We had another fairly quiet week, although Matt was busy with more of his growth spurt. In between snowstorms we managed to make it to two playgroups, where Matt met even more new baby friends. He should be quite the social guy, but often at playgroups he prefers to look at the moms and ignore his adorable buddies, some of whom have grabbed his foot or blown raspberries at him to try to get his attention. He'll be more interested in the kids soon enough, I suppose.
Playing with blocks for the first time
Such a silly monkey!
Hanging out in his jumper
Beware of "Grrr"?!
Holding onto a frog is serious business
I was noticing that Matt was primarily rolling to one side when he decided to roll to the other side and show me I was silly even to think I needed to worry about it.
Multi-tasking, Matt-style: holding onto a hippo in one hand and batting a toucan with the other
Forget Olympian: the weekend before last Matt switched his future career interest to opera. He was super excited about his newly discovered vocal range and has been enthusiastically practicing his arpeggios and scales, although fortunately for both feline and human ears alike his enthusiasm settled down after a few days. Still, I decided it was best to skip this week's baby movie; we stayed home instead and watched the Olympics, where noise-making is much more acceptable. After a few smiles, you can hear a small sample of Matt's new noises, although these aren't as impressive as the ones from earlier in the week.
Hooray! Spring Training is underway!
That apparently has inspired Matt to put the "gym" in his jungle gym. One-armed pull-ups with an elephant, anyone?
