He graduated!

I seriously can't believe it, but today was Matthew's last day in the infant room. On Monday, he's a wobbler. Really, a wobbler... I remember so vividly, crying my eyes out the first day we dropped him off at daycare and on Monday, he moves onto the next class.

I have a feeling every year, this will be the moments as a mom that will be so hard. Knowing our sweet little Matthew is really growing up! Man, why don't they prepare parents for this!

The best part of today was our "surprise". His teachers mentioned they had "something" for the kids but it was a surprise. What a great surprise! My heart melted when Jason walked in.

Happy Graduation Matthew! You've come so far since your first day of school.

8, 9, 10 Months - so much to report and so little time!

I know an apology is due. I'm not sure why I'm 3 months behind on any updates on our sweet boy. I really don't know where the time has gone, or why I haven't had time to post updates. Ok, it's been a matter of sheer laziness - I will admit it.

So this is an attempt to not write an entire novel of what's been happening the last couple of months so bear with me :)

8 Months Old - our little swimmer, Matthew's first St. Patty's Day & first hair cut!

Since Mama isn't quite the swimmer, Jason and I really wanted to get Matthew used to the water, so we enrolled him into swim lessons and he did so well!


Matthew also celebrated his first St. Patrick's Day! Check out his rockin' St. Patty's Day pants Aunt Josie made him!



We also took Matthew for first hair cut. Jason was getting tired of the "oh what a pretty baby girl" comments :)
9 Months Old - Matthew's First Braves Game & a 9 Month Check up


The month by month pictures are getting harder and harder, with a more mobile child!
Well if you're a son of Jason's, clearly you will be sports fan, so as you guessed Matthew has already been to his first Brave's game.


Matthew's 9 Month Appt
It was time for another well check up. I was of course anxious to see how big our little giant was getting. He seems to weight a ton, since he LOVES to eat!

Weight: 21 lbs 9 oz (70th percentile)


Height: 29 inches (75th percentile)


Head Circumference: 18 1/4 inches (78th percentile)


Clearly he's a growing boy! Matthew also started crawling right after his 9 month appointment! And he hasn't slowed down yet!


And now here we are to 10 months old


Sadly we haven't taken our monthly picture. Matthew also had 4 teeth, yes I said 4 teeth come in all at once. Honestly I don't think it would have been so bad (other than the massive amounts of drool) but he also had his second ear infection at the sametime. Poor kid!


And finally, we took Matthew down to Hilton Head for his first beach trip. I was worried how he would take to the sand and water, but like his Mama, he LOVED the beach!


Whew, there's the past 3 months in the shortest update possible. More to come, since someone is turning 1 oh so soon!
