Week 52

This will be a fairly short post because I've already shared some of our most exciting events from last week and because Matt had a cold that limited our activities, especially during the start of the week. In fact, we didn't do anything until Tuesday afternoon, when we went to do a study at the children's hospital in the city. Matt is apparently the first participant who wanted to go through their drawers (checking out the contents of all available cabinets and drawers has been a favorite activity). But he did cooperate long enough to complete the study.

Matt the test subject

Afterwards we met up with Jon for a quick lunch and a little outdoor time at a local park.

Matt is never one to pass up a sand box

Wednesday was our special Halloween-edition library story time, and later that afternoon we met up with some friends at a local park to enjoy the unseasonably warm weather. Thursday, before we went trick or treating at the ballpark, Matt sampled his first music class. He is enjoying "playing" the wooden sticks he got to take home as a souvenir. We had a quiet Halloween after our party that morning. The weather turned colder and more miserable this weekend, but fortunately Matt's grandparents were able to make it safely here, just in time for someone's birthday. I'll post more about that next week, but here's one goodie they brought Matt from one of his aunts:

Now appropriately attired!

Speaking of cars, Matt got his first look at our new family vehicle.

So far he doesn't seem too impressed, but once he realizes we'll all have a little more legroom and space in the trunk for his stuff I think he'll appreciate it more.

Here are a few more shots from the week:

Bath time!
