Eight Months Old!

Mattilyn is getting so big! I can't believe how fast time is going. I just wish time would slow down a little bit. This is such a fun age. I want to make sure I enjoy every moment of it.






She cracks me up. She is looking at us like What?, I'm not doing anything!!!

Aqua Tots

Mattie started an Aqua Tots class on Monday at the Liberty Community Center. She really enjoyed it! Her favorite part was having Matt pull her through the water close to him and getting a kiss! It was hard to get decent pictures because they were always moving and the camera was fogged up for the first part of it. Matt got in with her this time so I could photograph but we plan on taking turns.

Eating!

Mattie loves to feed herself. She loves her Puffs and feeding her from a spoon is starting to get tricky since she wants to feed herself. I think finger foods are in the near future!

Cute Shirt

We got this shirt for Mattie after she was born from a friend from work! I just love it. It was hard to get a good picture since she doesn't like to sit still!

She is on the Go!!!

Mattie has been crawling for about a week and a half now and she has learned how to pull herself up. She is starting to get brave and try to walk along things so I am sure the fun is just beginning!






Here she is so proud of herself!




Uh oh! Daddy caught me!!

Mattie's First Thanksgiving!

Mattie had a very good Thanksgiving. I can't wait for her to be able to enjoy the Thanksgiving food! She did try some turkey puree baby food but I couldn't stand the smell and she wasn't too interested so she only had about two bites. Here are some pictures from her first Thanksgiving.






Mattie taking a nap after all the excitement of the day!
