Update on Matthew

Well, I said that as part of my 43things I was going to blog more about the kids, but then I’ve been writing about other things instead. Here is my first update on Matthew.

• Matthew Weighs 29 lbs. and is 32.5″ tall
• He is talking more and more every day.
• The other morning when we came downstairs, he points and lets out this string of gibberish that ends with “light” so I ask him “Do you want me to turn on the light?” and he says “No light” so I ask him “Do you want the TV on?” and he says “No TV” so I ask him “Do you want papa? (food)” and he says “mm hmm” (which means yes).
• Matthew’s favorite books are:
• The Big Book of Pictures and Words
• Winnie the Pooh’s Busy Bees Busy Box
• Matthew eats everything in sight!
• He consistantly eats more than Emily, at every meal.
• We went to Sweet Tomatoes, and he would not stop eating! We were both done, and I had gotten him a big plate of fruit so he could have a choice, and he proceeds to methodically devour it all. At one point he turned around to look at someone, and I took his plate. That didn’t work too well. So he finished the entire plate, and looks up at us and says “Bah!” meaning “Finished!”
• Matthew loves to watch whatever show Emily is watching, which is great! (But won’t last forever, I know!) He also loves
• Go Baby! which is kind of creepy to adults, but apparently makes perfect sense to toddlers.
• The Doodlebops (He calls them “Bops”)
• Matthew’s nicknames are: Matty (We only call him Matthew when he’s in trouble), Fatty Matty, and “The boy”
