My parents were here through Tuesday morning, so we finished off some gardening and other small projects around the house as well as spent some time with them. We were able to get over to the Y for our moms' club's weekly play outing on Tuesday, too. Needless to say Matt took some good naps Tuesday and Wednesday!
Thursday he stayed with one of my friends and her baby in the morning while I helped with a program at work, and then he stayed with another friend and their baby that evening while Jon and I had our first evening out in the city since before Matt was born. Fortunately he mostly behaved for both of them.
Friday we went to a consignment sale and picked up some fun items, including a few Red Sox, baseball-, and soccer-themed gear, for when Matt is a little bigger. Then Matt had his 6-month check-up. At his check-up, Matt weighed in at 20 lbs. 11 oz. and measured 28.5 inches. He's still in the 90-95th percentile for weight but is creeping up in height: he's now at the 98th percentile. The doctor officially counted four teeth after the fourth one started peeking out that day. Matt did well at his visit, including with his shots; we're pleased with his progress.
Saturday I had a moms' club outing, so Matt got his dad all to himself in the morning. That afternoon we finished our test drives. Matt proved to be popular wherever we went, and he checked out the back of a few cars for us.
Sunday we spent a fairly quiet day at home, watching Jon prepare the deck for its facelift so that we can spent more time outside.
But enough discussion of our activities. Here are a few photos my parents took during their visit:

"Who, me?"

Yummy stacking cup!
And now some other photos:
Hello!
Mr. Cool
Just a guess, but Matt seems to like our new hiking carrier
Enough, paparazzi!
Matt's high chair, which Jon made just for him, getting the Matt seal of approval
First full meal of solid foods, starting with yummy avocado
Trying to stuff a few bites in his mouth, which means inevitably some ended up on the floor
I'll end with a video of one of Matt's giggle sessions:
