Mateo has his own very cool dancing style. Check it out.

Mateo is an amazing swimmer. He is a complete natural — unafraid to put his face in the water. He bravely would hold onto the side of the pool until he could do it and he basically taught himself to swim. Here is a video from the summer of his swimming.

I was starting to be concerned that Mateo had no musical talent… but then he did this!

Spring was awful. It was either cold or raining. We spent a lot of time inside reading books and watching his favorite shows like Dinosaur train, Yo Gabba Gabba and Team Umizumi. Here is a video of him reading from some books.

Summer is going great. Mateo has become a champion swimmer. He can swim under water already!

We are struggling through the “terrible twos”. Mateo is extremely stubborn and has to do things his way. Like his sister, he has to pick out his own clothes. His choice every single day is his bathing suit — he wears it to school every morning. Looks like this:

His diet has really deteriorated. His favorite meal used to be rice and broccoli. Now he eats only chips, cake and ice cream. Occasionally, we can get him to eat some meat, rice, pizza or pasta, but its rare.

I guess he is doing ok because he is growing and thriving. Here is a recent pic of him.

I posted some old videos of Mateo today. Here is one from when he first learned to walk.

We got almost 2 feet of snow! Mateo had a great time playing in the snow for the first time.

We got Mateo a superman costume for Halloween, but as you can see, he didn’t like it at all.

He did however, love Trick or Treating. He ran from house to house and held out his bucket to be filled with candy.

Here is a video of Halloween in our neighborhood. Our area appears the be THE place in town to go trick or treating. One house even had a band playing in their driveway.

Here are some old videos of Mateo.

Its exciting to see how Mateo’s personality develops. So far, he seems to be a bit of a clown. Here he is imitating his sister.

Matilda has stopped beating up her brother and all that energy has been replaced with affection. I love this video of Mateo trying to kiss Matilda.
