The Face of Satisfaction

Mathias is always pretty satisfied after getting a yummy treat like an Oreo. He gets even more excited at the prospect of playing in the water while he gets hosed down.

Mathias loves the water and plays in it every chance he gets. Last night we had a good sized thunderstorm and it was raining pretty hard. Brian took Mathias out on the deck so he could see the rain. There was a trickle of water falling right in front of Mathias and he was having a ball kicking the stream of water and getting drenched in the process.

Standing Up!

Not long after he started crawling, Mathias started pulling himself up on furniture. He is starting to 'cruise' along the couch and is almost always on his tip toes.

Look Who's Crawling!

Mathias started crawling a few days ago. As you can see, he is pretty happy about it.

Trouble

Mathias is such a busy kid. He tries to climb on anything he can. I caught him trying to climb up on the book shelf. He thought it was pretty funny.

Distracted Eater

Mathias gets so distracted when he eats making it difficult to feed him. On Sunday he would not turn around for anything. He sat like this for about 10 minutes trying to see what was going on behind him. The only logical thing to do was take his picture. :)

Swimming with Cousins

Check out my mohawk!

We went to Idaho Falls, ID the weekend following the 4th of July and had a lot of fun playing with my family. The whole family was there, 13 kids and 10 adults. These pictures were taken at my sister Amy's backyard pool. Mathias loves being in the water and watch the other kids play.

Extra! Extra!

Mathias is getting into everything! He is army crawling now but is working on getting onto his hands and knees. He gets into everything he can and tries to climb when he can get away with it. When I was taking these pictures he was too tempted by my flowers not to try and pull them out of the pot. I think the look on his face says it all.

Let's Go Swimming!

Mathias enjoyed going to the pool and playing in the water. I forgot to take the camera but I'll try to remember next time.
