One tooth at a time

Well, it's official--this Mathias baby is growing up one tooth at a time! His new tooth has cleared his gums. The fussiness has ceased, although the rough nights continue. I think it may take a while for our sleep to get back on schedule, but I was prepared for that.

In other news, Mathias sat up from a laying down position for the very first time last week while taking a bath! It was adorable--and helpful when it came time to wash his back. Usually Matt picks him up and I wash his back and butt really quickly before he slips. He's also taken to trying to stand in the tub with Matt holding under his arms while I wash his butt.

Matt's birthday is this Thursday. It's always such a hardship to find something to give him! He always says he doesn't want anything. So, I had originally planned on getting him a fancy toolkit, but then I came across a better idea; a custom book! I stumbled across http://blurb.com, where you can design your own book and have it printed. I'm planning to make him a photo book centering around the birth of Mathias and our wedding, titled The Minjarez Family Begins, or something like that.

Any friends or family reading this, SHHHH. It won't arrive in time for his birthday, and all I've told him is I ordered something online that won't arrive for a while.
