Now that I'm 7-Months Old...



I'm still not crawling even though I prop myself up all the time...but I really like to walk while holding mom's fingers. I play with lots of toys, but Riley is my favorite :-)




I love to eat - in fact, I always have - but lately I've been getting lots of good stuff! Sometimes I get distracted when I eat and play with my high chair buckle, my fingers, or I try to find Riley. Then I get food all over my face, up my nose, in and behind my ears, in my eyebrows, all through my hair, and all over my clothes. I hate it when mom has to wash my face. I really LOVE dessert - notice how almost all the food splatters are sweet potatoe chicken casserloe - I don't mess around when it's dessert time (just a few drips on the chin) - mmm, mmm good!

The Ontario Science Centre

It was rainy out when we left so on went the raincoat - looks like a new generation of firemen has begun!
This was the last weekend for the Marvel Comic Book exhibit...it was pretty good, but too crowded to really enjoy it...plus, a bunch of kids kept butting in front of Lauren and I to try the activity stations...
The Smith's in infra-red! My nose and hands always show up black in these things...I guess I need better circulation...

Mom and Matty in the cafeteria

Matty with Paul and Lauren

All pooped out!

...and for dessert later that night - a dessert pizza ala Mel and Lauren! MMM!

Crop Night!

Last night Lauren and I went to Friday Evening Crop Night at a local scrapbook store. It is very handy to work on pages in a store where you can buy all the supplies you could possibly need! I am trying to finish the Smith Family 2006 Yearbook and am getting close...just a few more family pictures to go. I am still very much an amateur cropper, but it is such a great way to preserve memories! I recently completed a Riley page and a Nan and Grampy Barker page. Here they are!

Me and My Dad

It doens't matter how close to bedtime it is when Dad gets home - Matty always has a renewed burst of energy to play with his Dad!
What a handsome pair!

Me and My Big Dog Riley


Me and Riley have so much fun together!

What's With the Tongue?




Our New Digs

Here are some pics of our new digs...first up is the master bedroom





Doesn't every master bedroom need a tent? Don't tell Chad that it's not a Sierra Designs tent...



...our ensuite...


Matty's room - curtains made by aunt Lauren



...the living room...

...the very messy office...

...the kitchen...


...and the island in the kitchen. Note the muffins - made by Mel - and the four remaining birthday flowers - they are still holding on!
Coming soon - the guest room and the "multi-purpose" room. Can you stand the suspense??
