Just A Few Things We've Been Up To

- Michael finally got to use his Christmas present from me... Phoenix Suns tickets! Sadly, they lost at the very end - bummer! He still had fun though. He took his friend to the game while I stayed home with Matthew. And yes, he brought tissue for the nosebleed seats I bought him.

- Doctor visits. Matthew jumped from the 60th percentile in height and weight to the 80th percentile in height and weight. My little boy is not so little! And the kid loves to eat.


- Speaking of eating, Matthew is now getting a little more variety than just rice cereal and oatmeal. He has now also had bananas, prunes, and sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes were definitely his favorite of the three.... but I'm sure that once I start giving him the good stuff, he'll have new favorites. Oh, and he's quite the messy eater. He tries to feed himself. And then gets mad at me when I clean his face.


- I take Matthew on a walk every day... most often to the pool. We usually just put our feet in, but in a couple of months I'm going to buy him a baby float and we're going to go swimming every day. Sounds like the life to me.


- Grandma Kathy is in town! And she came with a cute basketball toy present for Matthew, which he adores.


- Lots of family time! I'm loving this stage of our lives. Even though I often feel really busy, I know that I'm really not in comparison to how busy I'll be in a few more years, and then a few more years after that.... and I'm enjoying all the time we get to spend as a family. Our current favorite activities include treating ourselves to frozen yogurt on Friday nights, playing Uno, and teaching Matthew new tricks. That kid is learning more and more every day!

Family time. I was playing too, but somebody had to take the picture. :-)
