The Lovee of Matthew's Lifee sent him a Mardi Gras Prince t-shirt and beads from New Orleans. He would wear them every day if he could...yes, I mean the beads (sigh).
Matthew is getting stronger and heavier now. Still a size 2T or smaller from the waist down but quickly approaching a 3T on top. Just got into 3T 1piece Jammies with room to grow.
His hair is getting a bit darker, the blonde is nearly gone.
Talks up a storm, you can understand just about everything he says now, especially when he's screaming it directly into your ear. Potty training is moving along. Slowly but it's moving forward, he likes to wear pull ups. He can count to eleven, knows his colors and shapes and is even trying to color within the lines with his crayons. We tried to work on "opposites" tonight using the Thomas the Train book...he looked at me like I was nuts.
We're about to hit a new milestone next month. We are going away for a night without him. We've both never been away from him for an entire night. We're betting we'll miss him a lot more than he'll miss us.
