We've been fairly busy lately, and haven't had the chance to post anything for a week, so here are some new photos of our adorable little 5 week old.
In the last few days, Mateo has definitely been smiling at us. Whereas in the past, he produced brief hints of smile-like facial expressions that were questionably related to his emotional state, now it's pretty clear that he smiles when he's happy -- for example when Anita rubs his belly during his "naked baby time". This photo doesn't quite capture his full smile, which includes dimples, but hopefully we'll get one soon that does.
Mateo loves staring at faces, especially that of his beautiful mother (who always hooks him up with the good stuff).
We started trying out the mechanical swing chair this week. It's been hit or miss, so the verdict is still out on whether he's a swinger.
This weekend, Mateo was very lucky, since he got to meet his Granddad (Fonz - Anita's dad), Nana (Sherry - Anita's stepmom), as well as two of his Uncles (Jacob and Samuel - Anita's stepbrothers). They drove all the way from Phoenix (13+ hours each way) just to spend a day with Mateo and bring him lots of great gifts. This baby will certainly be spoiled by all 6 of his grandparents, not to mention his 7 great grandparents and one great great grandmother. Unfortunately, it was a particularly fussy day for Mateo, complete with an eye infection, but they loved him all the same, and Sherry taught us her expert baby comforting tricks (she raised 5 boys of her own). We're happy to report that his eye has cleared up, and his tummy troubles seem to be a bit better.
