Oops, we did it again. . .

We nerdified our little boy, again (check out Nerd Alert)! So we plopped him in his highchair, gave him lots and lots of cheerios and threw in a Baby Einstein and we went to work - chopping away at his hair. First of all, I looked up tips on how to cut bangs - but I looked it up AFTER I cut them straight across. Then, the back was looking pretty good - just needed a little thinning in the length - but Josh and I had a miscommunication, and, well. . .let's just say the back is a bit crooked now. Oh well, hair grows back right? He has no idea, he's just having fun and that's all that really matters. He's still adorable to me! He was making his silly face when I was taking these photos - I just love his silly smile. I'll have to post a video of it soon!

A Day at the Aquarium!

This past Friday we had the pleasure of going to Birch Aquarium with our good friends Andrew, Jessica & Samuel. Matthew enjoyed playing with the "lobsters" and pointing at all the sea-life. We had fun just watching him! His favorite, however, was the encased pengiun towards the end - he thought it was great! Lots of fun - we can't wait to go to the zoo on his birthday; he just loves animals!

America's Next Top Baby Model?

I was with some friends the other night, and her daughter was totally posing and showing off for Matthew - so we decided there should be America's Next Top Baby Model! Instead, my friend Heather with her boys Drew & Jake, and Matthew & I, went down to the babyGap at UTC for the Gap casting call! They got their photos taken, and we submitted them online. Wouldn't that be fun? It's not too late if you want to get your photos in online. I think Matthew's a winner! :-)

Then, after the photo shoot, we went down to the little tot lot and played around - lots of fun!

That's all for now. . .a lot more to come soon - Matthew's first nephew, Kylian, is due any time, birthdays and holidays are all coming up fast!

Go, Speed Racer. . .

And he's off! Okay, so not at "Speed Racer" skills yet, but our little guy is finally crawling! He skipped the commando crawl, or rolling on the floor - just went straight from trying to swim frustratedly on carpet, to up on his hands and knees, crawling. Still a little stiff & wobbly, but so adorable (I'm not biased or anything!) Here's just a taste, and some cute pics. . .

I'm so AwEsOmE, I took this picture!

Yo yo, Mattie in the house!

New Friends & a Blast from the Past!

It all started on Tuesday, August 19th. Our good friends Andrew & Jessica had their little boy, Samuel Andrew Davidson, on that day - and just a few days later, we got to meet him - such a handsome little guy!

The happy family - Jessica, Andrew & Samuel

Uh oh, Josh...holding tiny babies makes me happy...
Then, just a day after we met Samuel, I met up with my friend Kristen, whom I hadn't seen since highschool, 7 years ago! She has a little guy who just turned 1 named Miles - such a cutie! They got to be fast friends, sharing toys - I even think Miles was an inspiration in crawling for Matthew. . .

We love making new friends!
