Talking to Daddy on the Phone

Bye bye crib

Almost two weeks ago, we decided to give Matthew more freedom in his sleeping accommodations. We started by taking the front railing off his crib. It worked out pretty well except for at least one fall out of the bed and another that we're not sure what happened. And then there was this night when he fell asleep half way out of the bed:

We had a toddler bed from my sister in the garage, and we decided that we needed to get that into use ASAP.  We got it up and functioning over the weekend.  Then on Monday, we got offered a hand-me-down bed from one of my mother-in-law's coworkers.  So we picked it up last night.  I didn't really think he'd be transitioning to a twin size bed so soon, but Matthew insisted on having it be his bed right now.  So basically we've been having an awesome week of musical beds!

How did he learn about jumping on the bed so fast?

A few more pictures



We took a drive into San Francisco to visit my former place of employment: Williams-Sonoma corporate headquarters. The drive was a little hectic, but it was so fun to see my friends there and show off Matthew's latest tricks!



Matthew loves, loves, loves these magnets. They're just orange squares with letters on them,
but he plays with them every day.

Matthew loves to eat his PBJ in the living room.  I'm trying to encourage more eating at the table.

Matthew has started wearing sunglasses in the car every once in a while.  On this day, he fell asleep during the drive.

Picking Peaches

 We went to pick peaches with Matthew's cousins.  They had a lot of fun together!  Matthew is lucky to have cousins living close by!

Those peaches were juicy!  Matthew's shirt did not survive unscathed!
