Packing and loading

Matthew playing tug with Missy. He loves trying to play with the dogs. Yesterday he kept trying to play with my parents dog, Hershey. He would grab one of his toys and hold it out to him. Hershey would grab it and Matthew would scream with delight. This would unnerve Hershey so much he would automatically let go. Matthew would then look so disappointed and immediately try to get Hershey to come back. He has even less success getting Missy to play with him, but today they played for maybe 30 seconds.

Matthew had an awesome time clicking his toys together and having mom mimic him. He loves to play with her.
What a happy munchkin!


It's been a long day of packing, shuffling, and loading stuff. Mom came out and sat with Matthew while we tried to get stuff done. We did ok until we got the couch upstairs and found out that we couldn't do a thing with it. It's too wide to stuff through any of the doors and it's too tall to stand on end in the hallway. We left it upstairs in the hall for now because we struggled to get it up. But it will have to come down again. Sigh. I still have alot of sorting to do.

I don't think I have mentioned it before but Matthew learned to wave yesterday. If you wave at him, he will wave back. It's really cute because he has to watch his hand while he waves. He has also started to play ball with us. If you toss him the ball, often he will either throw it back or he will bring it back and place it in your hand. I think it's awful cute, but then I'm a little bit biased. I think almost everything he does is cute. Another thing he loves to do is play peek-a-boo. What a grownup little person he is becoming. He even will sit for a little while on the couch with us like another adult.
