Matthew 59 weeks

Matthew is getting more naughty everyday. He loves to rummage through the kitchen drawers and cupboards and pull everything out. He also loves anything with buttons and will press them 'on' and 'off' and 'on' and 'off' and 'on' and 'off' and 'on' and 'off' and 'on' and 'off' .... well you get the picture.

He's officially down to one sleep a day now, napping usually around 11am and will sleep for anywhere between 1.5 - 3 hours. Lunch plans are normally placed on hold until the little emperor wakes. This week he's also learnt to shake his head from side to side (as if to indicate 'No') and I thought him how to hail a taxi yesterday :)

Over the last few days Matthew has grown attached to a white teddy bear and we have great fun doing a little role playing with Teddy. We've been showing Matthew how Teddy likes to lie down in the cot and go to sleep. Last night Matthew did as he was told and laid down and place his arm around Teddy and went to sleep. So sweet!

This past weekend was all about trying to get a little time to relax for a change. Saturday was family time at home and a little shopping and a late lunch afterward.

On Sunday morning we were invited to a party that was hosted by the parents of one of Matthew's friends from his play gym. Left is a picture of Matthew having fun on the slide. After the party was lunch with friends, who were also kind enough to help us do a little car shopping. We hope to sort out the logistics of getting a car and start driving sometime this month so we can do a little more exploring!
