Matt

Matt is getting so big. Last night he opened the fridge all by himself. He brought me the bag of ham cubes and said "moyyy" then signed please excitedly while bouncing on his feet... the day before that he opened the freezer and asked for a "pomuble" (aka popsicle)


I’ve loved watching him play outside this past week. He’s so content to just wander around the yard kicking balls, and playing with his trucks. He doesn’t even care if I’m there, which is NOT the case when we’re inside. He looks so little to me waddling around all layered up to keep warm. Yet he’s so big entertaining himself and picking himself back up when he trips on a stick. I stand there ready but barely have to move because he’s got everything he needs. A bit of Sunshine the whole backyard..

He’s expanding his vocabulary by the minute these days too. Repeating everything we say and “talking” non-stop about the world around him. He understands and follows commands like “go get your blankie” or “pick up your shoe”, and he answers simple questions knowingly.

“do you want a cracker?”

“No”

"Are you ready for Nigh-Night?”

“No!”

or if he IS ready for bed, He’ll deliberately go and find his blanket and pacifier and come back to me to be carried upstairs.

I LOVE it when he’s looking for something because he sing-songs whatever it is “whey ah youuuu” when he hears a noise outside he will make an O with his mouth and excitedly says “oh!, Whats dat?” he still thinks he’s really funny and has now began fake laughing while putting his hand over his mouth. What a Ham!!
