Just chillin on the bed watching a little morning TV.

After a long day of work at play, cuddling up w/ his Auntie Tanji while she studies.

Mike and Tim had this wall all lined up and ready to be screwed together, but Matthew had a different plan.

On our way to Beaver!!

Getting warmed up by Grandma after spending a couple hours in Uncle Keith & Auntie G's pool.

We met daddy for lunch one evening.

Uncle Joel, Taylor, Casey and Magoo.

Christine, one of Matthew's nurses from Stanford. She took care of Matthew after both heart surgeries.

Matthew and Taylor bug. Taylor spent a few days with us. We all had a blast.

Matthew getting a buzz

It was haircut night at the Baxter's. Matthew got his first "buzz"... he did real good and Uncle Timmy did a great job! Mike cut his hairs that night, too!! Not only is Tim a MASTER with a chainsaw, he's the master of the hairclippers as well.

Buzzzzzzzz

He ran himself ragged ~ was so tired he fell asleep in tub while Mike was drying off.

Fun at the Beaver kiddie pool

Little Taylor was soo sweet to stay in the kiddie pool and play w/ Matthew.

Auntie Tanji taking him in for a dip.

Beaver

Taking a little nappie on the drive to Beaver.

His new friend Marketta giving him a spin on the ATV.

Here's a cute picture of Matthew in Beaver with our neighbors HEALTHY kids ....
as you can see, he's not interested in eating one bit. The other kids were attacking their Mickey Mouse waffles... Sitting him at the table w/ other kids while they eat is a good thing though...
Someday he'll catch on and see how good food is!

I've got some great pics of him at the Beaver "kiddie" pool. Tanji had the great idea of taking the kids swimming ~ Taylor was a real champ and hung out with Matthew in the pool. Now that it's June and past the RSV season, we can relax a little bit about him getting anything that would affect his respiratory system. It's so nice to actually get out of the house!!!

We've been a little behind on updating blog b/c we've been going to Beaver 3 days out of the week to work on the cabin. If you want to see some recent cabin pics, click here. Mike is really working his tail off between the cabin and his new position as Sergeant.

Birthday pics and more

Sorry it's a little dark... too much backlighting.

Still not interested in eating cake and ice cream....maybe next year!!!!!!!

We had a family brunch. Matthew's NICU nurse, Jenny stopped by for the celebration.

Little stinker trying to get out!

Matthew LOVING the pool that Erin, Christy and Shay (from Nevada Early Intervention)bought him for his birthday. Isn't that the cutest pool. You can hook up a hose to giraffe and water comes out his mouth.

Some fun pics over the past couple days

Wearing my glasses.

He's a big boy at the counter... he loves sitting there.

Knawing on some string cheese... still doesn't "eat" .. but it's a start. Gets all gooey.... yum.

Packed up and ready to go in one of his birthday gifts. The girls from NEIS bought him a pool and a hand basket filled w/ tools. He was loving it.
My sister couldn't resist picking up the little magpie!!
Uh yah!! He is ALL INTO throwing stuff in the toilets. I panic when I hear it flush, I go rushing in to be sure nothing is going down!!
