Picture Perfect!

This picture of Matthew was taken at the zoo a few weeks ago - Aunt Meagan took it and it turned out absolutely PERFECT!!! Matthew was very interested in what the lion water fountain was...I think it would have been an even bigger hit if he knew there was water involved! We never would have been able to get him away from it!

New and Wonderful Things!

Matthew is changing so much every day! Today we were watching PBS and he actually was interacting and following along with what was going on in the shows! When the characters were dancing, Matthew danced and sang along - and when they cheered or got excited, Matthew clapped and got excited too! Go mental development! The only worrisome thing to me is the fact that he knows what a door knob does...AHHHH!

Wanna Be Just Like Dad!

Matthew loves to take glasses right off any face that has them - especially Dad's! He has also figured out that glasses can go on his face and loves to put Dad's glasses on any chance he gets!

That's Some Cute Cheese!

Matthew loves to eat cheese - so I gave him a square and got some excellent pictures!!

what's going on here??

I'm not sure what is up with my blog, but the posts that I am putting up are not all there - some of them only have the title while others have half the pictures and some are just not visible on the page...if you want to see what's here, I think you'll just have to click around to find all of them...sorry about that!

Now What?

Matthew decided it would be a good idea to climb into his toy chest...but after he couldn't get back out...he still thought it would be a good idea! For some reason he loves to climb into it! He has also learned to climb up onto the couch all by himself - and he can get his leg up on the side of the tub (I'm really not sure how I feel about that one - it is a nasty bump on the head in the making!) But kids will be kids and need to be able to explore, right? Wish us luck in these years of exploration!

Barnyard Boo!

This past week-end, we took Matthew to Barnyard Boo - a petting zoo with lots of fun activities for the kidlins out at Thanksgiving Point. I think Matthew's favorite part of the whole thing was the wagon ride...which was pulled by a tractor (that's the part he was really excited about) We got to sit right in the front of the wagon behind the tractor. He also "won" a few prizes...some green plastic vampire teeth and a cute little bat eraser that is hidden from him - it is just the right size to be considered food! He also got to feed some tiny little goats - I don't remember what they were called, but they were Matthew sized! He was very excited to have them so close to him! He loves animals! (And no, we did not feed any fingers to the horses!)

New Family Picture

It has been quite a while since I added anything to the blog...well, better late than never, right? Our awesome sister Meagan is such a great photographer! And she agreed to take pictures of our little family before our Brooklyn is born and then after she is born! The before pictures are BEAUTIFUL!! Thanks so much Meg!
