He Keeps Growing and Growing...

Playing with Teddy...

Matthew had his 9 month check up last week. He is now 21lbs (52nd percentile), is 29.5 inches long (81st percentile - though I had measured him at 30 inches...), and his head circumference is 47 cm (87th percentile). After measuring his head Dr. Hana said "he's still got a big head, eh" - thanks Grampy B :-)

Matthew and Teddy

Teddy used to just be a bedtime and naptime stapple, but now it is important for Teddy to get out of the crib and play! Teddy is the only boy to get kissed every day - normally only Mom and Aunt Lauren get the coveted Matthew kiss, which is really an open mouth lick (clearly Matty spends a lot of time with Riley).

Matty also loves to clap - this comes in handy when he falls on his bum. The initial look of terror is quickly forgotten once I start cheering for him with a "yeah Matthew" and a clap. He joins right in and the world is a happy place...

Sleepy Boy

This is how I found my sleeping boy at nap time today...I felt so bad having to wake him...I just wanted to watch him sleep...

Silly Boy!

Play Time!

Weekend Fun!

Uncle Sean and Aunt Cathy came to visit this past weekend! We had lots of fun and played with all my toys!

Tub time with Aunt Cathy

Getting ready for bed? Or playing with Aunt Cathy?

On Saturday we went to Canada's Wonderland. It is a great spot, but it was really busy - good thing we have a season pass! Matty and I went home early to get ready for bed and everyone else took advantage of the reduced line waits in the evening. Here is Chad and Matthew in a nice shady spot.

Say Cheese!
