Yes, it is true! I was so happy to be able to have found some old photos from when Mattie was a baby. You must understand that this was the digital age was just starting - we didn't even have a digital camera! These were pictures from my mom - and stills that we took with our digital video camera (which was a baby shower present from Mom before Matthew made his appearance).
Oh sweet little baby. And those kids around him? Me and Dave - plunged into parenthood for the first time. I have to say we didn't know what in the world we were doing :-O.
I had no idea then that I would love being a mother so very very much.
You cannot tell from the photo, but this was taken in the middle bedroom of Apartment 1 of the Ohio apartment.
Here he is in the hospital bassinet - the first day of his life.
He was born at UCLA hospital.
First week of life, and you can see he already has opinions!
2 months old. No longer a skinny wrinklesquirm newborn - becoming juicy and already so attached to Mama. And I was also so attached to my koala baby.
Cutie pie.
You can see that Matthew has always always had a special bond with computers - and our beloved Uncle Steve :-). Matthew is about 18 months old here in our old San Diego condo.
About 19 months old, and we went to visit John and Eunice who then lived in North Carolina. Little Matthew is helping John compose a photo.
Our little family back then.
Two years old and helping Nai Nai walk Toddie. Toddie has now gone to his earthly reward :-(.
A Halloween photo when he was 3 and a half. Matthew has always loved helping in the kitchen - even from when he would just ride on my hip when I would cook.
And this was just taken a couple of weeks ago in the snow. What a grown up boy!
Happy, happy birthday dear Matthew! We love you so very much!
You have changed so much over the last 10 years, and your dad and I have changed more because of you.
May the LORD bless you, and we pray that He will fill your heart.
