Some new footage of Matthew

Hi everyone,

Matthew has come a long way in the past week or so.  We have embarked on sleep training which has made a huge difference for the wee man.  Last night he was in bed for 13.5 hours!!  He only had 1 feed when Lisa went to bed and he is now putting himself to sleep which is good for our backs and our sanity.  His day napping has also improved lots - especially in duration.

We went swimming this morning, it is becoming a weekly ritual on Fridays - he loves it more each time - we will try to work on getting some photos but the swimming pools are a bit funny about having cameras around.

Xmas tree went up yesterday, it will be interesting to see Matthew's reaction to the lights.

Here is some bath footage - not for the feint of heart if you are a bit funny with feet sucking!!??

Here is some footage of the tickle monster - great giggles

He has come a long way in the jolly jumper too!!!! bounce, bounce, bounce........ just like Tigger.

Bye for now....

Visit to Ontario

We recently returned from a trip to Ontario to visit with Lisa's family.  We had a wonderful time seeing everyone and introducing them to Matthew.  The poor little guy got a nasty cold, but he's now a seasoned traveller with four airplane rides under his belt.  (Excellent preparation for the much longer flights to New Zealand in a few months!)  Here are some photos from the trip:

Prenatal Class Reunion

October 22nd update

Hi everyone,

Matthew weighed in at 13lb 13oz yesterday.  He is becoming much more aware of his surroundings and is much more distractible, even when engaged in his favourite activity which is eating.  He is becoming more interactive and gives us plenty of smiles.  He loves the bath and the shower and would probably spend all day in there if he could.  Here is a video of Matthew in the shower with Dad:

The drooling has also picked up the pace in the last week or so with a bib now a common fashion accessory

Here are a couple of his latest photos:

The grown up look:

The not so serious look:

 

Jolly Jumper Fun!!!!!

Roll Over!!!

He has rolled over a couple of times, Lisa managed to get some footage but it required some tricky camera work, please be patient while you look at our duvet cover in between rolls - this is something that he seems to do very irregularly.

Welcome to the Walls family blog

Hi everyone,

Just started this blog to keep everyone updated.  We will try to put up photos, video and any exciting news about what we have been up to.

 Last week we went for a walk around Lighthouse park in West Vancouver, here are a couple of pics from that
