caught "Kaka" handed

I woke up late this morning and was trying to make it to a yoga class at 9am. So, while I was putting together Matthew breakfast to take with him in his PJ's to the gym, he thought I forgot about his "numa numas" or breakfast. I turned around since he was a little too quite.... He had taken the crackers out of the pantry opened them and was having a picnic on the floor.



The conversation breakdown:

Mom: What are you doing

Matt: "Kakas"

Mom: haha yes Matthew, that is a Cracker. Are you done?

Matt: "no" (in his very sweet high voice) as he stands up looking in the pantry for more to grab.

mom: haha, OK (I guess my son is officially self sufficient!!)

Luke made the coolest fort ever!!! Just a few boxes and tons of tape, a couple of hours with mom gone at an accountability group and "tickle-da", a fort!









It even comes with a trap door!




Another way of looking at it!





Matthew is the biggest ham...

Dr. Day

So Matthew has one of the best doctors!! Yes, his name is Dr. Day and today was the day! (That's a lot of days) Matthew was such a good sport. This was the first time that I went without Luke and my sweet friend Nicole came along since I am terrified of shots. Matthew is getting smarter and smarter every day. He continues to shock me with things he says and picks up on. So, while we were in the Doctors office, he points to his leg and says "owwweeee"!! oh my gosh! I had no idea he knew or could communicate that he knew a shot was coming. My heart both sank and skipped a beat knowing that he really understood. then, later on, Dr. Day came toward him with a tongue compressor/depressor (Luke and I disagree on the actual word) and he took his pacifier out of his mouth and opened it while Dr. Day was still 10 feet away. haha

Yesterday we were walking and talking: here is our conversation...

mom: Matthew can you say "tree"

M: "yyeeehh"

mom: Matthew can you say "cloud"

M: "clap" (while clapping hands together)

mom: haha sure, they both start with a "cl"

In the Beginning...

This blog is for Matthew. A way for him to see his life some day in the form of a journal. I have kept up with our baby jelly beans site for the first year of his life but this will be free and be a way to add a lot more commentary from yours truly (mom). Here goes nothin....
