Yep, that's right. We no longer have a baby in the house. Matty is a full blown toddler, and he is running all over the place to prove it!
The past month has been...tiring, to say the least. Matty and the daycare germs have become fast friends, which has sent us to the doctor several times....upper respiratory infection, strep throat, allergic reaction to amoxicillin, and most recently a double ear infection. My poor guy. He seemed to be feeling a TON better this morning, so hopefully we can put these illnesses behind us. I know his immune system is building up, but Matt and I are getting sick too! I guess that happens when you're holding a sick child and they insist on sneezing and coughing directly in your face.
I've been working at Paulding County Schools for a little over a month, and I LOVE it! Everyone is so nice and welcoming. A little TOO excited that I'm here, if you ask me, but I guess they're happy to have someone back in the Communications role. I thought I would miss producing, but to be honest, not nearly as much as I thought I would. I know...it shocked me too! In all honesty, I've become fairly removed from what's going on. My focus is on my little family.
It's been about two months now (really?!), but we did a family picture session in Columbia with my side of the family at the end of June. Paula Williamson (of Paula Williamson Photography) and I used to work together WAAAAY back when at WIS. She took the pictures and did an AMAZING job. I seriously have had trouble picking my favorites!
Here's just a sample:
She did amazing pictures of my sister's family as well, but I don't want to put too many pictures of her kids up without her permission! This is the internet after all!
I guess I should get to the always "star of the blog" -- my Matty :-)
He is doing awesome! We still have some tears at dropoff in the mornings, and for some reason, he cries when he sees Matt at the end of the day. But his teachers say he is pretty happy in between those two times, although with his various illnesses, he's been understandably fussy.
Without further delay...some pictures from the past two months.
Matty loves his ball pit...
And he LOVES his spaghetti.
For some reason, he loves putting on adult sized hats, but won't wear ones of his own.
What a cutie!
"Hello? Justice League of America? You need me?"
Matty in my old rocking chair
Love this face!
Did I mention he's reading?? :-)
Well, he's not really reading...yet! But he's trying!!
This guy is a BIG ball of energy, can you tell?
And one more video, well...just because I can. It's a glimpse into our daily life:
That's just a little update from the world we know as "Wooley's World."
Until next time...
