My little man Matthew

While going back through my blog posts, I realized

I haven't updated at all really about Matthew!!

There is SO much to say about my amazing 

little boy.

As of late:

He has definitely hit the TERRIBLE twos!

(Reminder: He doesn't turn 2 until July!)

Temper tantrum central, NO's flying everywhere,

throwing of toys when he doesn't get his way, and

a minimum of 2 crying episodes a day

(sometimes more)

Yep, the whole shebang.

I am not amused, BUT that being said

he is also learning a TON!

Matthew says:

Mama

Dada

banana

cat

car

thank you

hola

hi

bye

Night night

dog

NO

more

bite

food

and many more.

He tries so hard to say:

grandma

grandpa

por favor

please

(he signs please but he has a hard time saying it)

Matthew is totally OBSESSED with:

 

CARS!!

He LOVES all things Cars. He watches the movie over and over 

again when we are in the car. He has almost all the mini cars from the movie.

He has a shirt that he runs around showing everyone his "Car"

SO cute! :)

He is so stinking smart.

  He knows where all his "body parts" are.

Nose, Ears, Eyes, Feet, Hands, Belly button, Mouth, and 

of course his peepee. 

Ask him to bring you anything and he'll go right to it and

bring it to you.

He LOVES to throw trash away, especially his diapers.

(Luckily he does NOT play in it. He just throws away the 

trash and then goes back to what he was doing)

He tells me when he goes poo poo by grabbing his privates.

I plan on starting to potty train him very soon, like within the next week.

He of course LOVES all the shows that I can't stand.

His favorites are:

Yo Gabba Gabba

Dino Dan

The Upside down Show

and

Blue's Clues

He is so good about going to bed.

( As long as someone reads him a story AND he has a toy)

Although, lately we have been finding him asleep on the floor.

Maybe the bed isn't comfortable and the floor is???

Or maybe it's because he goes to the floor to play with toys'

and is too tired to climb back into his bed.

I don't know. It's pretty funny though.

Except the nights I absentmindedly open the door

and Matthew is right behind it and I smack him with the door.

That isn't so funny, it's pretty sad actually.

Let me just say ahead of time.... 

He was completely asleep and it

was completely dark in his room. The flash on my camera made it look as

though its the middle of the day....

Does it make me a mean mom that I didn't move him right away?

I needed to get my camera and take a picture before we put him back in

bed. All while laughing hysterically :)

He loves to take baths

He loves his blankey

He loves his binky 

(I know he NEEDS to be rid of it and I'm working on it)

He loves his daddy

  He loves to talk on the phone or pretend to

He loves other kids, unfortunately he doesn't get to be around

them very often

He loves Mickey

He loves balls

He loves to give kisses

He loves his Uncle Steven

( I think he's Matthew's favorite!)

He loves to be outside

Matthew is such a sweet little boy. I love him so much and feel like we are

so blessed. Even though he really really tests my patience some days I 

wouldn't have it any other way. I LOVE that I get to spend everyday with

him rather than go to work. I love that I get to see him learn new things 

everyday! I am so glad to be his mommy :)
