Visit with Friends

Today, we drove to Smithville, MO to visit our good friends. Matty enjoyed playing toys with Roman & Marshall, his best buddies. We had so much fun watching the little boys interact with each other! It appeared that they were trying very hard to communicate with each other. It is so wonderful to see how much progress they have made!

Busy Week

Matthew has had had quite a busy week! He had his 6-month checkup at the pediatrician on Monday and had to get 3 shots. He had a NICU followup clinic on Wednesday and did a great job for Dr. H...he held his head up high during tummy time and showed off his strong neck muscles. Today, he had a parents as teachers visit with Amy, and had fun playing on his blanket. Now, if we could only teach him to take naps in the day time!
