The first of many....
Well, we have a laptop!!! We are the proud owners of a Mac book, pretty exciting. It's great to have the Internet at our fingertips again. And I'm pretty excited to have something to update my iPhone with as well as Skype, which I am sure we will be using to chat with family in the near future. In addition, we will hopefully be using the new computer to keep the blog going! I'm pretty disappointed in us for slacking with it because as I have looked back, it was a great way to document Matty's first year of life. Unfortunately we didn't document the second half as well as the first but there will be much more exciting things to come so here's to "the first of many"!!!
So...no pictures on the computer yet so I can't upload pictures but I can give a quick update on our lives...Matty turned one 3 weeks ago! Oh my god, where did the year go? We had a birthday party for him and had a great time celebrating with friends and family. Matty is cruising all over the place but has yet to take his first steps not holding onto anything, but we are pretty sure that time will be coming soon. He is very active and in 10 seconds of being on the floor, can tear up the house to look like a tornado hit it! One of his favorite things to do is climb the stairs, so we have been on a search for the perfect baby gate. I think we have bought (and returned) about 10 gates so far! We finally have the right one that works with our staircase and banister (which is what made it difficult!) but have only gotten the bottom of the stairs installed...it might be another month before the top is up. Right now, we do have one but it isn't one that you can open or close so we have to climb over it each time we are going up or down, I guess that will get old after a while.
Still no teeth...12 1/2 months and no teeth! Our pediatrician isn't worried...he said they will come when they are ready. Matty does fine without them and gums everything pretty well. There really isn't anything he doesn't eat. His current favorites are bananas, grapes, strawberries and peas. He is a pretty big fan of peanut butter and jelly too. One might think with all he eats he would be a bigger kid but he is still a little peanut! At his doctor's appointment this week, he was 20.8 lbs (13th percentile) and 29 1/2 inches (38th percentile)..he still fits into some of his 6-9 month pants! He is in the big kid room at daycare now too where he is playing either inside or outside most of the day but takes a 2 hour nap from 11-1 every day! Amazing! the kid who never used to nap more than 30 minutes at a time now naps 2 hours a day most days! He's sleeping pretty well at night too. He still wakes up once during the night, usually between 2-4am, I know I could probably wean him off of it but right now I don't mind.
There are so many other fun things going on with Matty that's it's hard to write about them all, but with the new laptop, I am going to try!

Where did March go???
Did we really not blog at all in March??? Okay, well here's a quick one and a commitment to get back to blogging once we buy a new computer...which should hopefully be soon! In the meantime, Matty is almost one!!! And we are getting excited about celebrating his birthday with lots of friends and family next weekend. A few recent pictures...
Enjoying Sat morning music class...
First Passover and a giant matzoh
Matty had his first haircut!!! He's a little apprehensive...
But ended up happy...
A laptop(hopefully a Mac)is in our future and blogging will once again become a regular thing for both of us!!!
