16 Months


Matthew is such a fun-loving kid!  There is definitely never a dull moment.  He's constantly on the heels of his brother, trying to copy William's every move.  He is a non-stop chatter-box and every few words is a word I can recognize (ie Momma, Nana, brother, juice, dinosaur, Dadda, toes, shoes, num, uh-huh, up, picture, cheese, ball, and pooh-poohs).  It's a lot of trying to guess what it is he's saying, which can be frustrating for both of us sometimes.  He loves roughhousing with William, which leads to my yelling "stop it, William you're going to hurt him."  Really though, Matthew has no problem holding his own.  And our house is not quite!  Both boys are non-stop shrieking with delight and laughing.

Bath time is a favorite.  And Matthew loves brushing his teeth.  He wants to be right alongside his brother.  When William is in the bathroom, Matthew wants to be right there too, on the heat register with a book though.

I wish I could say he's sleeping through the night.  We had a bit of a set back with some heavy chest congestion/coughing, so when he woke up in the middle of the night, I would go check to make sure he was doing okay.  It's a two time a night thing, usually 3:30 and 5:30.  I so miss my sleep and hoping now that he's starting to feel better, the sleep gets better as well.

Matthew is very musical.  He loves signing, dancing, and playing the piano or drums at Nana's.  And, he's very good.  The kid's got rhythm!  And, I think he might be left-handed.  He was caught doodling on a piece of paper, and he was using his left-hand.

Oh, and a daredevil!  This kid knows no fear!
