July 8

This was our fun part of our day yesterday.

Matthew's first Blood

Last night Matthew was crawling and slipped on the wet floor. He face planted with his pacifier in his mouth splitting the middle of his lip slightly. He was only mad because I was holding him and he couldn't play with the vacuum. He couldn't care any less about hurting his lip and bleeding. I keep telling myself I need to get used to these things. So Matthew got over his bloody lip fast, took me a little longer but I got over it too. Then he had his evening bath and Aunt Sue put him in his backpack and got him to sleep. What a night.

Dadda

(Warning this video is super loud so you may want to turn your speakers down)

Matthew says Dadda all the time now. He loves looking at his Daddy book and he loves saying Dadda. He still said Mamma first though...I know I won't be his favorite for long. That is ok though. Daddy is due for some Father and Son time together.

4th of July Weekend

After about 12 pictures taken this is the only one with my eyes open. I tried in every picture to keep them open and inevitably failed each time. I had to force them open like this. Mary got a kick out of it I am sure. Stupid flash is like staring into the headlights of an oncoming bus!

I kept Matthew up late so I could take him to Forest Lake Campground and show him his first Fireworks. The big celebration for our special 4th of July weekend. This weekend means a lot to us. Matthew loved watching the fireworks and even though they were super loud he didn't even flinch. Instead he fell asleep. We had a good weekend.
