Sam's favorite place to be after Matt wakes up from his nap.

Camping with the Young Women

Well a year has passed

Can you believe it?????

Our little boy is 1. Where did the time go?


Look at those jawls.


Tough Guy pose


Teeth... He has 7 and one more might pop through before his b-day tomorrow.


Smiley guy!!!!


Am I in trouble?


Such a chewer


Linds and I were talking and next thing we knew he was asleep in the basket. He loves fleece blankets.


Didn't want the grass to touch his skin


Loaf of ciabotta bread we made.


I couldn't find him one day and this is where he was.




He is just about walking. He stands by himself very well for short amounts of time until he realizes it and then he stops.

We have been so blessed to have this little boy come into our life. He is such a joy and a very easy going baby. We love him and can't imagine our family without him:)

11 Months

Yesterday Matt was 11 months old and he celebrated by standing 5 seconds on his own no prompting from me or anything he stood up with the laundry basket and just let go. By 1 year I am afraid he is going to be running.

True Boy

Yesterday Sam came running into me crying. I couldn't figure out what was wrong then here comes Matt crawling behind her. He was chasing her trying to attack her. Oh man it has already started, she better learn to fight back:)





Beaver Teeth


Prisoners in the crib. Sam loves to get in the crib every morning with him

Left him to play while I did the dishes came back and found him like this so I laid him down.



So Happy!! Can't believe he has been a part of our lives for 10 short months.

Big Boy

Grant and I were cooking dinner last night I turned around to check on the kids and couldn't find Matt. He had crawled from our Kitchen which is on the west side of our house to our bedroom which is on the east side of our house. Watch out!!!! He is definitely mobile:( They grow up way too fast.

Growing up

This week Matt learned to crawl on all 4's and go back to the sitting position. He also has been going to his knees and pulling himself up. Why can't he just learn to do one a week? AGHHHH they grow up so dang fast.


Smiles

I am busted

Who me?



Standing playing


Cheese


Crawling



Giddee up

He loves Sam and gets excited when she is around.

Is that Mama I hear?

Way overdue

Who can guess what I am doing?





Got Milk?


This is how I found him sleeping


And last but not least he is getting mobile.....YIKES!!!

9 Months

TOMORROW.....I can't believe it where did time go? To celebrate he broke a tooth through. Now he has two big chompers:)

Pic of tooth and more

after haircut pic below is all the hair we cut off



his tooth on the left right before it goes into shadow

Matt before the haircut realizes it is him in the mirror

Sitting up

Well Matt has been sitting up for a couple of weeks really well. We would always get him to try and he would fall immediately forward. One day I put a toy up for him to play with and he never fell over. Come to find out he could sit up for we don't know how long he was falling forward to eat his toes.... Silly bulldog boy. (bulldog is his nickname if you look at some of his pics when he sticks out his bottom lip he gets jowls like a bulldog)

Grant takes him during church and yesterday we both got to nursery about the same time to pick Sam up and Matt got so excited he about jumped out of Grants arms for me. He wiggles and moves so much when he gets excited and then starts screaming.

He stands up and goes over Sam's shoulders he is growing so big and is wearing 12 months clothing; on some things he and Sam will be sharing before too long:)

Santa and the snow found us:)

Our entry into our house. I guess this is what it feels like to be snowed in your own house. Snow is taller than Sam.



See Santa even left snow foot prints on the carpet. Oh and if you go in close enough you can see that Santa won't wait until Christmas eve to put presents together again. There were parts missing on the Kitchen set and so it has no doors.

8 Months

Wow can't believe he is 8 months already. And he had a tooth break through last night.

BIG MOUTH!! and my sister

Sister has a new thing of wanting to hold me all the time now even though I am the same size as her.
