I love this kid...

He's Getting So Big!

My little Matthew....why are you doing this to me?

Please stop getting so big!

Ok. Well, the pacifier helps make you look a little younger. Thanks.

Matthew is getting bigger and bigger each day. He finally got a third tooth this week....his walking is getting better and better and I often find him standing in the middle of the room looking around waiting for lots of and lots of praise for walking like a big boy (which he gets, of course).

His vocabulary includes:

Mama
Daddy
Ducky
Birdie
Cheese
"T" (as in the letter..he likes that letter, it's his favorite)
Star
Moon
Matthew
"pray for us!"
"Brush you teeth"
Kitty
Doggie
Please
Thank you
More Water
Milk
Shoes

I think I've left a few things out...but it gives you a good idea. He's a babbler with a very high little voice that suits his personality.

He's a little lovebug, often giving kisses to whoever he can. His kisses usually consist of going up to his intended object of affection and butting it with his head and saying in a prolonged way, "N-n-n-n-nuh!" He loves kisses his brother, especially while Michael is helpless during a diaper change.

Matthew is a hearty eater of the highest order. He is rarely ever picky and seems to take to devouring his food with a degree of seriousness. Like it's his job. Meanwhile his brother dilly-dallies during most meals, stalling as long as possible.



Matthew is just a little sweetheart. He's sensitive, yet determined and can be a bit whiny at times. But that doesn't diminish his cuteness (well, maybe for a few minutes it does). Matthew continues to be an excellent sleeper and a steady napper, unless his brother who has nearly giving up the practice entirely.



Our little Moo. What a gift!

Are You My Mother?

Michael and I were reading this book before his naptime.

I asked him, "Do you have a mother?"

"Yes" he replied.

"Who is your mother?" I asked.

"Daddy."
