happy birthday, matson!

wow! we can't believe our matson baby has turned one year old.

he's hardly a baby anymore. :( but, i'm taking a stance. he's not a toddler until he starts walking. he will remain my baby until then. :)

{this is still one of my most favorite shots of my baby boy.}

at one year old he's into climbing, balls, balloons, climbing, splashing, laughing, climbing, banging, crawling, opening cabinets, climbing, waving, spilling, throwing, and climbing. you can obviously tell what he does the most. and he's good at getting down too. i didn't teach him how to get down feet first, he just started doing it at the baby pool one day. grandma, did you teach him that? he does it to get off everything. it's great. poor guy, on his first birthday he got his first busted lip, but not from falling. he dropped a toy on his face during a diaper change. :( he says hi, bye and dad and waves at the appropriate times.




he goes to the doc on tuesday, so i'll be sure to report back on his stats.





happy birthday, my baby boy! i want to eat you!
