Catching up part II

Ok, life's been pretty crazy, but it's time to catch up again.

We've been doing trips to the beach a lot lately, sometime in good weather, sometimes in bad.  Matt has an absolute blast throwing rocks and helping Jamie turn over rocks to look for sand crabs.

Since he likes getting into the water a little, we bough him some water socks.  That lasted until his toes hit and he just shouted "COLD!" and he froze up.   Instead he now has some rockin' boots for the beach.  These worked much better at preventing soaked cold feet.  We just have to wait until he grows into them now.

Elicia and Ryan joined us for lunch and some time at the park a few weekends back.  Matt still loves the swing.

Grandpa and Grandma Johnson came over with their big truck and let Matt "Drive".  Nobody told me about this so I was kind of surprised when I took him to the store and the whole way all I heard from the back seat was an urgent " Drive, drive, drive, drive!"  so when we got home I put him in the front seat and he went nuts playing with the steering wheel and any buttons he could reach.  15 years from now is going to be a scary time on the road.

One day when it was getting sunny, we dug out a baseball cap for him to wear ( Thanks Craigs!)  He absolutely loves it, and sometimes likes to wear it around the house.

We also got out his booster seat and let him sit at the table after his done with the majority of his food.  He's so proud of himself sitting at the table like a big person, it cracks me up.

He's also developed a fondness for the fat cat.  (At least somebody has) He follows him around "Chicken, hold!"  and we let him sit down and hold the cat.  It never lasts long though.

Matt was in need of another haircut.  The place with the airplanes and cars was really cool, but at $25, it was a one time deal.  Time to break out the clippers.

Looking long over those ears buddy.

Much better!

This is the top of his drum.  Don't ask me to explain what he's doing.

Lastly some videos.  We gave him angel hair spaghetti the other day.  It was a big hit, but it's hard to eat with little fingers.

The other night I was cleaning some stuff up in the kitchen and Matt was being a treat, so to distract him, we played baby bull fighting.

Happy Easter everybody!
