No surprise I'm sure that Matthew continues to get bigger, and more active. He's getting close to crawling.
Another of his favorite things is pulling hair, so if you come to visit him lookout! (Look what he's done to mine!)
He's also taken to blowing raspberries at you.
He still loves bathtime, but it's gotten a bit sporting now, since he's figured out that he can reach the faucet and pull himself up to standing.
Every night when taking him out of the tub he reaches up and grabs the curtain rod and tries to hang of if it.
Sitting up has become no problem for him.
You do have to watch out for inherent hazards when playing with strings.
We made it through the "seattle heatwave". 102 and no A/C isn't really fun, especially when trying to get a baby to go to sleep. It got so hot that Matthew was trying to cool down anyway he could.
The heatwave also led to his first pool experience. Luckily he loves the pool.
We got an aquarium membership, so we've gone a few times in the last month. One Friday we went with a friend of mine and his son who turned 1 that day. Matthew and Dylan were fascinated by the fish, and each other.
I need some more pictures of food time, but his diet has expanded quite a bit now, and he has become some what of a veracious eater. I call it the "baby bird pose" head back, mouth open as wide as it will go. He hasn't said any words yet, but when he sits in the high chair, he says "yum yum" I'm pretty sure he thinks that means food.
The current Menu -
Potatoes
Squash
Avocado
oatmeal
blueberries
eggs
(I'm sure there's more, Jamie will fill it in)
Jamie and I went to the dentist last week, they gave Matthew his own toothbrush (it's actually a teether) It's used as a tub toy, I've found it stimulates a lot of drool.
Craig the bear has now become a tackling dummy.

Look at all those teeth!
Tired boy.
Really Mom?
Matthew doesn't like Binkies, but this one he finds fun to chew on.
