matthew's world: January 2012 Archives

I'm not sure if it would be considered "pretty" but I parked next to this cool car at the market the other day.

My kids were relatively fast walkers (and late teethers and talkers) but I think Matthew may be the youngest of the bunch to walk at 9 months. Last week he was only taking 1-2 steps. This week he is doing 3-4 steps. I love then they start to toddle!

My happy guy makes me smile, especially in his "mama's boy" shirt.

I think it is funny how light and curly Matthew's hair is compared to the other kids. I also think it's a little funny that people assume I'm the Mexican nanny since he doesn't look like me. (Hello, I've got a tall white husband, people. ;-)

We haven't heard from our cookie bandit lately but he struck again when I found this in the kitchen...

I went to the boys' room and heard giggling from the closet...

And there was my mischievous fella having a mid morning snack. :-)

I'm not sure if I'd call him "pretty" but Matthew is darn cute and he is 9 months old today! (Photo courtesy of my sister JC. ;-)

This weekend Andrew attended a birthday party that was held at a fire station. He got a kick out of the fire truck's tires being so tall.

He was even more excited when he got a turn shooting the fire house into the street. (Free car washes for unsuspected cars driving by. LOL)

Matthew was having fun squirming his way into the bar stool.

However, the fun ended when he couldn't figure how to get out of there!

Back to the fire station..they were showing us how high their ladder went. One of the firefighters started climbing...

...and climbing...

...until he finally made it to the very top. I was dizzy just looking at him. Those guys are amazing!!

Lots of love to all our firefighters!! :-)

I never got the chance to post any Christmas photos last week so I'll do them this week. :-)
