WOW, COUNTDOWN TIME!

I cannot believe it is almost August and more importantly, Matthew will be 1 on Monday, this year has flown by!  And I will be 30 on Tuesday!  I never thought 30 would come my way, but I will embrace it.  I am very excited for my 30's and so happy to see what 1 will bring for Matthew.  He has been an amazing and handsome blessing from God.  I just LOVE spending everyday with him!  He is such a great boy!

 Matthew is trying to use his sippy cup on his own, but it is the wrong way :)

Sara's Baby Shower Weekend

Last weekend Matthew and I went up to Wintergreen to stay the weekend at Christine and Dylan's Family Home.  It was so nice and perfect for this occasion.  Most of my Hokie Girls were able to make it.  Thank you Sara for having a baby so we can celebrate in this fashion and get together!  So much fun!  Hope everyone can enjoy some of the photos.

Poppie's Visit

My Dad came in town a couple days with Kyle to pack up his storage stuff and take Kyle's things to Cincinnati.  My brother, Kyle, will be starting law school at UC, so this way he now has all his things there with him for wherever he chooses to live.  While my Dad was here he was able to spend some time with Matthew.  It was nice since we have not seen him since Christmas.  Here are a few photos.  

Hodge's Lake House

Thank you to Meredith and Randy, we were able to see them, Skylar and Palmer up at their lake house.  We also got to meet some more great friends.  We really enjoyed our time and love any weekend we get to spend there with them!

Matthew's Visit with Great Grammie

Matthew is 11 Months TODAY!

We sat Matthew on our scale and he weighs in at 22 lbs.  It is crazy to believe he is almost 1 year old! Hope you enjoy the pictures. 

A few recent photos

Matthew is such a big boy, he now pulls himself up to the coffee tables and couch and he is crawling everywhere trying to get into all the fun stuff.  He loves the Hokie Pokie Elmo and always points to it for me to play him.  He has fun with Abby too and sharing his food with him.

Matthew's 1st Swim Lessons

Matthew took his first group of swim lessons with the city of Charlottesville.  He was in the starfish level one classs.  It was babies aged 6 months to 18 months.  They try and teach the babies how to kick, paddle, blow bubbles etc.  It is a fun class and really teaches the parents how to continue to teach their babies certain things for water safety.  Matthew and I have really enjoyed taking the class.  It was great the city provides them.  Below are a few pictures Ryan took when he watch us.
