More Trip Pics

Ready for his morning walk. He reminds me of that "Don't Litter" PSA with the one small tear on his cheek...




Having fun hanging with Keri...

Matty found a comfy spot to lay down--Angus' feet!

Bears on Pearl Street

We had lunch in Boulder on Pearl Street with Angus and Keri on Friday and then stopped by this cute bear statue for some pics. Matty had a blast--it even knocked his socks off (they just would not stay on!).

Colorado

Matty had quite an adventure last week--we took our first family trip out to Colorado! He saw the Rocky Mountains, toured Pearl Street in Boulder, and met lots of new friends.

The flight was phenomenal, with Matty in a great mood, acting like a well-seasoned traveler. He really does take after his Mommy :-) We overheard a few people in the security line say things like, "I hope we're not on their flight." But, we had faith in our little guy. He slept for 2.5 hrs on the flight out and 3 hrs on the flight back. After his super-snoozes, he was well rested and beyond happy. He looked around and was charming everyone he could see with his smiles. He didn't cry at all on either flight--go Matty! I did feel a little like "Monk", since we used disinfectant wipes on everything near us on the plane--hopefully it worked to avoid those germs.

This in-flight picture is a little fuzzy, but Matty was laughing at the air vents....

Lunch in Denver with Angus...

Stay tuned for more trip pics throughout the week!

Travelin' Man

Matty is becoming quite the traveller - Is that him way off in the distance?

It is! I wonder what he could be playing with...
Eileen's sneaker! Of course!

Day 2 of Daddy dare care, we are doing just fine...
Come home soon!

The Boys get to play!

Because Mommy is away! We hope you are enjoying Washington - don't worry about us. I'm just teaching Matty some new skills!

Push the BLUE button! BLUE button!

Come home soon! (please!)

Laundry Time

Reading is FUNdamental

Mouse Ears

Loving his Mickey Mouse ears that the Harmons brought him from their DisneyWorld trip! Looking good!

E-A-G-L-E-S!!!

Go EAGLES! Brian and Matty yesterday in their Eagles gear getting ready to watch the game.

Thinking Outside the Box

Playing on a regular, old playmat on the floor? Been there, done that. What's the challenge? Where is the fun in that? Matty decided to take his playmat and, using his masterful rolling techniques, get a new perspective on play. You can see, he was VERY please with himself.

Last of the Summer sun and sand

Matty on his last beach day over the weekend. He was doing great posing for the picture, but then started to slip--good thing Brendan was holding on. Good thing summer is over, though, because all he wanted to do was roll off the blanket into the sand. When he got to the sand, he would scream because he got all sandy. Next summer will be a challenge!

Coffee Tables Rock

There is no doubt that Matthew has found out how fun it is to explore the house. He rolls, crawls, and flops all over the place. He decided that his toys were uninteresting at the moment, but being under the coffee table was the place to be!

I Did It!!

***Milestone Alert!***

On Sunday night, Matty took his first crawl forward. He's still figuring everything out, but he is increasingly on the move. Way to go!

"Watch out world, here I come!"

"Hooray! I did it!"

Goodbye, summer!

Hope everyone is enjoying the Holiday weekend. Here's a few random pics to help get you through!

Matty is now big enough to flip himself out of this chair...

He loves piloting his personal transportation device



"Matty, summertime is over... how does that make you feel?"

Almost There

Matty is really trying to crawl--he's starting to get close! He's getting everything in position, but hasn't quite figured out how to make it all work together.

How do I look?
