Hodge Podge: 19 months!

I am clearly behind on the blog and am just now getting around to writing about Matthew at 18 months...and now he is already 19 months! Time is flying so this will be a 19 month post instead!

Weight: 24 pounds
Height: 33 inches (85%!!)

Matthew is 19 months old and basically never stops moving! He is very active and into everything! He is learning so much and trying very hard to talk. He has learned tons of new words the last 2 months and tries to repeat almost everything we say. We love watching him learn and listening to him try to say new words :)
