Lombardi Family

Giggles

The little one is really staring to get the giggles. He laughs when his daddy makes the motor boat noise with his mouth. He giggles when Jackson gives him a big bright smile and talks to him. And I get him going by doing just about anything I can, no matter how silly I look or sound because his giggles are worth being the silliest mom.

Fitting right in

It's Sunday afternoon in the Lombardi house and Matty knows just what to do, take a nap on the couch. As I type this he's been down for about 4 hours, a boy needs his time to grow. And he sleeps just about anywhere, with all kinds of noise that a 9 year old brother can make. The joy of a second child.

First swing at the park

This evening Matty and I joined dad and brother for a trip to the park. The big boys had a soccer kick around and Matty and I explored the swing area. The sun was bright, light breeze, perfect temperature, and Matty LOVED the gentle movement of the swing. A fun adventure.

Mama's helper

Little man has been going with me to get my nails done since he was two weeks old. Sometimes he stays in his little car seat, somedays he is in the wrap, today he sat on my lap and sucked my arm. Thankfully Jana loves to see Matty and his sweet cheeks.

BOGEY dads

Boys Out Golfing Every Year (BOGEY). And these two members are the most recent to have new baby boys. Little Lars was born to Tork and Andrea this past thursday, and like Matteo he was long hoped, wished and prayed for. The dads are already taking about when these two little guys will join them on the course. Watch out.

Saturday morning sleepy head

This little boy slept 9 hours last night straight through. Then got up, had a nice bottle, some giggles, coos and storytelling before quietly going back to sleep. Happy 12 week birthday baby boy.

Soccer watching brother

Matteo gets all decked out to watch his brother play soccer. His little blue eyes are sensitive to the sun, so he is happy to have the shades on. Jackson made a goal, had an assist and couple of saves in his game today.

Saturday mornings

This is what we do when we don't have a soccer game to run off to, snuggle in bed. It's a little crazy, two adults, a good size 9 year old, a little bundle and usually the golden retriever. I love it, absolutely my favorite time of the week.

This morning, I heard the little bundle rustling in his cradle so I poked my head over and he was laying happy and content. And he loves sitting here with dad watching his brother and starting to giggle when his daddy tickles him.

Mike got up with Matty in the night and found Matty rolled from his tummy to his back!

Everyone is happy and healthy this morning, this will be an amazing day!

Last bit of loose ends.

Just a couple of random pics from March and April.

Matty discovered the big colorful box that hangs on our wall on March 18.  In this picture he was like "hey wait a minute what is that up there and why am I just now seeing it".  It still catches his attention every now and then.  

Matteo took his first shower with Daddy on March 21st and LOVED it!  And he is really enjoying his bath now too.  Kicks his legs, loves having water wash over his head.

I captured this brotherly love on March 23, I think it was a Saturday morning, we usually all snuggle Saturday morning if we don't have some place to be early in the morning and this just makes me happy beyond words.

Mark and Derek met Matteo for the first time on March 8.  Jackson is so proud to show his brother to his friends.

This is how things like dinner preparation get done around here...Matteo swaddled in our wrap.  He loves it in there, usually settles him right down if he's fussy and gives me a chance to cook dinner, fold laundry and such.

In April, it's been full on smiles all the time - he is one happy baby (unless we are in the car, then he is a very unhappy baby).

And the brotherly love continues.  In this picture, the boys are laying on the couch watching TV and perfectly content.  I think this is my future as Jackson introduces Matty to all things Disney channel, XGames, the FOX soccer channel, etc.  

 

Vaccines

Little buddy had his last two vaccines of his four total from his two month check up today. It was just a quick appointment, but while we were there we weighed him. 11 pounds 6 ounces, growing good. Right after I snapped this pic he screamed, and broke my heart with two crocodile tears. Glad that is over, until the next time.
