew and Katie into the pediatrician this week to see how their weight gain has been this past month-believe it or not, it does "seem" that they feel heavier! :) Matthew is a very determined little boy. He knows what he wants and goes after it----his "shrill piercing" scream is definitely a weapon in his arsenel-once he starts screaming, the other babies tend to give up. It is like nails on a blackboard-trust me! LOL :) When Matty is happy, boy is he happy. He is loveable, cuddly, and super sweet. Even though he remains the tiniest of the bunch, he will always be the "big brother" to the gang. "Small but mighty"-that is my Matthew. :) Mommy loves you, Matty........XOXOXO
