FADAB

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).
