A Conversation with Matthew

Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary to me! Today is our second wedding anniversary. To celebrate - we went out to dinner with Marks dad. Actually, we celebrated on Saturday, but it was fun seeing Elwin today. Saturday was our first time getting a babysitter for Matthew. Mark and I went to the Real Salt Lake soccer game and cheered them on to victory. We left Matthew with my brother Aaron and his wife Melissa, where I am told he slept the whole time.

Look at that dimple

Note - Marks computer is acting up with the punctuation. Why am I using his computer instead of mine, you might ask (insert question mark). Mine is in a thousand pieces on the kitchen table. Literally. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. Until then, it is no apostrophes or question marks.

Naked Baby Photo Shoot

On Thursday morning, I decided to do a photo shoot with Matthew. I played around with the self-timer on my camera to get me in the pictures as well. The photo shoot started out well, but eventually ended in some hair pulling.

To catch you up

I've decided to start a blog, mostly so my far away family members can watch Matthew grow. So here's what has happened so far.

Babies make the funniest faces.

Mr. Giraffe is his best friend.

He loves his swing.

The mobile doesnt spin, but he loves to stare at the pink zebra.

The bed is mine!

Funny story. He has learned to grasp the ring on his play center. However, he has not learned how to let go. He gets very frustrated that the ring will not let go of him. We have to pry his fingers loose to calm him down. Silly baby.

But he was actually screaming his head off.
