A Good Week

TOUCHDOWN MATTHEW

We had a great week in the Chenery household. Matthew is still working on three molars which should cut any day now. Another cut a few weeks back. He seems to be happy and fine with it with the exception of some foods which hurt to chew. He continues to run all around the house and chases the dogs with all new meaning. We took a short trip to the Ettwein house to visit with baby Kendall on Wednesday. She was born last Sunday and was a whopping 9 pounds 2 ounces and 23.5 inches! Much, much bigger than Matthew at birth. Matthew took it upon himself to flirt with Brian's mom and Erin while I held Kendall. Matthew did very well while I was holding her. He was curious when she cried or made little baby sounds, always coming over to check it out. At one point he places his hand on her head as if trying to comfort her. I was happy to see that he never got jealous of her.

Yesterday Ryan and I went to East Lansing for the Notre Dame/Michigan State football game. We left the house around 10:00 a.m. to tailgate with friends and returned about 10:00 p.m. It was a beautiful day and a great ballgame. Since we were gone, Matthew played all day with Aunt Sarah! They got to enjoy the nice weather with a walk around the neighborhood and Matthew did a nice job of running Aunt Sarah all over the house. I think she was a little tired when she left. We have four more home games this season, so Matthew ill get to enjoy four more Saturdays with family.

We woke him up this morning around 9:00 and went out to breakfast as a family. This was a first for Matthew and as always he enjoyed it. As usual we have another busy week ahead of us. With each passing week we see more changes in Matthew and the things he is now able to do and want to do. He is becoming more daring with himself and tries new things all the time.

We took a few photos of Matthew in his new MSU jersey. Though it is a bit big on him, he is still cute! Enjoy
