Welcome to the world Matthew!

This is my new cousin Matthew. He was born Friday, October 17th and is so cute! I got to be there and see him and now I am not the baby anymore. He has a head full of dark hair and is just beautiful! When he gets older, I will have to show him the ropes!
After Matthew was born, we went back over to Uncle Robert and Aunt Betsy's to regroup. There, Rob shared his toys with me and Nana and Pops gave me a new cell phone and keys. You can see the cell phone in this picture.
Then we went back to the hospital and William was there! That's right, William from "Anne Harman loves William." He was so sweet to me! Here he is tickling me and making me laugh! I just love William!
Here, William is helping me walk! I am starting to get the hang of it and even took my first two steps this weekend. I have not done it since but it is a beginning! For dinner, we went to a steakhouse where I ate lots of food! Rob and I did so well at dinner even though it was way past our bedtime! We went straight to sleep when we got home.
The next morning, we woke up and ate breakfast. I had fun sitting at the table with Rob. We had nutragrain bars and fruit. At one point I got a little fussy and Rob tried to share his lovey with me. He is such a good sharer!
After breakfast, I found the gold mine! In their armoire there are a gazillion toys! I had fun taking them out and Rob had fun cleaning up after me. He likes to clean.
This is Nana playing with one of Rob's cleaning toys that came with his vacuum. I thought it was so fun when she tickled me with the duster.
Before we came back to Birmingham we went to the hospital for one last visit and I got to see Matthew again. I saw them wheeling him around in his bassinet and wanted to so it myself. For some reason, Mama did not really want me doing this but I think that I was a big help!
Sunday, we ate at Billy's and that is when Mama and Dada realized that I can drink from a straw. Most of the time I would swallow the water but sometimes I just wanted to let is drain from my mouth. My Overalls were soaking wet!
Then Nana stopped by on her way home from LaGrange. She read me lots of books and played with my toys. I hid behind the couch some which I thought was funny. She was glad that she got to see me again this weekend and so was I!
This weekend was wonderful because now we have a bigger family! I am so glad that Matthew was born healthy and happy. They say he is a really good baby and I am glad for Robert,Betsy and Rob. I can't wait to see him again!
