Matthew's birthday was on the 9th. Now I have a 1 year old! Crazy. We went to the doctor the other day, and found out that he weighs 21 pounds and is 29.5 inches tall. I decided to keep his birthday low key. We had my grandparents over for dinner. I made Matthew's favorite: pasta primavera and peas. Matthew understood the concept of opening presents better than at Christmas. He got plenty of presents, that's for sure. I went a little overboard and got him some dress shirts, pajamas, a toy piano, and some books. Mark's parents got him some cute clothes and a toy gumball machine, which he loves. My parents got him some darling clothes and a toy chest. And my grandparents got him a movie, and a ball that lights up if you throw it down hard enough. Needless to say, a ball that lights up when you throw it quickly topped Matthew's list of favorite things. On his actual birthday, I decided to make cupcakes so I wouldn't have so much leftovers.Then on Sunday we had Mark's family over: his sister, Anna; his brother, Michael; his cousin, Matt Dunstan; and his cousin's wife, Kate. Anna gave him some more clothes and some dino shoes. Matthew rather enjoyed having everyone dote on him, and loved having more cake.
