The Magic House

This weekend was little sibs weekend at Maryville, which means that Brian had to work. Well today they took the students and their siblings to the Magic House so Matty and I joined in the fun. Matt had a blast, he is such a little explorer.

He gets so excited when he sees himself in the mirror

Father-son bonding time... building with blocks
Feeling the cool air blowI just love him so much. I put him in this car and he stood up right away and grabbed the steering wheel.

This video is sideways, but it is too cute not to post

Sick Baby

Well it happened, Matt got his first ear infection. You would have never none, since he was still is happy little self. He had a few nights of rough sleep due to a runny nose and lost of congestion. Then he spiked a fever and so I took him in and sure enough his right ear was infected. Poor guy, but I have loved the extra cuddle time.

This picture is old, but I thought it was a cute one. Matt loves hanging out in Daddy's chair

A Trip to the Park and Little Gym

Earlier this week, Brian and I took Matt to the park. The weather has been great this week, which I've loved since it was my Spring Break. Matt loved Bee Tree Park, he has always liked being outside, he especially liked the swings. Can't for for Spring to officially come so that we can be outside more.

Since I was off this week, I decided to take Matt to little gym, he enjoyed it for the most part. However, later that day he ended up at the doctors and we found out he had an ear infection. But he was such a trouper.

Hanging on tight

Short Videos of Matt

I know that my family just can't get enough of seeing pictures of Matt, well this post is a collection of short video clips from the past few weeks. I miss and love all of you in Ohio, can't wait to be back for a visit.

St Patty's Day Parade

It was sunny and mid 60-70's almost all week, although today it was cold and like 40 degrees, but that didn't stop us. We headed down town for the annual St Patty's Day Parade.

Playing Outside

Earlier this week we had a few days of beautiful weather, it was sunny and near 70 for like two days so we made sure to get outside. Matt loves being outside, whether it is on a walk or playing in the grass. We can't wait for more nice weather.

Ready for a walk with mommy

Me and my boy
Feeling the grass... he wasn't sure what to think

Just random pictures

This week we introduced meat for the first time, ground turkey, which Matt did not like at all. We mixed it with veggies but he gagged and eventually threw it all up. Oh well, it has gotten better though, he likes it now.

I just love this face (I am saving this picture for his future girlfriends)

For those of you that know me well, this almost made me sick... straight to the tub for him

Time to clean up our messy boy

Matt is rolling all over the place and the loves our dining room chairs, he is laughing/talking to himself in this pictureHe found his toys in his car seat

He can stand by himself against his activity table for a short time
