Week 21

Week 21 was perhaps not the most fun week for us. Matt battled a stuffy nose (cold? teething-related congestion? both?) all week plus had a few more attacks of the teething monster and had a little growth spurt. Needless to say there were some days when he was definitely not his jolly usual self. We did manage to get to play group and library story time, and with slightly nicer weather we took a few walks around the neighborhood plus a longer walk at the local state park on Friday. But first I had to wait for him to finish his nap:

Sunday Matt went to Costco with us for the first time. He found that a fascinating experience; he was wide-eyed the whole time we were there. We had a repeat of the nap in the car on the way home!

Matt loves to grab anything he can get his hands on, and as many things as possible go into his mouth...

...including his feet.

He is sitting up on his own better and for longer stretches of time, and he's watching the cat more and for longer stretches of time (as well as reaching out to grab her - so far no luck).

Staring contest!

Awesome like Auntie
