Take one toddler with wild hair.
Add two lollipops, a TV, some scissors, and a camera.
And suddenly you have a big boy.
But he still has curls, and I didn’t cry at all, and I guess I can stop carrying around hair ties in my pockets.
In the past two weeks, Matthew has figured out so many new things, it’s astounding. He can crawl with his belly off the floor, he can get himself into a sitting position, he can pull up to kneeling and standing, and he’s starting to climb. He’s started signing “milk”, “more”, “dog”, and “water”. He’s also cut two teeth and last night? Last night he slept ALL NIGHT LONG in his crib for the very first time ever – 8:30 PM to 6:17 AM. I’m completely out of breath trying to keep up with all of his changes, but I am also almost completely rested for the first time since before he was born!
