HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATTY CAKES!

EDITED: this post was created on Oct. 25 at 9:30 a.m.- Matthew's birthday. I am just now posting it.


Okay, I said I was going to do a countdown to Matt's birthday, and I stopped part way through. I am not going to even try to give any excuses, but here is Matthew's birthday post.

Today is my sweet baby's birthday. I get emotional just writing that. This year has truly been a whirlwind and I can't believe we have already had Matt with us for a year. He has been a wonderful blessing and brought more happiness to all of our lives than we could have ever imagined.


Things Matt has taught us:


  • having more than one child is a lot of fun
  • it isn't so bad having an almost five year difference between siblings
  • boys rule
  • baby #2 is much more laid back than baby #1
  • baby #2 causes parents to be much more laid back
  • some kids CAN and DO poop 7 times a day
  • our hearts are able to hold a lot more love than we thought
  • teeth hurt when they come in
  • baby giggles make everyone happy
  • you CAN love another child just as much as the first
  • saying "no" in even the kindest, sweetest voice doesn't make it any easier to hear
  • having a "daddy's boy" is more fun than having a "mama's boy"
  • he is going to be smarter than us someday soon, so we are enjoying the superiority while we can
  • even the sweetest kid can stink up a room
  • we make really cute kids- we now know it wasn't just a fluke with the first one

Here is a montage of some pictures of Matt over the last year.

Very cute and sweet. I can't wait till you come here.

Today someone asked me how old Addy was and I said she just turned 10 months. My friend looked at me and said, wasn't she born in November? I freaked out. She just turned 11 months. Time goes by too fast with babies.

I just showed Addy the video. She laughed and clapped the whole way through.
