Matthew's 16 Month Birthday!

Wow, another month old.  Matthew is growing and developing so nicely.  His new thing is to shake his head yes and say "ya" to answer questions.  Matthew, do you want milk to drink? "Ya with the head shake.  So cute.  He is into everything and is now climbing on the furniture.  He can climb into his rocking chair, but he needs help getting out.  On Tuesdays he goes to story time at the Shaler Library and has a blast.  I love to see the excitment on his face when Miss Joy brings out the bubble machine. Some favorite toys are the vaccum cleaner and blocks.  He likes to take his shoes and throw them into the washer when mom is not looking.  Matthew loves summer time foods such as watermelon and strawberries.  He is doing well with this signs.  So far he has more and finished down which are incredibly helpful.  Still working on others, but they will come.  We started going to a pool and he loves to play in the water.  Soon enough he will be with his big brother and sister in the deep end. Do I dare say that he continues to be a great sleeper.  That makes everything so much easier.

I am with Matthew all the time, but I feel the days and months go so much faster with him.  Is he really 16 months old?  Next year at this time, he will be getting ready to go to preschool in the fall.  Unbelievable! 

Love you Matthew.  You smile and laugh bring me so much joy everyday!  So glad you are with me.
