Got my toes!
This has been a month of exploration for Michael. He loves pulling hair these days, has discovered his toes and fingers as play things now, is rolling constantly and has started to do push-ups in preparation for crawling. When he does the push-ups he can get all the way up on his hands and toes, but he also sticks out his tongue (it is very cute) and then lets out a scream. He really wants to get moving so he can keep up with his big brother. His teeth have also been bothering his greatly so there has been a ton of drool.

Swim Lessons
Matthew had his first big boy swim lessons today! Michael, John and I sat on the side of the pool and watched Matthew splash around in the kiddie pool, blow bubbles, sing songs, and dump water on his instructor, Selma. She let them all dump a boatful of water over her head, and then did it to them. Matthew didn't look impressed, but he didn't freak out. At the end of the lesson Matthew came straight to me and said, "That was soooo much FUN!!" We are so pleased that he is not afraid of being in the pool without us.

My Big Boy
I have slowly been coming to the realization (since his 3rd birthday) that Matthew is a big boy now, not my sweet little baby. Since his birthday party Matthew has decided to "skip" his naps, his face is changing, and he is getting so tall. But seeing him with this backpack just makes him look even bigger. For the past 3 days he has worn the backpack everywhere – even inside playing with his toys. We do make him take it off for dinner, going to the bathroom and car rides, but he puts it right back on afterwards. He is very proud of it. Matthew is using it to carry around his snack, binoculars, a magnifying glass, and a variety of small toys. So cute!
