Hey its May already...Wow is time flying!

Okay so its been ummm..... 4 months since ive posted. I've been a bit busy with work, Matteo and being pregnant... lol

Quick stat update on Matteo. At his 15month appointment he was 34inches tall, and 24.4 lbs. He is pretty avg on weight but height I think he's still in the 90percentile.  Which is quick fun when buying pants b/c he is in 24m approx. and they are too big in the waist, and if I keep him in the 18month its like he's wearing flood pants lol.  At this doctors appointment the doctor said he was reaching all him milestones and doing great.  He got 2 needles that day in each arm and was pretty grumpy the rest of the day.

Some things that are new with Matteo....well he has gotten 4 molars, and 2 eye teeth are just starting to come in.  He is growing his hair, and its getting a little curly at the back (so cute!), he's interested in TV these days, favourite shows: #1 Daniel Tiger and #2 Mickey Mouse Club. Its so cute when he watches the MMC b/c at the end when the 'hotdog dance' song comes on he claps and/or dances and then says bye bye and waves to Mickey.  I need to get this on camera! He loves to talk and says lots of words (baby talk of course) like dada, mama, cat, dog, hi, bye, wa (for water), bath, bubbles, upstairs, downstairs, more, no (one of his favs), diaper.... ummm... I'm sure there are a few others.. but he really tries to copy what we are saying. He is really good at understanding what we are saying.  He has this stuffed bear in his room that is bigger them him, and if I ask him where big bear is he go and gets him and gives him a cuddle . Its really amazing how much he understands... he does really listen to everything i'm saying (not that he LISTENS and OBEYS everything though) hehe gotta work on that.  He still loves the water, and recently with this LOVELY summer weather we are having Dom has set up his new water table and he loves it! He is doing good with food, not great but good ....I think the teething really doesnt help though. I would also love if he'd drank more milk. Its a challenge these days to get  him to drink a cup. So I usually have to give him cereal w/milk and lots of yogurt.  Anyways after my loooong winded post I will leave you with some pics of the little man. (Okay just was uploading and I have a lottttttttttttt so I am going to split them .. the pics below are form Jan to end of March..Easter)

Update post

So here are some updates of Matteo:

He had his 1year check up, and is 22.4 lbs (64% percentile) and 81cm tall (98 percentile), he got 2 shots that day, and this time in his arm b/c he's a big boy.  He was actually pretty good during the whole thing.

He's walking now, really just started doing to it around his 1st bday, and now he loves walking everywhere and usually chooses to walk over crawl.

He eats a lot of our food.  I'd say his favourites are bagels and cream cheese, tomatoes, strawberries, chicken cutlets with sauce, meatballs...actually this list could go on and on.  I have to say he's a good little eater.  He also is drinking more 3.25% milk from a sippy cup.

He loves to talk away in baby talk and says words like dada, up, bye bye, tac (for cat) and sometimes mama .  His new favourite thing is to point with his index finger to whatever he wants.

Loves water and bath time.

He is just a cutie and its amazing to watch him grow everyday and watch him do new things.

Over the past few days he has had his first fever (as high as 39.5) and took him to the doctors yesterday to see what was up.   He has a double ear infection!! So my poor little guy has been in a bunch of pain.. the antibiotics should start kicking in today. That is all for now.

Matteo's 1st Birthday!

Matteo's first birthday party was on Sunday December 30th, and we had 40 or so guest that wanted to celebrate with our little guy.  It was hectic but tons of fun.  It was nice to see all our family and friends together.  I had decided it do cookie monster themed, and the cake was soooo amazing! Matteo made out like a bandit.  Tons of clothes and TOYS!!! Seriously we are set for awhile now.  Thank you to everyone! He was so cute do when he actually decided to dive into his cake and just so cute when he watched everyone sing happy birthday to him. We do have it on video but its too big to upload on here.

Looking cute, before all the festivities
