Quick Matthew Catch Up - More Milestones

Finally I have a chance to provide a quick update on Matthew's new developments and adventures. Lately, Matthew has been enjoying anything that makes a lot of noise. He found a metal dog dish on the tile floor and he just loves to crawl and drag it with him, making quite a clamor. I handed him a plastic bat to bam the upside-down dog dish like a drum. He took to that right away. I think he wants to be the drummer in his Uncle Jude's band. As for the walking, Matthew is getting closer and closer. We have seen him stand unsupported for several seconds multiple times and it was reported at daycare that he moved from one chair to another in a standing position (a cross between walking and "cruising").

Lately, Matthew has been waving bye bye (or hello). When picking him up from daycare he waved to me. He has been waving to his daddy and his Deda too.

On Wednesday evening I took Matthew to the mall. I am not much of a shopper so this isn't a frequent occurrence. While there I rode the carousel with Matthew. I had him on the "up and down horse" and he was holding on to the bar and bouncing up and down amid shrieks of glee. I will definitely have to take him there again (especially since it is in the air conditioning).

These carousel photos aren't at the mall. They are at the zoo but you get the point.

Kaleigh has been doing the same thing with rasberries. So far, we've been able to catch her and clean her up before she makes it to our new couch. I'll post pictures of her on my blog soon.
