A few words

9/19/2008

Well today is my 24th birthday. It's probably one of the most relaxing birthdays. Matthew let me sleep in until 9:45am. Then my mom, Matthew and I went to Buca di Beppo. If you've never been there you should go. It was really tasty and it was nice to spend time with two of my favorite people. My sister-in-law, Crystal sent me a ton of birthday wishes. Then my old clients who are now close friends of mine called and the whole family sang Happy Birthday over then phone to me. It was very sweet. My mom got me a birthday cake for Matt and I to celebrate later and she also got me a coupon organizer. Which I needed very badly. I left my old one in the car and it melted :) oops. Matt has been working so hard lately. It's like this every year around my birthday. It always lands on move in at OSU so he works a lot this week and even works this weekend. Anyways I had no plans for this birthday but it turned out to be a nice one.

Matthew has started usinghis walker as you could see in some photos. He loves it. He didn't use it that often because he was still to short. He still doesn't run every where but he can walk around the kitchen at least. He is also getting some more teeth. They are poking out the gum on the right side of his mouth. He plays with his teeth all the time. He's also learned to say ma ma. Which he says all the time especially in the morning. He is eating well and has started on apple sauce today. His hair is also getting full. It's mostly blonde but he has some strawberry blonde in the back. Recently I have been taking photos with just me and him. I have realized that he has my nose and eyes. There is a pic of us and you can see our eyes are alike and the picture on my phone shows how similar our noses are.

Due to the hurricane my brother, Eddie, has been delayed in coming up. He is scheduled to come next Saturday. I am looking forward to seeing him and just hanging out. I know Matt is looking forward to playing video games with him.

I have been taking pictures like crazy lately so check out all the new pics. Matthew got to see his Great Grandma Anglim this week and his Nana so I took pictures. They are so cute :)

I hope everyone has a good weekend.

Birthday update- After Matthew went to bed I relaxed on the couch and watched a movie. Then just as Matt was about to sing Happy Birthday my brother, Bobby, and his wife,Carolina, called to sing to me. So they all sang to me then I blew out 24 candles. Now Matt and I are spending the rest of the night hanging out. So overall it was a great birthday thanks to my family and friends. Thanks everyone. You are all very special to me and I love you guys :)
