Matthew crawling for the 1st time

Matthew was 9 Months & 1 Day old on Friday, September 25 and it turned out to be a very special day...he crawled for the first time!

Ryan and I were getting ready to feed him supper and Matthew decided he would surprise us and delay eating a little longer so he could play and show us his new trick of crawling! We were so thankful that we were both home to witness this milestone and we actually caught it on video. What a brilliant child we have! :)

Matthew's first airplane ride to SC

Here is a preview of our trip to Rock Hill, SC. Matthew did great on the airplane ride - although the people sitting around us might have thought otherwise since Matthew "talked" the entire 3 hour ride to SC. He did manage about a 45 minute nap and was otherwise very happy and interested in his surroundings. The video below is worth a thousand words...hope you enjoy and I'll have more photos and videos to share soon. It has truly been a blessing to spend some quality time with family! God is so good!

Where has the time gone?

I can't believe it's already September...where has the time gone?!? My sweet little prince is already 8 months old and is growing right before my eyes!

Matthew loves bath time and we recently got some tub toys for him to play with while he splashes around in the tub. One of his favorites are the letters that stick to the side of the tub. One night Ryan was spelling out words for him and Matthew thought the sound of them hitting the side of the tub was so funny. I posted the video below. I never get tired of hearing him giggle!! It's music to my ears!
