almost one year

It is amazing to me how much Matthew has grown in just the last 2 weeks. He went from taking little steps to full on walking around the living room. He still can't go from sitting and crawling to standing yet but he can pull himself up and then walk around. It's so cute because he gets so excited that he is walking that he bobbles around and then falls. I love it. :-) He has had some mishaps though. He was dancing to some music the other day, while opening a drawer on our desk. He got so excited he slammed the drawer into his left eye and it swelled up a little bit. Cam was a little worried but he is fine now. Left a little mark, but he is a-ok.


He also has 6 teeth. He has four on top and two on the bottom. He was pretty cranky with the last two that came in. Overall he has been really good with teething.
He eats more food all by himself all the time now. His favorite food is still green beans and carrots. :-) he isn't that fond of pasta. He just pokes at the noodles and then, when i try to put a noodle in his mouth, he gags like he is choking, and pushes the noodle out of his mouth. Its hilarious.

He also has decided that this monkey he has, is his new best friend. He even has to hold it when he eats. I try taking it away and he throws a fit until i give it back.


We had blueberry pancakes the other morning. He loved them. Unfortunately, his behind didn't enjoy them so much. So we are going to hold off for now till he gets a little older.
