Each day he seems older. For instance, last Saturday at the park he was playing catch and all of a sudden he yelled, "I caught it". 3 words-How did this happen?!? He no longer is a baby and I'm saddened by his growing need for independence but excited for the world we're exploring together.
September and October have been filled with lots of volleyball and soccer games. We're so disappointed that the seasons are coming to a close. No doubt, Matty will love basketball season but for some reason that sport has never caught my interest. Thankfully Jason will happily take him to the home games.
Lately, I think what amazes me the most is how powerful his associations are. He remembers where he sees people or what they were doing when he saw them last. Then a few days or weeks will go by and we'll find ourselves out and about. All of a sudden Matty will shout out a name. Jason and I will look at each other, mildly amused, we know somehow there is a connection between what he sees and the name he just yelled. Typically it will take us a few minutes but we usually figure it out. Let's just say he keeps us on our toes.
September and October have been great thus far. We just had a visit from Jason's parents and brother, Joe, and Matty enjoyed entertaining them all weekend.
Thanks for your love,
The Steffenhagens
