Young Frankenstein

Matt started walking more over the past few days, but tonight he had a night of firsts! He walked across his room for the first time and even learned to stand up on his own! I couldn't believe I caught some of these firsts on video! He's a little unsteady and at times looks like he's having an 80's, running man flashback, but he's definitely walking! I don't think there's any stopping him now. Here you go, our Young Frankenstein!

Our tired little walker

More walking & standing up (and falling down to rest)!

Walking the train!

Matt's new favorite thing to do is walking his train up and down the hallway. He just doesn't stop unless we distract him with something else. We thought he would wear himself out, but NO, he just keeps going! He's like the Energizer bunny with that train!

Although he hasn't admitted to walking yet, he will stop with his train when he runs into an obstacle, pick it up, and move it over the obstacle. I guess he doesn't realize he's actually standing up to do all of this. Someday he'll realize it and we won't be able to catch him!

First Steps!!!

This weekend, Matt took his first steps! He started with about 3 to get to me and then about 5 to get to Nick. It was very exciting for all of us! Matt stands so proudly after letting go of whatever stable surface he pulled up on. It's so much fun!

Here he is on camera taking some of his first steps!

He'll be running around before long! YIKES!

Matt's Many Talents

Matt love his playtime up in the loft. He now has tunnels and a tent to go in and out of, as well as a car to use to walk up and down the hall. He also loves playing ball with his daddy. He practices his many talents every day. Here are some videos to catch you up on Matt's latest adventures.

He also likes to play the horn.

But his new favorite thing to do these days is play with his gorilla, Julio.
