Fun with Grandma and Grandpa

Mateus got to spend a fun filled weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Tingley last weekend.  He has taken to referring to them as "Gaga" and readily called their name throughout their visit (as well as after they left).

                                                         New books for Valentine's Day!

                                                          Fun at the Children's Museum

                                                            Loved digging in the rocks

                                               His favorite game of stealing Grandpa's glasses

Mateus recently decided that he no longer wants to sit in his highchair (he straightens his legs and refuses to sit).  Luckily his highchair transitions to a little toddler table where he now eats his meals and snacks (and gets up in between bites to get a ball, chase Nala, push his car).  Mealtime just became even that more challenging!

Winter, Winter Go Away.....

So I have reached that point (as I'm sure many others have as well) where I am over winter!  Mateus on the other hand, has not seemed fazed by the cold winter and even got to go sleigh riding for the first time last weekend...

                                              Really Mom- Is all of this clothing necessary????

                                                              Loving his new sled

                                                      Such a great "daddy" moment
If only he could dress himself to gear up to go outside...I feel like I have run a marathon some mornings after trying to get him layered...and forget gloves- they are off before we reach the car.  I have decided that that is not a battle I have energy for in the mornings anymore.  Winter clothes war:  Mateus: 1, Mommy: 0
