We had a little party on November 18th with cupcakes, candles, and some singing and another party on Saturday with a "smash" cake for the birthday boy. He got lots of great presents and we all had to play with them right away, well after a bath to wash away all the cake!

11 Months

2009-10-19T09:57:00.003-05:00

One year is approach fast. We’ve been having lots of fun going to the library for Book Babies, stroller rides, and playing outside on a blanket. The cooler weather is nice but we had a cold front that made it too cold.

The little one likes to pull himself up using everything and then everything he can reach he’ll throw on the floor. He walks behind his lawnmower toy. He crawls all over the house and especially after the cats, who usually retreat very quickly.

He likes to point at everything and everyone. We can ask him where some things are (like the cat, bib, certain toys) and he’ll point to it or go after it.

Nine Month Mark

2009-08-19T10:27:00.004-05:00

The little guy is getting big and I can tell when I carry him around the house. He has a new (3rd) tooth up top. So there's lots of drooling and chewing.

We started Book Babies at the library yesterday. The leader is great with kids; very outgoing. She leads us in songs with motions and she reads to the babies. There were about 9 babies in the class. Our little one danced a little, laughed a little, and looked around at everything (expecially the leader).

We are still going to the pool party once a week. Yesterday I took him out of his floating and we went surfing on a skin board- type thing. He had lots of fun on the new toy.

He is pulling himself up to a standing position. He's good at it in the crib and with parental help, but not so great pulling up on furniture. But it's only a matter of time.

We are having so much fun this summer. We hope everyone is staying cool and having fun too.

Summer Days

2009-08-07T21:38:00.009-05:00

We've been doing much of the same. Tuesdays are pool days. It's been hot so the stroller rides are at the mall or in the evening. Matthew goes down to the pond to see the fish and turtles (the neighbors feed them bread) in the afternoon when there's shade near the shore.

We went to the library, for the first time, last Monday. They were having a quilt show so we looked around and read some books. We had lots of fun. They have an infant story time so we marked our calendar to check it out.

He is crawling all around the house. The cat, Squirty, likes to park it about 4 feet away and when the little one gets his tail he'll move 4 more feet. We try to encourage him to be gentle with the kitty.

8 Months

2009-07-21T14:29:00.004-05:00

Well, it's a few days past the 8 month mark. Time keeps ticking and the little guy keeps growing. He started eating Cheerios for a snack and he really likes them. He can pick them up himself but they don't make it to his mouth, usually the floor. So daddy feeds the Os.

We are still going to the pool party every week. Last weekend everyone went for a swim on Saturday. It was a short one because a storm was coming. The little one has a baby floaty he sits in. He is kicking and holding himself up much better than when we started. He likes to get out of the floaty and really kick and splash.

Lots Going On

2009-07-10T15:28:00.005-05:00

We have a lot of new things going on. We all had company over the 4th of July weekend. Grandma Kris, Uncle Jeff, and Aunt Heather visited the first part of the weekend. Then Poppi, Nana, and Taylor came for the second part. We had fun visiting the beach at sunset, shopping, and staying cool.

The little one is scooting around the house. The Dr. called it, "the military crawl." He went to the Dr's at 7 months and is doing great. He has his 2 bottom teeth and is drooling and chewing lots. He is starting to sit on his own (for a few second) but he still prefers to scoot about to get to his toys. Soon we'll need to baby proof the house.

Pool Fun

2009-06-24T13:36:00.003-05:00

The pool party and a "speedo" and Baby and mom in the pool. We stays in the shade with a floppy hat and get a workout kicking. He likes the splashing all the kids do and he likes to splash in and out of his little floaty boat.

7 Months

2009-06-18T10:47:00.005-05:00

7 months today! He's taking a long nap this morning and mom has time to make his late morning meal.

Last weekend the family went blueberry picking. We all had lots of fun. We all were picking (trying to) more blueberries from the bucket than the trees. Dad carried him in the harness carrier. It was a hot morning but we had some shade and lots of fun.

Baby and mom go to a pool party at our neighbor's every Tuesday. We got in the water for the first time this week. He wasn't sure if he liked it when his feet were in but he warmed up to the water quick. He was kicking, splashing, and squealing once he was in up to his belly and neck. They had a baby float that he liked to ride in too. Ms Elaine took a picture, I'll have to ask her for a copy.

OK

2009-06-11T16:04:00.004-05:00

Another day at the office and here's an an OK sign because naps are a go today.

Transportation

2009-06-04T15:50:00.004-05:00

We wanted to blog today (instead of taking a nap). He wants everyone to see his new walk-about sling.

6 Months - Today

2009-05-18T16:08:00.004-05:00

6 months old today. He started talking with the ga-ga and ba-bas. It's so cute. He still likes to roll and lay on his tummy. He know he needs to be on his tummy to scooch (not crawl) along. He likes playing with anything he can get and then he likes to chew on it too.

He gives lots of smiles and giggles.

Family Visit

2009-05-18T16:07:00.003-05:00

Grandma Ann and Aunt Lisa visit us in Florida. We had lots of baby and lots of sun for them.

Summer is Coming

2009-04-29T13:51:00.004-05:00

The little guy is more mobile now, rolling to his tummy and side to side to get things he wants, like blocks, rattles, and stuffed animals. He has discovered the joy of sleeping on his tummy too. If you turn him on his back he’ll turn himself right back over. And most days he takes at least 2 good naps.

We still go on our walk about around the yard (and neighbor’s yards) and stroller rides. It’s nice and cool in the morning and evenings. He is tickled when the wind blows on his face and we get lots of giggles and smiles. He likes to reach out and grab thing but the only things we’re quick enough to touch are trees and flowers. We’re having so much fun!

Easter

2009-04-12T15:25:00.006-05:00

Happy Easter!
We all went to church today to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord. We all liked the singing and the little one had several amens, in the form of raspberries (one of his favorite things to do) for the preacher. He also likes to hit very high pitches as he squeal with delight, but he didn’t have many of those for the preacher today. Maybe we’ll keep them for play time.

Yesterday we planted some flowers in front of the house and our little man helped to position and space them. He did a great job, but soon it was time for a nap and he took a rare 2 hour nap. It must have been all that yard work. He’s chewing and grabbing everything in reach. Very soon long hair will be a no-no.

More Smiles and more Giggles Everyday

He smiles at getting kisses, hearing funny sounds, and just during a conversation. He likes to play with stuffed animals, listen to music, and look at books. He has a lot of animal books.

He goes on walk abouts around the neighborhood (mostly the back yard and over to the pond). We usually see turtles, ducks, and birds and one day we saw a snake!

Music

All Nighter

2009-02-04T11:36:00.004-06:00

This time it was the baby, not the parents pulling the all nighter (even though we haven’t been up more than once at night for several weeks now). Last night he slept from 10 pm to 7 am (without the 5 am feed)!!! He’s on a flexible schedule where his bedtime is between 7:30 and 8 and his “good morning” is between 7 and 8. His new stats are: he’s a little longer (24”) than average and weight (11lb) is average

Today was a little cold for Panama City. We had some floor play time in the morning and we bundled up with a Pooh hat for a walk in the afternoon. The little one fell asleep after we saw some wading birds in the water.

Smiles

BABY'S FIRST CHRISTMAS!!

2008-12-25T09:09:00.007-06:00

A Christmas video from the Shaw's:

Merry Christmas

The family went to candle light service on Christmas Eve. It was baby's first time in big church. There were lots of kids making a little noise but Matthew stayed quiet, only a few gurgles and coos. He liked the singing but not the clapping. Christmas morning we got up early but soon after Matthew and mom took a nap. All the excitement got to us. We hope you had an exciting time too.

Our little baby had the honor of playing baby Jesus at our church. We'll be putting that one on his resume. Mom and Dad played Mary and Joseph, of course.

Christmas Eve

2008-12-24T13:38:00.007-06:00

It’s Christmas Eve!

Last night we had our luminaries and the weather was great. The streets were lined with lights. Inside we listened to baby Christmas music and watched Matthew looking at the tree and cooing. Today we are getting ready for the Candle Light service at church tonight. We’ll have to see if he’ll sing or sleep through it. Our pastor always says it’s a good thing to hear the little ones singing in church (he is very kind because we have a nursery where they can sing too).

3 Days

2008-12-23T10:01:00.004-06:00

Hello Family and Friends

Tonight our neighborhood has luminaries, a lighted celebration of Christmas. Everyone in the neighborhood puts out candles in white bags along the road. The last time we had the luminaries it poured on the candles and it was a soggy mess but very pretty before the rain came. This year should be clear and cool (no snow, yet!).

Christmas is coming

2008-12-18T15:31:00.005-06:00

We are getting ready for Christmas and having lots of fun with the little one. We picked out a Christmas tree a few weeks ago. Then all helped decorate it. The little one was in charge of decorations. He did a great job.

4 weeks old now and an active little thing. We call him our little wiggle worm. He likes to move his arms all over, especially above his head like his football team just made a touchdown and kicks his little legs (he’ll be a runner like his dad).

He sleeps good at night (between feedings) and sometimes during the day he’ll skip a nap and be up 6-8 hours. The first time he did it I thought he would catch up on sleep the next day, but no he did it again. So that’s just how he is. The doctor said at his 2 week visit, “he’s very alert”. That’s a good thing.

He has started to smile at silly sounds, so the baby sends everyone a big smile

Week 1 and 2

2008-12-05T13:04:00.006-06:00

Here's the first 2 weeks at home. He's been sleeping, but what about the parents???

2 Week Countdown

2008-11-05T10:47:00.001-06:00

The countdown is on. We have 2 weeks to the due date. We’ve been working on decorating the nursery and finishing the last minute shopping. Even though Lisa is on the large size, she is feeling well, still walking and taking yoga classes. Steve is keeping in shape at his softball games. They have their playoff game Nov17th. Coach wants the baby to wait until after that game. We’ll see.

More Baby Stuff

2008-10-19T18:53:00.003-05:00

Lisa has one month to go. Everything is going well with Dr visits and feeling well. The church women’s bible study had a surprise shower. The diaper tower in the picture is from the shower.
We are still working on the nursery. It’s painted and the crib is put together, two important things.
