Culinary Challenge

 Matty enjoys every opportunity he can get to "cook".  A culinary master?  Not quite yet.  He is a master at using the pepper grinder, though.  He likes to pretend to cook by putting pepper in a bowl, cup, or anything handy.  Then, he dips his finger in and tastes it, and says, "MMMmm". :-)

Working on a new recipe

 Just needs a little more pepper...

Oops..hope Mommy doesn't notice the spill on the floor...

Smile for the camera!

Hungry Belly

 On the look out for Daddy...

 Show us your hungry belly, Matty!

Daddy is home with lunch--yeah!!

Snack Time!

Who knew a bowl of Cheerios could keep two toddlers occupied, just quietly sharing their snack?!

One for Matty...

 

Now, one for Zoe...

Mmm.  Cheerios

Matty and Zoe

Matty had a lot of fun playing with Zoe over the weekend!  They got along really well and had lots of playing near each other (and with!)  :-)

 

Working on the barter system...

Flashback Friday

Matty in March 2010:  Chubby and in need of a haircut

Now, Matty in March 2011:  Skinny and still in need of a haircut. :-)

Sin Cere

Matty is loving the safety-tipped Q-Tips.  He takes some time every morning to do a once-over on his ears. :-)

Just an Ordinary Morning...

Matty can successfully remove his pjs--the first step in getting dressed, right?  After his pjs were tossed aside, he found a comb and was attempting to brush his hair to get ready for the day.  Then, he headed into the office (comb still in hand), to peruse the video game and movie selection.  Not sure which one he decided to pick :-)

New Room

Having some fun in the new nursery.  It's not quite finished yet (more nursery pics when it's all done), but Matty decided it would be a fun place to run around this morning...

Carrots, please

So, for the second morning in a row, Matty got up asking for carrots for breakfast.  I think he saw Elmo eating carrots the other day and just figured it would make a good breakfast.  We had some carrots in the fringe, so I cut up some crunchy slices and he was super excited....until he took a bite.  He decided that he wasn't actually a fan of carrots.  Bummer! :-)

Here's my helper changing the sheets today....
