Derek and David Love each other

This is teh best pic, David was so worried he was over dressed but I kept telling him that I bet Derek would be wearing a buttom up shirt and jeans too and well, clearly I was right....

Xmas 2008

I have to say Matteos first christmas was great. He was so excited about the new stuff he got, the pictures say it all.

Daddy, Nathanial and Matteo

This was Matteo getting excited about his first pinecone... We saved it and are making it a xmas ornament.

This face says it all, he loved the car!

Thanksgiving 2008

Sorry for the picture quality for some of these. I dropped our camera so this is what I have from my camera phone until I get the rest from our family.

We had 26 people over to our place so these pics capture the craziness of the day that turned out to be so much fun! Then, we have a group shot of just a few of the kids and then Matteo feeding himself for the first time.

Check back soon for more pics

Matteo walks - 9 months old

At 9 months and 2 weeks our little man started walking.

You could see his frustration with trying to get places (so he could put things in his mouth) so we were figuring by 10-11 months but didn't expect it to happen so quickly. He really just went from a few steps to full out walking in a weekend.

Then once he got that down, a week later he had picked up something we didn’t want him to have and when David asked him for it, he turned around with out skipping a beat and was walking full force ahead in the opposite direction. It was hysterical.

Car shopping carts

Man Matteo clearly loves the car shopping carts. Just look at those smiles.

Cutest smile ever!

For some reason, I am never able to get this smile before he moves on camera so I had to video tape him. I just love this smile. He is such a ham.
