it's been a busy few weeks!

Well, it's official-- Matthew is really crawling! Not "commando" crawling, army style, but really zooming past us on the floor. He is also pulling up and getting into way too much stuff-- the file cabinet, going through our DVDs, etc. But that's what makes life fun! He is also enjoying the swing at the park (the pic below was his first swing ride in April), and also loves biting mommy's arms. (A few people have asked if I'm being beaten-- and I just say it's by my 11 month old). We're working on resolving that issue.....



Look how much he's grown! This was taken last week.... look at his hair!

help I'm trying to escape!

Matthew fell asleep while trying to break out of his crib =)

Peekaboo, I love you!

The other night, Matthew figured out he could look through the slats of his high chair--he was so cute and fun!

Cool Dude!

Pictures from our day at the arboretum (taken by Uncle Andrew). We had a great time on our picnic, and then looking at all the flowers-- although Mr. Matthew got a little tired!

why buy toys

Why do we buy toys? If you'll look at the picture closely- Matthew has a ton of toys on the left, but what is he playing with? The handle on our china cabinet!! He also loves paper and pens-- maybe I should shop at office depot instead of babies r us!
