The last blog post I made was at my mother-in-law's house (which is where I am now) and where I predicted that Matt would learn to crawl by the end of the month.
WRONG!!
I went upstairs to where Ben and Matt were after I finished the post last time and there he was, crawling after the bunnies!! It was awesome and a little scary! I think our carpet at home is a little more slippery than the one at grandma's so he was able to get some traction and take off!! So, our little boy is officially no longer a tiny little baby...
Wow.
Now, Hobbes just has to learn to stay out of the way, or his ears will get pulled off (fortunately he's a patient dog...I will have pictures/video of this later don't worry)...

Super Baby!
Unfortunately there are no pictures to go with this post, but once our computer gets back or our pictures get accessible then there will be tons to upload!
Exciting new things that Matthew has decided to master on his own somehow and in the last 24 hours include:
1) Going from being on the floor on his back or stomach to sitting up again. He learned this while our backs were turned. Neither Ben or I saw him trying to figure it out, yesterday he just fell over from a sitting position and then all of a sudden, he was sitting up again! Very cool.
2) Peas are now an acceptable flavor.
3) He has learned the value of self propelled motion. He is almost crawling and yesterday he took two or three lunge crawls towards the dog and freaked out our poor canine. I don't think Hobbes (the aforementioned mutt) ever thought the little person would be able to move on his own but now that he can, Matt heads straight for the dog every time!! It's really funny to watch. I'm betting he'll be crawling well before the month is out!!
4) While Ben and I were on our technology hiatus Matt grew two bottom teeth and is discovering that he can bite things. This is not as great for us as it is for him.
5) This is even less great for us but a communication marker nonetheless. He has discovered the power of the whine for more than just to tell us that he's tired or hungry or messy as was his previous tendency. Now, he will whine when there's something else he wants that he doesn't have. This afternoon is was Ben's sister's two bunnies. However, they wouldn't have appreciated being chew toys so he got to whine about it for a while longer....Ben and I are hoping to rub out this whining thing because we aren't that fond of it.
6) Matt can now find anything to grab with two hands that is taller than him and will use it to pull himself up to a standing position. Fun to watch, a little scary when he does it during bath time.
7) He is a dare devil and during the last few days has decided that sticking his face in the water during baths for an instant is a thrill. He comes up wet and grinning and it's cute.
Pictures will be back soon!

We're still alive
Don't worry...our lengthy absence is only temporary. It's been a busy busy last few weeks and the main source of the lack of communications is because Ben's computer (more "fondly" known as Toby) has decided to die, and then not die, and then die again...and all in the screen. Then at other times between dead and not dead he has screen seizures that shake the screen making it impossible to read or do anything with. Did I kill Toby the PC? Heavens no! Although Ben thinks, probably correctly, that my love of Macs didn't help with Toby's unforseen illness...So...until we get a new computer our internet access will be random and unfortunately far between (at least for me...Ben can use his computer at work of course).
