We have had a very unusually warm winter. We got our 2nd SNOW for the winter yesterday and most of it is already melted. That mentioned we had several days in January where we could go outside in jacket weather.

Since it was so nice on January 30 I took Matt to swing. He loves to swing...just like his mommy :)


He has 6 teeth now. He had 4 of his top teeth come in within the same week. They aren't completely in yet, but they're close.

Matt turned 1 in the first week of February. We had some of Mark's family come over to celebrate and Matt was kind of unsure what to do with all the people around. We recorded his birthday celebration with the cake and such. Before the end of the birthday song he was putting his head down on his high chair and after we blew out the candle and people started clapping he started crying. Mark had to get him out of his high chair to calm him down and finally convince him to try some cake. Once he tried the cake he really liked it. (I tried posting the video but it took forever to upload and then it wouldn't allow me to view it...maybe I'll try fighting with it another time to see if I can get it posted)

We decided to celebrate his birthday again with just the 3 of us on his actual birthday so I could get some pictures of him actually being happy instead of scared.
