6 weeks old!

Hello everyone! Today I am 6 weeks old. In honor of my milestone, mom of course had to take some pictures with some of my new friends and of course in my new clothes.

Playing with Ed, my new horse.


In my terry cloth outfit from my godmother, Michelle. And of course wearing shoes from Aunt Nancy and Uncle Tejpal.

My new hat from the Shands! It's a bit big but I'll grow into it, especially since I'll take after my mom and dad who both have big heads.

In my new wagon! And of course pulling my empty wagon along.

And, just some new expressions.. And if you didn't notice, wearing my cool onesie from Aunt Hiroko and Christian -- yes, I am Daddy's Little Wingman.

Have a great weekend folks!

Smile

My mom has been trying to capture my smile now when I'm awake but I haven't been cooperating. Grandma Kwon requested some pictures with my eyes open so mom got to work this morning...

Enjoying the sun in our living room..


This is mom cheating in trying to make me smile...


Flying class..


To infinity and beyond...


Here are some decent close ups...




See, this is where my mom is cruel. I was about to sneeze and she thought it would be funny to capture the before shots...eeebers!


Yesterday while mom was changing my diaper, I peed and it squirted all over my shirt and my face. I stopped crying abruptly due to the shock and then resumed crying after realizing what had happened. Mom was contemplating taking a picture of pee all over my face but that would be too cruel. Instead, she quickly mopped up my face and proceeded to tell dad about how funny it was.

5 weeks and going strong...

Today I had my one week checkup with the doctor as my weight was on the low side.  I now weigh 8lbs and 11ozs!  I gained that much in over a week.  The doctor was very proud of me.  I must say though that my pants and diapers are getting a bit tight on me so I figured I was rounding out my figure.  I also had my first shot for Hepatitis B.  It was painful but I took it like man.

Last Saturday, my grandparents from Canada left to go back home.  Mom has to do everything by herself but Grandma Kim made sure to make lots of pre-made food so mom could easily heat things up.  However, I like to make things challenging so I keep mom busy non-stop.  She rarely has a chance to put me down nor eat anything..

I can now smile somewhat when I am awake according to my mom.  However, she has yet to capture that shot and plus I only like to smile when I want to -- which is whenever my mom doesn't need me to -- hee hee.

I miss my grandparents from Canada but I'll be seeing them in a few months for my debut in Canada.  I better fatten up some more and learn to smile more regularly so that I can make my parents proud.

Look how fat I got -- do you see my double chin?  Comfortable being held in daddy's arms.

Doing what I do best and looking cute while doing it...napping

Sharing my best talents with daddy..

TGIF!

Thank goodness it is Friday! My mom finally caught my small smile while I was sleeping -- but I was naughty and woke up after she flashed the camera at me -- haha.

Today, I am 1 month old. Yippee skippee! I hope dad brings home a gift for me.

I know...I am soooo cute even in my sleep.. hee hee


My royal fatness...look at the round tummy now protuding since I have been eating non-stop!


Have a good weekend folks!

Love,
Matthieu

The Many Faces of Me...

So it has been 2 days since my mom has started her suggested diet to fatten me up. I think I am fattening up nicely. My mom kept staring at me with the camera to try and catch me smiling in my sleep but alas there was nothing funny about my dreams this time around -- maybe next time!

Do you see the big double chin! I definitely did not have that before -- maybe it is the angle...


Almost smiling -- totally faked out my mom!


Tomorrow I turn 1 month old! Time flies....

Nuggets of Love

When my parents first started dating, my mom asked my dad what part of the woman was his favorite part. He responded my mom's smile. When my mom was asked, she responded, my dad's hands and feet.

We are still unsure whose feet or hands I have, but they are so darn cute that I had to post my nuggets of love for you to witness...


Today I also went to the pediatrician for my one month check up. I now weigh 7lbs 8oz. I grew about 0.3 inches and my head circumference grew by 1cm. Although my weight is going up, I was told that I needed to fatten up, especially if I want to hit the puck or kick the soccer ball with my dad in a few years! Therefore, the doctor told mom to do 3 things to increase her milk: 1) drink lots of water, 2) drink mother's nursing tea 2-3 times a day and 3) drink a bottle of Guiness after breastfeeding.

Hopefully after a week, I'll have gained some more weight. Maybe it will also allow me to sleep more deeply through the day and night so that my dad can get some much needed zzzz's as he does need to bring home the Canadian bacon.

My mom's new toast before she has her now daily Guiness: Here's to fatty Matty!

Aunt Hiroko and Uncle Christian / Bed Head

Aunt Hiroko and Uncle Christian came to visit me yesterday all the way from California. They were here to celebrate the annual Aries birthday which includes Aunts Emily, Jen, Hiroko and Hannah. Aunt Hiroko and Uncle Christian also got engaged recently and will be getting hitched in good ol' Las Vegas in October. I'm excited to attend their wedding and show them some of my moves.

Bed Head....so I know you were wondering why I titled my post with random subjects, but my mom couldn't get enough of my hair when I woke up this morning. I should consider this do for Halloween...hm.

Do you see the two horns??? Look mom, no hands!
