Mateo's 1st Few Months 
Mateo hangs out on Mom & Dad's bed...check out that red hair! Surrounded by his Uncle, Aunts and cousins, Mateo meets his adoring family for the 1st time Mateo in one of his more serious moods 
Grandma & Grandpa Vincent talking with Mateo at a restaurant in Kankakee (1/2 way between our homes)  Yes, he's starting him early! Where's Mateo in all that camo? Mateo's first real bath with Daddy...and last.  The next time he "let it rip" all over the bath and Mommy!  (YUCK!)
Great Grandmother Mary holding Mateo for the 1st time Aunt Jenny changing Mateo - quite a different experience for a mother of 3 girls, but as you can see, she has lots of help! A very happy moment for Mateo who has been talking & smiling quite regularly now.  What a treat!
