Where has the time gone???

So my last post was Matty's 2 month check up and this Monday is his 3 month birthday...where has the time gone???? So much has happened and so many "firsts" for us all...here is a quick rundown...

1. Andrew finished his first year of teaching!!! Yeah!!! Now he is off for the summer and enjoying the time with Matty and Me.

2. Matty made his first road trip with us last week when we traveled to NY to visit family. First we stayed at my parents house where Matty met Willie, my parents dog for the first time, and got his first lesson in which way the ceiling fan goes...clockwise or counter clockwise. We then went to Long Island to visit Andrew's family and met many family friends for the first time including his Great Grandfather who will turn 100 this years! Next we headed to the Hamptons where he met his cousins, Max, Dani and Alex for the first time.

3. While on vacation, Matty saw his first fireworks...he was fine until the finale.
4. Also on vacation (while sunning ourselves in the Hamptons),Matty swam in a pool for the first time and went to the beach for the first time. He seemed to really enjoy both...takes after both mom and dad.

5. Matty went to the movies for the first time when we went to see UP! at the drive in...great idea with a baby! He also went to the movies for the second time when we saw The Hangover...he laughed a lot (no, he really slept a lot)...who said you can't do anything now that you have a baby?

6. Matty experienced the first real "big celebrity death" of his life...and 2 weeks later, aren't we all just a little sick of hearing about it?

7. And the biggest first (since becoming parents...) Andrew and I are first time home owners! We recently bought a townhouse and are moving at the end of this month! We are so excited to have more room, a backyard and a bathtub to look forward to with our family! Not to mention not having to trudge up 3 flights of stairs! So the rest of the month is all going to be about packing and moving(hopefully with a little summer fun beach time thrown in a bit).

Here's a few recent pictures of our recent adventures with the little one:

Swinging away on the 4th of July...he had a very patriotic outfit on.


Matty and Daddy...toes in the sand.


What a little sneak...busting out of his swaddle.


Taking a picture of him each week on his chair hasn't really been working...I think this might have been 9 or 10 weeks.


Modeling his "baby legs"...the coolest thing instead of pants, like giant leg warmers for babies. These will be great when he starts crawling, and they make diaper change so easy.


Ready for the pool!


In the pool!


At the beach in Bridgehampton. I think Matty was looking around for famous people.
