15 Minutes of Fame (already)

This appeared in one of our local papers during the holidays; much to our surprise... The copy is terrible but I wanted to share.

What's New...

Our Monkey turned 10 months old yesterday and we can't believe how fast the time is going by. The changes that have occurred in the last couple of months have been amazing. Matty is so social and interactive now, he is hilarious. He claps, stands, dances, and gives the best kisses (my favorite)! He also has learned how to turn things on and off which is amazing to me. He lifts his arms when he wants to be held but is also becoming so independent. It's next to impossible to keep him contained, he's much happier being on the go. He likes the stairs, and yes he has figured out how to climb them. Thankfully we are able to block his access to the stairs with some gates. He loves quietly and calmly reading books or beating the crap out of anything and everything in sight; he runs the gamut.

We've had a crazy, fun-filled couple of months. In early November we got to visit with Team C from Seattle and meet Matty's new cousin Mikey (he's a doll). We also got to go watch Henry fly a plane (very cool!). We worked our way through Thanksgiving, a bunch of birthday's, holiday parties, and Christmas. Now we're looking forward to a quiet New Years Eve at home.

School is still fabulous and Matty loves it there. He painted Henry and me a picture frame for Christmas (see below).

More pictures showing our recent escapades can be found through the link on the right. Enjoy!

My Christmas Wish

"Dear Santa, all I want for Christmas is a healthy, happy baby."

That's been the wish I've had for more years than I can count.

This year, my wish was granted in spades...

Thank you Henry - Matty is the greatest gift I could have ever wished to receive.

ILUBSMSM!

9 Months and counting

Matty's 9 month "well child" visit was today (he'll be 10 months on Friday) and he's doing so well! Sleeping like a champ, eating everything in sight, and growing like a weed.

22 lbs

29.5 inches (3 inches taller than his last visit)

He's had a few minor colds and some congestion but all in all he's remained very healthy.

We have so many updates but there's just never enough time.... Here's a picture of the big boy and hopefully we'll have more updates for you all soon.

*Mom C - I PROMISE to try to get some videos up soon...

School Days

We're in the middle of week four and I'm pleased to say that Matty LOVES school. It is going so much better than I could have ever expected and it is so much fun to watch him grow and change every day. At 8 months he's in the middle of the pack, four students are older and the rest are much younger. He really gravitates to the older kids and he seems to be learning so much from them. Here's a snapshot of what he's been up to...

Playing with leaves to experience the texture

"YAY! FOAM! Um... what do I do with it?"
