September and October

We are a little behind on the blog!  September flew by and we are already almost finished with October...we've been busy!  Matthew is more active than ever and makes us laugh every day. 

He loves to climb, play chase, be tickled, "talk" on the phone or anything he holds and decides looks like a phone, bounce on our feet or knees, feed Bailey snacks, try to wear things around his neck or arms (I think he is copying me!), and go on walks in his push car. 

He babbles all the time now!  He still says "gung-u" for Bailey and all dogs (and anything that looks like a dog to him), says "oh, oh, oh...." when he talks on his phones, says nana for banana, and sometimes says mama and dada.  He does sign language for more, all done, and milk.  He is catching on quickly and seems to really want to talk so we think he will start picking up more words soon. 

Matthew goes to school 3 days a week now so I can work.  He does great at school and seems to love his teachers and friends.  His teacher told me he tries to hug and kiss all the other kids!  He is so sweet...but we have to work on the kissing because his kiss is a big open mouth kiss right now that sort of resembles a bite ;)

We have been busy watching football, playing outside, going to birthday parties, and traveling a little bit.  Here are some pictures from September and October.  More posts to come soon with pictures from our trip to Dallas, football game watching, and more visits from family :)

Helping around the house


Had fun playing with the Fredland boys before they left for Hawaii
First trip to the Houston Zoo...which only lasted about 15 minutes because Bailey got out and went on an adventure around our neighborhood (long story)





Visit from Grandmother and Grandad


So much fun!
