The Meyer Monkeys: Matai

Matai

Sorry it's taken so long but there are more to come! Matai is such a trooper...he was really sick this past week and the doctor said he was developing ear infections in both ears and he has bad congestion due to a cold he got from me, Scotty, and Brett. I feel terrible that my little guy has to go through this. He is feeling a lot better and is steadily gaining weight. I am amazed at how he is growing - he will be outgrowing the 0-3 month size clothing within the next week or two. Scotty is a great big brother, and always wants to kiss or hold his little brudder.
