A little of this and a little of that

Matt is almost five months old, I can't believe it. He is getting bigger each day, not sure how much he weighs right now. He is still in 0-3 month clothing, some 3-6 month stuff, but most of the pants just fall right off. He has rolled over a few times, so we are hoping soon that it will become a habit. Matt still loves to suck on his hands and every toy go straight to his mouth. We are definitely looking forward to our first Christmas with him, such a blessing. This time of year can be crazy and often we lose sight of the importance of Christmas, but Matt is a big reminder of how fortunate we are and truly blessed by God. Enjoy the random photos.
December is finally here, and so is the cold weather. No snow yet, but definitely cold enough for our Blue's car seat cover. Yes, I know more hockey. Matt is a Gardner, what do you expect?
A few weeks ago we got Matt's high chair out so that he could sit in it while we eat dinner. Well, he loves it, however this particular night dinner wore him out. (And he didn't even eat)

Me and Matty watching Daddy put the Christmas lights up, the house looks so good all decorated. I will have to try and take a picture.

This past Thursday was my 26th birthday, so we headed to dinner earlier in the week. We decided to eat at Red Robin, I love their BBQ chicken wrap, so yummy. While at the restaurant, Matt decided that he wanted to hold his own bottle. He has started to hold it on and off... Brian is really excited and hoping that Matt gets better at it soon.

Getting the family Christmas Tree

Last weekend we headed to Uncle Bob and Aunt Barbara's nursery to pick out our Christmas tree. We got a really nice tree and Matt had so much fun helping us pick it out. He loves the lights on the tree, anytime we turn them on he just stares at it them. Next year though, will be a different story, touching, staring, and probably destroying. Oh well, I am going to enjoy it while it lasts.
