First baseball game and 9 month appointment





On Thursday, we took Matthew to his first baseball game. A coworker gave me free tickets so we arranged for a sitter and took Matthew after work. He was a little impatient with finding a parking spot because he was ready to eat but daddy put him on his shoulders and we headed straight to the hot dog stand. Matthew didn't want to sit very long as he thought that he was going to get to play baseball. We took him to centerfield where they let kids throw balls and bat off a tee. Matthew was not used to the tee. He called it "that stick". He enjoyed an icee and French fries and a little ice cream in a rangers hat cup. The weather just cooled down on the 70s so it was nice. The rangers beat Cleveland and Matthew enjoyed a few fireworks.

Audrey had her 9 month check up. She is healthy and growing. She was a little constipated from eating so many solid foods but she is better today. She has some teeth cutting on the top.

Weight: 19 lbs 14 oz 76%
Height: 27.5 inches 41%
Head Circumference 17 3/4 in 83%

Last week was Teddy bear week and Matthew had to care for his Teddy all week at school. He enjoyed it. They made charts of colored gummy bears and had a picnic with their bear on Friday. We enrolled Matthew in a music class because he enjoys learning. He had a soccer game on Saturday morning and he was timid at first but he was so happy and confident afterwards.

Guido Wedding





Matthew was so excited to attend his first wedding. Normally he would stay behind while Andy and I went to a wedding. He said "do I get to come?"
We traveled to Fayetteville, Arkansas to attend my uncle Joe's wedding. My mom's brother married her best friend from high school. They have known each other for a long time but finally got together after all these years. Janet has always been around our family and we always thought she was family until our mom explained otherwise. Now we can say that she is officially family!

Audrey cried in her car seat but it was an easy trip otherwise. Matthew played with other boys and ran around until 11pm at night. He thought he was one of the big boys. Audrey slept some at the reception but then woke up and enjoyed the festivities late in the evening.
