June already?!

Matteo has been an eating machine.  Now he eats for breakfast oatmeal and some fruit... lunch he has veggies and fruit...and for dinner he has rice cereal and some veggies.   And he's also nursing through-out the day.  Veggies he'd tried are squash (his fav!), sweet potato, peas, beans, zucchini, and carrot.  He will eat them all.  Fruits he's tried are apples, pears (his fav!), peaches, banana and today he tried prunes.  At first he wasn't so keen on fruits and would spit them back but now he's coming around and enjoying them. :) I want to try next avocado and mango next.

Also i'm so proud of Matteo that he sleeps most nights.  Usually from 9pm to 6:30am.  Not bad! I just would like him to start napping better.  Those are struggles. Its like he doesn't want to miss out on anything.  Naps are usually 45mins to 1 hour and usually 2 or 3 times a day.

Other news, he likes rolling all over the place, and putting EVERYTHING in his mouth.  He plays in the exersaucer now, and enjoys the jolly jumper more.  He also just LOVES being on his tummy and playing with toys.  He really wants to move forward and sometimes gets frustrated when he tries to push himself forward and then rolls over. *L* oh my baby boy is growing up so fast.  Its amazing ever since he turned 4 months how much he was changed.   Also he is growing like crazy! I think for weight he is around 18 lbs, and now he is in size 12months clothes! I cannot believe it.  You really do go through baby clothes like crazy.

Thats my update, here are some cute pics of my baby boy :) :) :)

RIP FLUFF :(

Dom's parents dog Fluff passed away.  She will be missed, especially by Matteo. He loved watching Fluff and always had a laugh when she was around.  Here are two cute videos of Matteo laughing with Fluff...

Update and picture post

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile... not to much new with Matteo these days.  He loves LOVES rolling .  You put him on a mat or on a blanket on the floor and within a min he's already rolled to his tummy. I think he likes looking around from this perspective and playing with his toys.  I'm sure he's wishing he could be mobile and crawl... but i'm sure that day will come soon *L*.  Also so far his favourite veggie is butternut squash and least favourite is waxed beans! Well I think they upset his tummy too.  Poor thing.  Anyways here a few pics of Matteo...

4 Month Appointment and Mother's Day

Matteo's 4 month appointment went well.  Dom actually took Matteo himself to the appointment so I could stay home and relax. (Yes I gave him a list of questions to ask the doctor! *L*) Matteo was 17lbs exactly and 27inches long, he is in the 98th percentile. *L* He got 2 needles and Dom said he was not as upset as the last time.  The doctor also told us we can start introducing veggies! Yay! So we started with sweet potato.  He wasn't TOO into eating it though.  The taste I think caught him off guard b/c he's used to breast milk or rice cereal which we mix with breast milk. So now we are feeding him rice cereal for breakfast and dinner and a veggie for lunch! He's growing up so fast! *tear*  ALSO big news, Matteo has learned to roll from back to tummy, and he's doing it a lot!! Also he seems to turn himself over in the night time and gets upset sometimes.  Poor guy. We have also been having some great nights of more sleep, keep it coming Matteo :D

My first Mother's Day was awesome.  Matteo and Daddy spoiled me!!! I got pink roses with a pretty new vase, and a spa gift card which I used today to get a mani and pedi :) It was a nice relaxing day. In the morning we went for Dim Sum with my folks and the Hua / Daniar family. :) Here are some cute pics :

Trip to Niagara Falls

A week ago today Dom and I decided to go to Niagara Falls with Matteo overnight.  Dom had taken Monday off and wanted to do something as a family... how sweet :) . Matteo slept the whole way there and was on his best behaviour the whole evening as we ate dinner downtown Niagara falls at a cute Italian restaurant and then walked around Clifton Hill with him and got some ice cream.  The night time wasn't as good.  He fed and went to sleep around 9:30 and was up almost every 1 1/2 to 2 hours .  It was exhausting!! At 6 am I asked Dom to take care of him and he took him out for a walk so I could get some sleep.  I slept another 1 1/2 hours and then we got packed up and went to the US to do some shopping for a few hours.  (We have Matteo's passport now!!) He was pretty good for the most part at the mall and slept.  I had to breast feed on a bench in the mall which was fun *L* my first time.  Lucky I had my breast feeding cover.  Driving home Matteo slept most of the way.  I was so proud of our lil'guy!! :D Here are a few pics of him being cute in the hotel:

Angry stare........

Our happy boy!!
