Mattie

This boy of mine.. how fast he's growing up.. I can sit and watch him for hours and not get bored. This age of exploration. New words everyday. New talents, and milestones.

Dawn reminded me that I started this blog for a very specific reason, and that was to document and remember all those little things about the kids and our lives. I should be writing the little things down more often, and taking more pictures..

Mathew
My little baby boy.
He is my little chub. he spends 80% of his time running around in feety jammies, 10% naked, and the other 10% in actual clothes.. we like it that way.
He says a new word everyday.
here's a list of the ones he says regularly
Up
moy=More emphasis on 'oy'
dink=drink
peez=please
dain-do=thank you
nigh-nigh=night night
hooooooot(emphasis on t) =hot.. always said in a hushed whisper and drawn out
hat= much like hot but with a perfect a sound
binty=binky
baynty=blanket
doggy
guck!=truck Always said excitedly with any loud noise outside
out
HI!
bye bye
yuh you= love you
a-duh (with arms up in the air) = all done
a-goh(with arms up in the air= all gone
nishe=nice (said when torturing the dog, which he does often)
nose
eyes
brrrrrr -cold
cucu=something gross, or unappealing
okay more randomness....
he loves to play with his hot wheel trucks, loves chasing the dog and playing with the bicycle pump.
He is still a blanky boy.. when he's tired he will pick up his blanket and say "nigh-nigh".
Loves his binky , still takes two naps a day. goes to sleep around 7:30-8 and will sleep until 7-7:30 next morning.. ( I LOVE to sneak in before I go to bed and snuggle and rock him for a few minutes at night while he's sleeping.. I won't get to do that much longer)
He drinks mostly water, not much of a milk drinker. Loves eating but is a picky eater. doesn't like crackers, and other regular toddler favorites. Does like tomatoes, oranges, noodles, bowls of cereal (eaten all by himself with a spoon), and misc things depending on his mood. usually if I'm eating it, he'll want it... (THAT is typical toddler).
Has his 1 year old molars top and bottom. His top front teeth came in discolored (just the tips). We took him to the dentist and the dentist said it has to do with the enamel.. unfortunately that makes him more susceptible for decay so we get to be really careful with his teeth.. poor guy The dentist said it won't effect his adult teeth..
still chases the dirty pile when you try to sweep, and climbs in the dishwasher when I'm doing dishes.
Loves his hair.. is constantly rubbing things into it and rubbing it back and forth... brings me the mousse and says "uh" wich means "can I please have a handful of it to giggle and smoosh in my hair?"
loves wearing his boots and other shoes.. esp megan and Ali's
Loves wrestling, and has started incorporating some Karate like maneuvers into the mix. (mainly leaning back against something and pushing his leg out at whatever he's trying to conquer)
LOOOVES the kitchen sink... aka jacuzzi if he's upset, fussy, tired, cranky (you get the drift) all I have to do is put him in the sink add a little warm water and he's happy as a clam. (AND I can get the kitchen cleaned!)
can point out his body parts -eyes, hair, tummy, mouth, nose, feet, knees especially loves poking peoples eyes out while he pronounces "EYESH" very distinctly
There's sooo much more.. I suppose I'll have to add it when it comes up..
It makes me a little sad. He will be the last baby I have. Love this boy..it goes too fast I tell you.
