1 week old and new "pets"

Matthew is one week old today. We are loving having this cute little guy in our home.

The other day I found that Madelyn was making sure Matthew was well taken care of by sharing one of her stuffed animals with him.
Yesterday at dinner, Matthew politely waited for us to finish. He put his little hands like that all on his own while he was sleeping. (So I found out after I posted this that Aaron actually helped with the interlocking of ALL his fingers. He only had a few fingers interlocked. Oops, I just thought Aaron had put his hands up like that.)
Today I also got to buy two new "pets". Ashlie came up to me with her "bird" with a for sale tag on it. It was $2.00 so I wrote out a paper $2.00 and promptly bought the bird.
After that a dog came up for sale for $1.00. Another paper dollar later, I was the owner of this cute little dog.
After I bought it the dog went and got itself a license.

Matthew is so cute. I can't believe his little hands. You are very brave to take on a new baby as well as two new pets. If I could get a dog that cute though, I would do it on the spot.

Oh, Matthew is adorable!
It looks like your pet bird could be good friends with Christian's pet worm, squirmy. Ashlie is such a cutie.
Tell everyone hi and that we miss them!
