Kids Town

These pictures are a little old we went to Kids Town at the end of February. It is this place in Wheaton with all different themed rooms where kids can dress up and play with toys based around the theme. Matthew had a lot of fun and it was a place that is great for his age level.

Baby # 2

We'd like you all to meet the newest addition to our family. Today baby #2 is 13 weeks along and doing good. I wish I could say I felt great but I'm happy that the baby is doing good. Grant and Matthew came along for the ultrasound. Matthew didn't seem that interested again he was just happy he wasn't going to the doctor because it was in the same building. Babies at this age are around 3 inches long. It amazes me that someone that is that small looks so much like a baby. You can see the legs, feet, hands, arms, even the fingers. At one point during the ultrasound the baby gave a thumbs up. Enjoy! He or she is even sticking one of his/her fingers up.

Anti-social (I guess he/she takes after me)

Happy Valentine's Day love Matthew

Matthew is learning to say new things everyday. This has got to be one of our favorites now though. (If the screen is black where the movie goes if you hit play it still works.)

Snow Fun

Matthew seems to be like Grant and likes the cold weather and snow. The second we stepped outside he started saying "snowball." I don't know where he learned that but we did make him a snowball that was then thrown at both dogs, Grant, and I (the same snowball).

Matthew (with Grant's help) is making a snow angel. Now when you ask him what he did in the snow he flaps his arms up and down to show you that he made an angel.

His favorite thing to do in the snow this day was fall face first into the snow and eat it.

Looks like he was having fun while Grant pulled him and the two dogs chased them around the backyard.

Peek a Boo

Grant made some space in the closet recently so Matthew's new favorite thing is to hide in there and peek out at you. The only problem is he likes to giggle while he's doing it so you know he's in there.

Disney on Ice

We went to Disney On Ice and Matthew loved it. Not only did he love the show but he also loved the popcorn and slushy as well. We had cotton candy too but he wanted no part of that. Every time a new group would come out he would say, "Mickey Mouse."

Trying to get a picture with Auntie Barbie but too distracted by popcorn.

Matthew's favorite characters Mickey and gang, and the Toy Story gang.

Playing wtih Dirt

Matthew took a class at the DuPage Children's Museum that was called Sculpting with Dirt. He seemed to get into making the dirt into mud by adding water. Then he got to paint it on a piece of cloth and paper. He also had the opportunity to rub his hands in shaving cream to mix it with brown paint but he wanted no part of that. I tried to stick his finger in it to play and he yelled. I thought little boys liked to get dirty.

Rolling out some mud

Finished product. If you notice his Grammy even got him a shirt that was just right for the class. It says "my favorite color is dirt."

Guess What?

E.D.A-September 2nd, 2010

We are 9 weeks and 5 days pregnant.

He looks excited but we shall see when the time comes.

Today the doctor wanted to try listening for a heart beat. She said it could still be a little early but we were lucky and got to hear the tiny heartbeat. Grant and I were really excited to hear it Matthew we aren't so sure about he kept banging things into the wall. Keep your fingers crossed that he starts to get excited about having a baby brother or sister.
