our day at the fair and arboretum

This fall has definitely been fun with Matthew! We've been to the arboretum a few times, and went to the fair a couple weeks ago as well. Here are some pics from our outings =)

announcing baby jelly bean!

Brett and I are so excited to announce that Matthew's going to be a big brother this April! I'm now 12 weeks along, and things are going well so far. Below is my sonagram at 8 weeks, and at my appointment this week, we're going to hear the baby's heartbeat! The "official" due date is April 3rd. Just a little more than 6 months, and we'll have a new addition to Team Tooley =)

just cute!

Matthew's first stairs

A few weeks ago, we were at a surprise b-day party, and Matthew was absolutely fascinated with the stairs-- he went up them 3 times!

Matthew looses his mullet

I apologize if there are any mullet fans out there..... Well, I never thought I'd say this-- my son had a mullet! I knew the back of his hair was getting long, but it wasn't until he was taking a bath that I noticed HOW long it had gotten. So right then and there, Brett held Matthew, and I cut the mullet-part off. It looks way better!

new pics!

Long time no write! Matthew is now 13 months olds (which I can't believe!) Matthew is now a pro at turning the TV in our bedroom on, and he's also figured out the volume button-- he can make it go to deafening sounds in 3 seconds flat! We're getting close to walking on his own, but he's getting really good at walking with his little toy lion walker. He's getting more and more fun everyday-- with everything he's exploring and getting into (putting his hand in the toilet, eating dirt... all that fun boy stuff!)

3 years

Tomorrow, Wednesday, August 6, Brett and I have been married for 3 years-- can you believe it! The last 3 years have been full of lots of joyful times, and some sad times, but I couldn't imagine a more wonderful man to be married to through all of it. I love you Brett, and look forward to 70 more! (that will make us really, really, old.....)
Here are some pics from our wedding:
