Week 42

This past week we were back to our normal mix of playdates, adventures, and quieter moments at home. Monday morning we took Penny for her annual vet check-up, and Matt got to watch all of the dogs being picked up from the boarding facilities. We then watched one of his buddies while his mom went to the dentist.

Tuesday we went for a walk and ran to Costco. Putting Matt in my carrier's backpack position is definitely the way to go in a store like that! Wednesday we had a play date with a couple of friends, during which Matt spent time in the kiddie pool and ball pit. Thursday we went for a walk, then got some ice cream and visited a new to us playground with a big group from my moms' club.

Friday was a quieter day for us. But Saturday we went to Matt's first major league baseball game. Unfortunately the home team lost, but Matt and our friends' baby provided plenty of appreciated entertainment for our seat mates.

Sunday was a quiet day at home to recover from our big city adventure.

We continue to introduce new foods to Matt. This past week his big new food was peanut butter; luckily he has no peanut allergy. He is less and less interested in eating from a spoon and wants to feed himself finger foods. In other developments, Matt is cruising along couches, etc., a little more and will stand for longer and longer periods by himself - although once he realizes what he's doing he sits down and goes back to crawling.
