Happy Ten Month Birthday, Matthew

Yesterday, Matthew turned ten months.  He has grown so much over the last four weeks.  He has been talking more and more.  His word list consists of "da da," "ba ba," "pap pap," and sort of "ma ma."  He waved last week to himself in the mirror and did the sign for "more." (12/16/11)  His favorite game is peek-a-boo.  Bath time is great fun at this age since Matthew loves to splash in the water.  He loves to throw his toys quite vehemently I might add.  It is so funny to watch.  When he is sitting and now standing, he loves to do this bounce motion.  When we say "ya ya ya," he does it more--so cute!  Matthew is everywhere and into everything.  He has figured out how to open the cabinet doors in the kitchen and has begun to pull items out to the floor.  Fun!  He likes to climb on things so I need to be extra careful.  I think he is going to be another very social child.  In Kindermusick, he is so comfortable that he leaves me and crawls around to see all of the other babies.  He still continues to smile at everyone.  He is such a Happy Baby!
