The Summer is Here!

Saturday, June 28th, 2008

Today we went to White Pine beach with a group of moms and their babies.  I guess I need to say toddlers now that they are all over a year.  We all had so much fun! There was sand in every single crevice on Matthew’s body. But he didn’t care!  He dove into the water a few times and took in some water but recovered nicely after I swooped and saved him.   He got a little more timid around the water after those few times. The funniest part of the day was when he strolled up to some bikini wearing teenagers and started dancing to their music and then just stood there and stared at them. I couldn’t figure out what was going on and then I discovered he was jonesing for their french fries. Lets just say my son is not SKINNY.  Although he is starting to thin out from all the exercise he does.   He keeps us both SO busy!  Here are some pictures

These are a few pictures from our camping trip up to NOrth Bend with Erik and Jodi.

wow does time ever fly by.

Matthew is almost 13 months now. He keeps us VERY busy thus the lack of blogging! I am going to try and share some pictures later but I have to resize them all before I put them on here and that takes alot of time. So Mr matthew is up to alot lately. He is crawling SO fast and we can’t leave him for a minute because we find him in the most peculiar places. He loves to crawl under things like the table and chairs. The other day he TRIED to get under his LITTLE leap frog table which is really tiny. He totally got stuck and we needed to bail him out. When he can’t do something he wants to he screams. Which was kind of cute at first but now it is getting a tad bit irritating!! He does walk but prefers to crawl. When he does get walking he is SO excited and proud of himself. He loves to eat and will pretty much eat anything you put in front of him thus the chubby cheeks and chubby thighs! He is starting to thin out now that he is SO active

He gives kisses and squishes his lips together and scrunches his nose up and gives me kisses! It is so sweet!

We have had a big change lately. I have started back to work lately. It is only two days a week and every fourth friday. So not bad at all! He is so happy with my mom and gets spoiled all day long! My mom and him play the game grandma spider. My mom will say in a deep voice grandma spider is coming, and matthew shrieks with excitement and bounces up and down….he get smothered in kisses and just loves the whole game.

He loves dancing and bounces to the music, sways his arms back and forth or in circles. He also “raises the roof” when we say it.

He climbs up and down the stairs although we are still trying to get him to go down properly instead of trying to go down forward.

Overall we are madly in love with him and he has changed out lives so much. I have never been so proud of something before. He is such a good baby…I guess I have to say toddler now!

Matthew turned one on April 18th and we had 3!!!! parties. We had at my mom’s house with my family and family friends. He got SPOILED!!!!! Lots of gifts!!! Lots of cake!!! Lots of tickles!!!! He loved the cake and ate quite a large piece…we were kind of worried he would get sick but he didn’t. We had a second party for him at Alex’s mom’s house with his side of the family. Again he got SPOILED!!!! He again LOVED the cake! He made quite a mess with it all over the kitchen floor, little chocolate pieces EVERYWHERE! The third party was at NIcole’s house and it was a party for her son Connor and Matthew for our baby group. It was fun and Nicole made some YUMMY food! ANother cake for my son! By this point I am sure you are not wondering why my son is on the chubby side although he does eat alot of fruit, veggies, meat etc. He only got sweets those three times!
