Matix Getting Into Stuff :)

So this is what Matix used to look like when we caught him getting into stuff...

A little scared, and shocked that we noticed him getting into the dog food, or computer cords, or kitchen cabinets... but now he thinks it is funny. Look at this little stinker!

When we are over at Grandma and Grandpa's house we can hear him crawling on the kitchen floor and when we see him heading toward the dog bowls we say, "Matix..." and he crawls faster and sometimes giggles. :)

Father's Day

So this is Paul's first Father's Day and I am so happy that he is the father of my baby. He is such an attentive and loving Daddy to Matix. And Matix is absolutely in love with him. Paul gets the biggest smiles and squeals and giggles from Matix. Happy Father's Day Paul!

Matix also made Paul some original pieces of artwork. :) I bought some canvas, and with the help of Auntie Colleen, Grandma Stacy and Grandma Kim, we got it done. I will add more pictures soon from Stacy's camera with the "how it was done" pictures...

Paul Graduated!

Paul graduated last month from ASU!  Hooray, hooray!  President Obama spoke at the commencement ceremony and Paul graduated Cum Laude... Good job Paul!  

Paul's Grandparents came from Utah to see him walk.  Liana, Arch and his Uncle Bill got to come.  Paul's brother Dale, his wife Vanessa, and their son Gavin come to Arizona every summer, so they got to be there too.  Of course Paul's parents and sister Colleen and Matix and I were there as well.  It was a very nice ceremony and wasn't too long either.

Paul's Aunt Liana made a really cool DVD (thanks Liana) with the pictures and videos that she took, but I can't figure out how to put it on the blog, so mine will have to do.  It isn't as long or fancy, but you will get the point. :)

We are all so proud of you Paul!

Eating REAL food

So after Matix had his 4 month check up, the Dr. said he is ready to start eating REAL food! :) Yay! So here is a video of the first few foods. It has been a long time since then and he LOVES to eat. He especially loves it when we let him try the food we are eating.

Matix Crawling

So, it seemed to take Matix forever, but at 7 months old he started to crawl. He had been getting so frustrated not being able to move to the toy he wanted, so we were thrilled when he figured out how to move around independently from us. Now Matix wants to walk everywhere, but has very little balance... We will see. :) Watch the video below.

I'm sorry, so sorry... :)

Okay, so I know it has been a LONG time coming, but you will just have to wait a little bit longer. :) We haven't updated our blog in forever, but now I am done with my work and almost done unpacking our things in our house for the summer.

Matix eats lots of food now, is crawling and trying hard to walk, but has little balance. He also dances when he hears music or Paul sings to him. Paul graduated (yay Paul!) in May and is excited about moving. Jessie is REALLY excited about moving :) Matix and I get to play all day on the beach...

Sometime next week I am planning on posting lots of things, so you will have to scroll down a bit (I am assuming) Anyway... I have been hearing a lot from friends and family lately, and I WILL do it soon. :)
