Yesterday, Matthew was 8 months old...Holy Cow!!! He's really been developing quickly and really starting to show his personality...which is laid back, gentle, loving, with a little bit of impatience when things don't go quickly enough.
He's been up to alot, here are some highlights:
- David weighed him recently and it showed 19 lbs.
- He is practicing for basic training as he has got the army crawl down and is officially mobile.
- He will walk holding our hands and really enjoys doing that. You can tell his mind says "Go, Go, Go" but his body hasn't caught up yet.
- He has 6 teeth! The bottom middle (those came at 4 months) and all top, front four. Can we say steak soon?!?!?
- He is self-entertaining and loves to play with the animals. He cracks up at both of them.
- He's wearing mostly 12 month clothes because he is so long.
- He eats 4 times a day with cereal and fruit in the morning and meat and veggies for dinner.
- He continues to sleep through the night, except these new teeth gave him some trouble for a little bit.
- He takes a longer nap in the afternoons (most of the time).
and,
He continues to be the pride and joy of his mom and dad.
Matthew, you are getting to big. But I'm loving seeing all you are becoming. You are too cute and each night your mom and dad pray specifically for you and that you will grow to be the man God wants you to be. We pray that you will love others and will enjoy life to the fullest and live with no regrets.
You have brought unspeakable joy to your family and to many others with your smile and gentleness. You crack us up with your giggles.
Keep on growing big guy and know that you are loved, cherished and treasured. May you always find a safe, loving place when you are home.
I love you sweet guy.
