Happy Be-Lated Birthday...

To our Boomie! (Who shares her birthday with William!)

How lucky are we that Boomie and Papa have a house in Ojai that we can escape to and enjoy?! And we did just that for a week before William's birthday. Ojai was beautiful blue skies and a comfortable 80 degrees. Much nicer than the rain and gray we left behind in Seattle.

Both boys did incredibly well flying. Matthew slept most of the flight and William was entertained by Daddy's iPad.

We loved the new addition to the Ojai house, hanging out with our Ojai family (Aunt Betsy, Jenny, Taylor, Warren, and Ava), walking into town with our Radio Flyer wagon courtesy of Aunt Paula, the delicious food, walks on Shelf Road, the Santa Barbara zoo, La Super Rica, visiting with Wendy in Calabasas, the ocean, and hanging out together.

We can't wait for our next visit!

13 Months!

Happy 13 Months (belated of course!) to our little man! He is growing and developing by leaps and bounds. These days he's completely mobile, running after his brother and not afraid to tackle William down or voice (ie scream) his frustration. He's become quite the Momma's boy and is barely by my side. Heaven forbid I leave the room for 5 seconds without him freaking out. It's nice to feel the love, but come on. As long as I'm within eyesight, Matthew is a very good at keeping himself occupied.

The kid loves to eat and wants to have a taste of whatever you may be eating. The minute he sees William's sippy cup, he wants one too. This kid is sure in a hurry to grow up!

He's talking up a storm and I'm sure "real" words will be coming very soon. He already identifies Momma, Dada, and Nana. And can say peekaboo.

We are enjoying every minute of this guy! He's so smiley and lights up a room instantly. Is initially shy around new people, but warms up quickly. And loves to get into mischief already with his brother!
