Matthew turns Nine Months!

Matthew turns Nine Months!

 Taking our usual monthly picture has proved harder than it used to be now that Matthew is CRAWLING!

But we managed to get a good one. It captures his curiosity perfectly. 

We have managed to go full on Christmas Spirit in our household complete with Christmas lights, Christmas Ornaments, Christmas Stuffed animals, Christmas Stockings, and Christmas Pajamas!

 I finished Matthew's stocking just in time for Christmas season. 

Matthew loves wearing different hats to keep his head warm, and his hair is growing rapidly! It will be time for  haircut soon. 

He loves giggling with daddy and red beans and rice. Oh my, does this child love beans.

I walked into his nursery one morning to find him standing up like this... 

time to lower the crib!

  

 Fun at Ami and PaPere's house!

He was not very enthusiastic about being Mommy's hat model... until he got one of his own on Christmas Day!

He loves his new playpen, and so does Mommy and Daddy!

 

On Christmas Eve, Matthew got pretty sick, so we took him to the doctor. Though we had to cancel our Christmas plans and stay home, it was nice to spend some quality time together....

Matthew managed to stay in good spirits on Christmas Eve too. 

 Christmas Morning crawling with his new toys...

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

Matthew turns Eight Months!

He is growing so fast, and now understands the meaning for paper on the table at the Doctor's office!

He finds spaghetti a little confusing, but loves feeding us now!

The many hats of Matthew Canfield...

We Voted! He loved his little Blue Dog Sticker :-)

Matthew playing with his little friend, Bryson! Matthew started to pull up after watching Bryson do it for an evening! He loves dumping all of his toys out too. 

We traveled to Dallas to visit my sister, Matthew's Aunt YaYa, Uncle Chad, and cousin Lila. 

  

They were exhausted...

 Cowboys Game on Thanksgiving Day!

Matthew had his first visit from Santa Claus! He slept through it....

Fun at the Gaylord Texan after Thanksgiving. He was a tired baby.  

After our trip to Dallas, we went to the Lake House for another family Thanksgiving! It was so fun to have all of the babies together. 

 Happy Thanksgiving! I am loving all of the artwork from my baby boy.

Matthew started at the Early Learning Center this month too. It was hard for me to drop him off, but the director sent this picture, and it made me so happy. 

Napping with Daddy... Playing with his toys!

We visited the pumpkin patch too... Happy October!

Matthew was not enthused...

 

Naps on Mommy...

Smiles, hats, and superhero masks...
