Matthew

So Matthew has developed his own little personality. His language skills are improving although David still tries to decode what he is saying... Mommy usually has an easier time figuring out what he is saying. Our little boy loves to play with cars which he calls "beep beep go", balls, cookies, Sadie "good girl" and "ite" which to him means write or "art" which means draw with crayons.

It is pretty amazing the things he is now saying and how is putting short sentences together even if they are not properly put together they are still sentences! He now realizes when he is doing something wrong or when Sadie is doing something she shouldn't... like the other day... Friday I was cleaning and we happened to be in the master bedroom where in the floor there was a box of Sadie's toys, well there was a plastic ball, a tennis ball and another chew toy. Matthew got both of the balls out of the box. He kept one for himself and gave the tennis ball to Sadie. We went back to the living area to get ready for dinner. I was in the kitchen while they played with the balls.. when all of a sudden I hear Matthew start frantically saying "Mama, good girl, no, ball" He kept repeating this over and over. Well I was making grilled cheese and I did not want to burn them so I just kept telling him I know good girl has the ball... well he kept getting frantic and the pitch of his voice higher... when I finally went to the living room I realized what the commotion was all about. Sadie had destroyed the ball and Matthew was simply letting me know... After I cleaned up Matthew just looked at me and said... "good girl bad mama" which I responded "yes she is!".

Another one of his great achievements is saying "m me" which means excuse me every time he burps! Hey he has better manners than my students at school!

One of the things I absolutely love is when we ask where the baby is he goes to my belly and points and when we ask him to say hi to JJ he will get really close and say "hi JJ" and most of the time give the belly a kiss... too sweet!

But of all the wonderful things that our son does I am still amazed at this particular thing... he has learned the words ucky and P -ew... He loves to say the word P - ew after he passes gas! Yes! My son is definitely a BOY... he will even push until he passes gas just so he can giggle and say P -ew... Amazingly enough his favorite time to do this, is during bath time... I will let you guess why!

Well that's the update of Matthew... I hope to have photos up soon! He sure is getting big!
