New Items

Hi!


Hope everyone is well. It has been a while since my last post so I'll use this one to catch up on a couple of things.


I've been taking a music class on Saturday mornings for the last couple of months. It's a lot of fun. I get to sing, dance and play different instruments like drums, shakers & tambourines. Because of that, my mom and dad got me a drum of my very own at home.








Here I am pounding away. (Notice the Beatles shirt!)



Normally, I play with both drum sticks but mom and dad got this shot of me playing a couple of weeks ago.










I'm enjoying my BMW too. No, not a 5-series
or anything. This BMW:

It gets me around the house okay. :-) Dad like to push me while I make the 'vroom, vroom!' sounds.





I may have a future in modeling, we'll see.
Here I am showing off my new winter coat. Don't you want to go out and buy one after seeing what a great time I'm having in mine?! :-)



I really like it. It's very comfortable and keeps me warm.


Well, that's all for now. I need to go do some last minute Christmas shopping. Where does the time go?!

See you all again soon!

We found Nemo!

I dressed up as Nemo for Halloween this year and had a great time trick-or-treating with my friend Christopher. Pictures of us together will come later, but, in the meantime, here are some shots of me after a long night gathering candy. :-)

Like my tail?

I even got my very own mini pumpkin!

We had a backup costume too....

It was a fun week leading up to Halloween and a great night on Sunday.

Can't wait for next year!

At the pumpkin patch

My friend Christopher and I visitied the local pumpkin patch last week in preparation for halloween.

It does take a little getting used to all of that orange! :-)

We had a great time picking out pumpkins. We took a break to share our favorite snack - Puffs.

Here's Christopher playing keep-away with me.

Now I'm looking forward to carving the pumpkins!!

Happy Fall everyone!

Love,

Matthew

I'm a year old!!

Yeah! I turned 1 on Sunday, September 5th!! (I can't believe this blog is a year old already. ;-)

Here's I am with mom and dad blowing out the candle on my cake.

I want to thank everyone who attended the party! I had great time seeing everyone and celebrating my first year.

Thanks to Esperenza for loaning us the yard and all of my family members who helped decorate!
Thank you for all of the wonderful gifts. I'm looking forward to playing with each of them.

But first, I'm off to Seattle to visit my Uncle John, Aunt Tammy and cousin Nichole! Can't wait to see you and visit the great northwest.

Here's to another great year!

Love,

Matthew

11 months!!

I turned 11 months old this past week! Only one more month to go before my 1st birthday! :-)

I'm getting bigger and bigger. I can crawl at super-fast speeds - but mommy and daddy still manage to catch me. I like pulling myself up on chairs and short furnature so I can streach my legs. :-) I'll be walking in no time!

I'm saying more words now. I like saying,"uh oh" when I drop my toys on the floor - usually on purpose. :-) The other day, there was a song on the radio that included "uh oh" in the lyrics so I sang along. I think I surprised mommy. :-)

I say, "doo" when pointing to my dogs Stewie and London. I have a hard time saying Stewie, so I just call him, "E" for now.

I also say, "Night, night" when it's time to take a nap or go to bed at night. I'll include a wave too, just to be polite.

I enjoy all of the food mommy and daddy make for me. I especially love butter nut squash! I'm starting to eat some of mommy and daddy's food -but only in little bites. I like it and can't wait to try more.

Lots of love to everyone!

Matthew

10 months!!

Who said I could be 10 months old already?! :-)

Time is just flying by! I'm getting bigger - I'm able to crawl very fast and am pulling myself up on different furnature around the house in order to stand. Not walking yet, but that will happen soon.

I had my first taste of ice cream yesterday on Independence Day. I also had a great time with my friend Christopher watching the parade in Westchester.

There were lots of cars, bands, horses and fire trucks!

Thanks to Christopher and his mom for having us over. We had a great time!

Love to all!

Matthew

Happy Father's Day!

A happy Father's Day to all the dads out there.

This morning, I helped make breakfast for my dad.

We had scrambled eggs, sausage, hash browns and biscuits. Yum yum!!

Here's a little something I made for my dad at day care:
