More Trouble

Matthew has a fascination with moving now. I get it, I'm not very good at staying still and relaxing. But I'm now finding out all those little things that he likes: cords, paper, tipping anything and everything over...
I have a few storage boxes, you've seen them, they are meant to look like ottomans, but they are hollow inside. Well, I thought I had the electronics and cords blocked off from Matthew's reach.

Apparently not.
I also have a recycle box in the house that we transfer to the outside (why the extra work? Because I hate going in and out of the house all day.) Matthew finds it great to pull himself up on the box, and tip it over. After it's tipped he...well, let me show you:

The little bits of paper will have slobber on them. The milk jug will be pounded on as it's a noisemaker. Any cans are rolled away and chased. Boxes that are not flattened make great toys as well.

He's happy, healthy, and curious. That's all that matters in the long run.

I need a baby gate

I only left the room for 5 minutes....

I like his caught look.

No Matthew's were hurt in this incident.



I'd like to thank Cami and moms without whom this post might not exist. My moms (friends, mine, and mom-in-law) teach me to appreciate the little things every day. Cami teaches me to take photo evidence.

Mr. Pumpkin

Matthew likes to eat pumpkin.

He wasn't so sure about sitting by them at first. Then realized they were like drums.

Then he decided he was done, but maybe he could swipe a pumpkin on his way.
The big one alas will never be food. He was the perfect carving size. His imperfect side that caved a little was perfect for leaning/propping him against the stairs.

7 Months Old

Matthew is 7 months old! Wow the time flies!!!


He
...loves to eat.
...loves books (both eating and listening to).
...loves to play with Stitch and his tail.
...crawls around on the floor. He is a low crawler, but he can move fast!
...pulls everything down within his reach.
...chews on paper if you let him.
...sits on his own for long periods of time.
...babbles (I swear he says hi and dada!).
...throws his bottle when he's done.


(My camera was out of commission for 2 1/2 weeks, so this post is a little late. The pictures were taken on October 27, 2010 which is the 7 month anniversary of us taking him home.)

Happy Hallowe'en

Matthew was dressed for the occasion from diaper to jammies.
