Our little Indian

Matteo is learing new things all the time. He's crawling on all four now, but still resorts to the army crawl. He can get himself out of the exersaucer, much to mom & dad's surprise, and quick reactions, and he is taking cues from us!!

Yesterday, Matteo learned to be a little indian!! Too cute!

What an Easter..

So I'm posting this a week after it actually happened. We're over it, and things are fine, but it was quite an Easter.

I don't want to hype it up too much, because truthfully it wasn't THAT big of a deal, but enough of it...here is what happened.

It all started the Wednesday before Easter when Matteo went in for his 9 month well visit. He was great and only got one shot, his hep B. Well, I'm not sure it that caused it, or what, but the next morning he woke up and had then sniffles. No biggie, we've been dealing with that for months!

Fast forward to Saturday night. Matteo was kind of wheezing. Not a good thing with you're a baby. Sean and I talked about it, and after about 20 minutes in the bathroom with the shower running, we decided to see how he was doing in the morning.

Sean got him up the next morning, Easter morning, and he was worse. You could actually hear his entire breath. So, after a quick visit from Paramedic Grandpa, we pack up our baby and took him to the ER. He was great the entire visit, charming the nurses and sucking down his breathing treatments like a pro!

After 2 breathing treatments and a hilarious chest X-ray (you should have seen how they positioned him...too cute and no tears!) they diagnosed hime with Bronchitis. Poor babe!!

He's doing much better now, no wheezing, and coughing all that stuff up...but....What an Easter!

Quick Update

Just wanted to post a quick update...

Matteo is almost 9 months now...9 months...can you believe it!! Time really does fly by! He cut his SIXTH tooth this past weekend. That makes 5 teeth since Dec. 28th. He's still a trooper.
He's attempting to "really" crawl. He'll actually takes a few "steps" when he's on hardwood, but doesn't bother with it on carpet, and resorts to his army crawl. He can pull himself up on things now, specifically the coffee table. He has no problem taking a few steps to scale the length of it either, which, of course has led to a few falls. He actually had his first bloody lip the other day. He knocked it as he was falling down. He also knocked himself pretty hard on the head yesterday. Poor baby!!

Sean and I have decided that we weren't taking enough pictures of him, so there has been a surge of flash bulbs going off anytime he does something cute. Here's a few...

That didn't take long

So, a mere matter of hours after I posted about Matteo's Mama, he started saying Dada! Sean is so proud!

I'm a ma ma ma ma...

He did it. Matteo said his first word! He's been saying ba ba ba ba for the last few days, but we're not counting that. But on Saturday, his ba ba ba's turned into ma ma ma's!!! It's so cute! The video on here doesn't really do it justice, because he says it a lot clearer and more often, but you'll get the idea.

I feel kind of bad, because typically, da da is supposed to be the first word, and I think Sean was really looking forward to him saying it first. But, I have been saying ma ma ma to him for days, so I think that's where ma ma came from.

I'm sure tomorrow, when it's Matteo and Daddy day again, da da da will definetly be heard around the house, at least from Sean!!
