Haircut(s)

Matt's hair was getting a bit long behind his ears, so I started talking about getting him a haircut. His nanny convinced me we could just trim it up ourselves and it would be a piece of cake! It was a bit trickier than expected since he's not great at staying still... ...and I freaked out after just one snip and made her stop! How silly am I?!?!?

So then, a week or so later, I took him to my hairdesser Molly! He got a nice little trim, just around the ears, and it looked fabulous! He's ready for another little trim so when I get my haircut next Tuesday, I think he'll just have to come with me and go first!

Here's a picture of the big boy his first time in the chair. He was so good and didn't even realize what was going on, because he was too enthralled with a toy phone he discovered in the salon! And of course, all the women swooned over him!

Walking

We finally got some good footage of Matt walking. He's actually a little bit less wobbly than this, probably because he was on grass here.

By the way, as I'm writing this, he walked over to his Daddy, who was in the process of getting dressed for work, and pulled down his pants!! :-)

New Do

Matthew celebrated his ten month birthday on Monday by walking all over the place! Now, instead of just walking when promted, he's getting up and walking wherever he wants to go, all by himself. We keep trying to get a good video of it, but have yet to do so. We will soon!

Last week, mom and dad had a little fun during bath time and gave Matty a new hair do. I think the faux hawk thing works for him!

Go Red Sox!

There's nothing better than the sound of Don and Jerry in the background on a cool spring night! Well, besides an 8 - 5 win over the Yankees, that is!

Sweeping

Not only are we trying to teach Matt how to walk and talk, we are also trying to teach him to clean the house. Can't start start 'em too early, right?

We all scream for ice cream!

Matt goes to visit his great grandparents every Tuesday night for dinner. He has his very own highchair there and he loves sitting at the table and watching all of his second cousins eat and talk and laugh! And sometimes, he'll laugh right along with everyone! Last week, his Great Grampy asked if Matt had ever had ice cream and if he could give him his first taste. It was quite a sight! We didn't catch his first bite on video, but here is his second and third bite...

Sorry it took me so long Michele!

Too cute!

Matt had a great weekend visiting with mom and dad's friends from Wheaton. He was very happy to go to new people, which is a first for him, and he loved chilling with Mike and Joy! Mom had a busy weekend, working and also meeting the owners of the British Beer Company, which is going to open (where Chili's is) on July 15th. Now mom is a bit sick, not sure with what, probably just exhaustion! And Matt has the tail end of a cold as well, so we'll just taking it easy this week and relaxing. Happy Monday!
