Desperate times call for desperate measures.  A ride on the washing machine bought us twenty minutes without crying: the longest stretch of the day.

All snuggled-up for a star-spangled Sunday afternoon snooze.  (Matthew also had his first bottle today during church.  He even managed not to spit up all of it: victory!)

Grandma helped shield Matthew from the wind while we watched the girls at their "Kindersports" class at the YMCA this morning.

Sadly, Grandma had to go home today.  I think Matthew is going to spend the next few days wondering, "where did that nice other-mommy-lady go??"  Thanks for coming, Mom!  It was a great week!!!

More little proto-smiles.  I love love LOVE this picture!  We put him on a blanket for some tummy time and he just made the sweetest face.

Matthew was resting on a blanket in his bouncy seat when all of a sudden Grandma started talking in a seat nearby.  He turned his head and gave a cute little proto-smile right in her direction!

Matthew's favorite place to be this week: on Grandma's lap.  (And his favorite thing to hear this week?  "This is the Grandma.  You WILL remember me..." :)

Sleeping in his car seat while Grandma treats the rest of the family to ice cream cones.  Sorry, Matthew: maybe next year you can slather yourself sticky like everyone else.
