You've Been Served...

Guess what I did today. I started walking! :) I have been practicing for a couple of months now and decided to bust out my moves on camera. See?



Anyway. Mommy, Daddy, consider yourselves served! I will be into more things now.

MUA HA HA!

Things are just starting to get really good...

That's what I imagine my son thinking. He's 18 months old today and into EVERYTHING! This includes cleaning out the cat's litter box and depositing the contents on the dining room floor...

by hand.

Yeah, I thought that would get you all just a little bit. :) No worries, the hand has been sanitized and he seems none too worse for the experience. Mommy and Daddy may need some therapy because of it though.

Happy 1 and a half birthday, Son! I'm looking forward to many more adventures with you. You need to learn to walk without holding on to something before we do that, however. :)

14-Months Old (and a day or two)

Things Matthew knows how to do:
Unroll the toilet paper roll
Pull all of the Kleenex out of the box
Pull all of the diaper wipes out of the box
Dump out the kitty cat's food
Spill the kitty cat's water
Say "Uh-oh!"
... and as of yesterday, pull himself to a standing position.

Happy Birthday to ME!!!

I'm 1 year old today! :) While Mommy wasn't looking, I sneaked down to the rec room and hacked onto Daddy's laptop to post again. Daddy needs to come up with a password that I can't figure out.

I'm a year old today! Mommy's busily trying to burn down the house while cleaning the oven, so I only have a few minutes left. All my fans should send me money and presents because I'm really cute and I'm a whole year old!

I heard them all talking about something called cake and ice cream that I'll get to experience today and I can't wait to do something they aren't expecting. It'll be so much fun!

Uh-oh - Mommy got the smoke detectors to stop so she'll be looking for me any minute now, so I have to go now.

Later, Gator! :)

10 Months

My son turned 10 months old 3 days ago. I have to admit that he's a really cute little guy. His 4 little teeth coming in are pricelessly adorable. He gained 2 pounds since his last visit to the doctor, a little fact that makes his pediatrician very happy.

I'm happy I could bring you this little update. Matthew sends his best wishes and will hopefully be crawling by the time you get the next update. :)

A Little Over 9 Months Old

I just read my son's latest entries and I can tell you that he'll have something to answer for when I get home. I'm not sure where or how he's had access to my laptop to make those posts, but I can assure you I'll speak sternly to all 16 lbs of him.

Al least he's almost back on the weight charts and his doctor isn't as concerned about him as she was. He's able to sit up really well and will squeal, giggle, and emit various other noises happily especially if there are toys or people in reach.

It's hard to believe that it's closing in on a year since he first joined our family, but despite the lack of sleep, I've enjoyed each and every minute of his cute little face. I'm looking forward to all the adventures we'll have together over the years.

I love you Matthew, even though I'm going to have to cut off your access to my laptop. Where did you learn to type anyway?
