Week 46

This week a couple of viruses visited us, a cold for Jon and a stomach bug for me. Luckily Matt - knock on wood - escaped both.

Monday we had a busy morning, with a moms' meeting for me followed immediately by a baby play group for Matt.



Playing with friends at two houses = one very tired baby

Tuesday Matt slept through our scheduled outing, but that afternoon he helped me deliver backpacks full of school supplies that my moms' group donated to a local school district.


He also "helped" me do laundry.


Wednesday we had another busy day: a walk and library story time in the morning, then a visit from friends in the afternoon. The two babies tried out our sandbox and swing set.



Thursday and Friday we had quieter days. We stopped by a playground on Thursday afternoon.


Swinging and crawling over the bridge


His favorite part of the playground's musical section was the xylophone, which he enjoyed playing.

Friday we were going to go to another playground, but after an errand or two it was clear Matt would rather hang out at home. Saturday I was sick, so Jon took care of Matt all day. We spent Sunday at home as well, playing with blocks.


Taking apart Jon's tower

This past week Matt started focusing on closing cabinets and drawers as well as putting objects into drawers and boxes. He even tried to close the baby gate on me when I was on the stairs, chuckling all the while! This one is trouble...

A few more pictures from the week:

 

More sandbox fun (have I mentioned that Matt enjoys his sandbox?)


Coming to get you!


Tonight's chef de cuisine, apparently


Matt increasingly only wants to feed himself and only eat what we're eating (especially if it comes from Jon's plate). Here he is feeding himself one of his favorites, avocado.
