I cannot believe Matthew will be 20 Months on Saturday! April is just about already here!

Here are a couple more pictures of him at the park.

Also, we have been trying to keep track of his vocabulary. He is talking so much more now! Here are just a few common everyday words he uses :)

To the right is his pronunciation if he doesn’t say it properly.

Pizza – Piya

Milk – Mil

Water - Wawa

Cereal – eol

Apple

Stinky – and he grabs his diaper (usually doesn’t like sitting in it) – well sometimes, this has seemed to subside :(

Gold Fish – Fishies

Blankies – Beashies

Paci – Saci/Thassy

Night Night – nigh nigh

Beans (for green beans or black beans – he likes most all beans)

Cheese

Alligator

Froggy

He can make Animal Sounds

Elmo

Abby

Football -

Basketball – Bball

Golf – Foff

Soccer -

Wolfy – Foolfy

Friday, I watched Owen most of the morning and the 1st couple of hours Matthew would just watch and observe Owen, then he decided it was ok to play with him. He wanted to do whatever Owen was doing. Including when it was lunch time Matthew started out in his highchair and then said no he wanted the big boy chair and table like Owen. So he and Owen did very well eating their lunch at the big table! Owen always tried to teach Matthew how to correctly say words more clear like "Cheese" and "Apple" They were cute to watch. Oh and one of the best parts was Owen was into playing ball with Abby, but Abby was called Max multiple times :) So I guess Abby's nickname is Max to Owen ha. Again below are a few favorites and then the full slideshow...

Aunt Kendra's Quick Visit

Kendra came in on a red-eye on Saturday which we took her with us to the UVA vs VT Basketball game where Kendra and Matthew made the Hoo Vision Jumbo Screen :) First time we have ever been on there! Then I had some JL Volunteering to do that evening so Kendra hung out with Ryan. Sunday we went to Church with Aunt Kendra and then, Bodos. After our full bellies we headed to BabiesRus/ToysRus where Aunt Kendra bought gifts for Lily and Matthew. Matthew enjoyed his time finding every ball and book in the toy store. Then we went back for naps and dinner near the airport before our sad "see you later" to Kendra. Here are a few favorites and full slide show to follow...
