Matthias swimming


Matthias is 20mths old and loves the water. He obviously has no fear. He continues to be so different from Adeline and Darton. He's curious about everything. Since 8mths old we noticed that he is very observant. Therefore it doesn't take him long to know how to do something....especially the things he's not suppose to do ;). He's also our first to challenge our authority so soon. We are having to stay on top of it, although with an infant in my arms, he knows he can get away with too much! He's now taken to screaming at us in order to get our attention or to tell us that he doesn't want to do something. When he sets his mind on something the boy is SUPER determined that it's going to happen. We are reinforcing that he must obey the first time and have him show us number one with his index finger.
He loves to play with A & D and give kisses to Macklin. Although he's one to kiss the baby when you are looking and hit him when you are not! He is continuing to thrive with his sign language and the Baby Signing DVDs keep his attention long enough that he learns from them more than me. He daily signs "baby" to tell us he wants to watch the videos.
His daily phrases are "Where is it?" and "What is it?"  He also now says "I want some." It's all so very cute!
