The title says it all. In the past two weeks, Matthew has mastered crawling. He can go from one end of the house to the other in under 5 minutes. He also has a radar for all things off limits. I actually got down on my hands and knees to crawl through the house to see what dangers lie ahead. He seems to be most interested in the germiest of things, like the door stop, remote control, keys, shoes, area rugs...did I mention that everything goes in his mouth??? Speaking of mouth, we now have 4 teeth!! It's been a busy two weeks.
At the same time he's figured out how to crawl, he decided to master walking too. He wants someone to hold his hands so he can walk all through the house. He can actually go pretty fast too. We get tired out long before he does. We bought him a walker a few days ago to satisfy his walking desire while hopefully saving our backs from walking hunched over all day, but he can only go backwards in it so far, so it only takes about 2 minutes before he asks to get out and walk with me again :-)As this new freedom is emerging, so is his ability to express his likes and dislikes. We have actually witnessed our first temper tantrum, and I'm sure it won't be the last.
Matthew's new favorite time of the day is bath time, now that he's graduated to the big boy bath tub. It is hilarious to watch him splash around like a fish in water. Matthew is also talking all day long now, though we still can not understand a word of it. I think he is saying Rah for Sierra and everything else he calls ma ma. I won't complain about that :-)
Finally, he has also caught on to the camera, and he smiles a big cheesy grin every time you aim one his way...well, maybe not EVERY time.
