Happy Half a Birthday Matthew!!

Happy six months baby boy. It's hard to believe we're already halfway to your first birthday. Everyone keeps telling us to enjoy our time with you because it goes fast, and boy it does. We love you so much and are so blessed to have you in our lives. We look forward to watching you grow over the years.
Love,
Mommy and Daddy

Just Like Daddy

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I hope that everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving and that you were able to share it with ones that you love. At Mass this morning, Father Hung read George Washington's Thanksgiving Proclamation from 1789. If you haven't had a chance to read it before, it's definitely worth checking out. Without a doubt, Scott and I have a lot to be thankful for this year. But I think that this little guy below tops the list....

He's All Boy

Despite my attempts to work on Matthew's femine side today by taking him to the scrapbook store and to the bakery, this is what he did when we got home....

The Difference Between Mom and Dad

Can you guess which feeding was done by Scott and which was done by Cheryl? Which one do you think was more fun?

Matthew's in Training

Well it looks like it's time to get Matthew in shape. Ok, maybe it's really time to get Scott and Cheryl in shape. So we're in training again and hoping to run a half marathon in January. So wish us luck. Although Matthew is doing his part and working hard at his jogging stroller riding skills as well. And it must be paying off because......

.....yep, this is Matthew sitting up by himself. And it looks like crawling isn't too far away either.

I've also included a picture from his last swimming class. This is Matthew and daddy doing "reach and pull" exercises.
