I'm trying to squeeze in a post, so this one will be long on photos and short on words.
Last week the weather was much nicer than the very warm week before, so we started off by going for a walk.
I stopped to let Matt crawl around and explore.
Happiness is waving around not one but two sticks.
Tuesday we went for a hike in a local park organized by another moms' group. We saw some deer close up, but since we regularly see deer in our own yard that wasn't as exciting for us it was for others!
Matt checking out the playground swings but more interested in checking out what the other kids were doing
Wednesday was a busy one for us. We started off by going for a walk with a mom friend and her kid, and then we went to library story time.
The shaker egg is for shaking to the music, not snacking!
After story time, Matt had enough time for a nap while I readied the house for baby play group. It was a busy one! Matt crashed afterwards, and that nap was just enough to recharge him for more action.
Nothing to see here; just going through the pots and pans.
Thursday we met up with some people we know and their babies at a play space. We had gone there in the summer, and this time around it was definitely busier, mainly with young babies. Matt is so mobile, and he now throws things (which is fun when it's a ball, not fun with it's not), plus he is still working on his gentle touch. He's not going to be welcome much longer at play groups with little babies!
Is it done yet?
Cooking with his buddy
Hey, watch where you're going, buddy!
Hammer time!
Enjoying a quiet moment back at home after all of that activity
Friday was a day for us to catch up on some things, including sleep.
Matt's new favorite sleeping position (Don't worry: he can breathe, and he's not smothering himself, however it may look at first glance.)
Saturday we went to a grilling party hosted by some of Jon's friends. Matt took it upon himself to make a few improvements to their landscaping; the plant growing into their yard from the neighbors' was missing a few leaves by the time he was done.
Getting acquainted with the locals
Sunday we had a quiet day at home, doing a little work on projects and watching some sports. Well, "quiet" is not the most accurate adjective, as Matt was a bundle of energy and very vocal. He spent much of the day crawling around while making as much noise as he could.
I think you should be skeptical of the stories my mom tells about me!
