Egg Hunt. She spotted one across the yard.

Jammin' Along

Matthew is becoming more brave everyday. He is in a stage of bumps and bruises, but he is have fun exploring everything!

Matthew is 9 months!

Matthew is now 28 inches tall (37%) and weighs 17 pounds and 12 ounces(8 %). He has grown like crazy these last few months. Is now curious about everything and has developed a large personnality. I love reading, singing, playing, and talking to him. He acts to understand and laughs and pays attention so well. He has started to baby babble to himself followed by laughing, it is still one of the cutest things I have seen.

Lindsay absolutley loves playing and helping her baby brother! I am already telling her that only mommy tells Matthew no, but she is still trying to correct him. We will have to work on the oldest sister bossiness (from first hand experience, it may be a long battle)!

Documented by Lindsay

This is what Lindsay can do in the time it takes me to change Matthews diaper, give him medicine, and lay him down. She even documented it for me!

First unroll all the aluminum foil

wrap car in said unrolled aluminum foil

"cook car"

Take car out of oven.

In the words of Lindsay, she now has a "cute" car!

* Thankfully Lindsay can not reach the controls to turn on the oven. She also had a refresher course of the rules of the oven. 

Time for a hair cut!

At almost 7 months old, Matthew gets his first haircut. I loved how his hair gathered on top in to a cute little curl, but Joseph was convinced it made him look like a girl! Good news, it still has a little curl when left messy!

Hopefully the next time isn't so traumatizing! His cute little face looks so sad!
