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

Mateo talks like crazy now and can make complete sentences. He can also sing the Wheels on the Bus, Farmer in the Dell, Old MacDonald, Bah Bah Black Sheep, Twinkle Twinkle Little star and the Hokey Pokey.

Its hard to capture him in photos because he is always running. But here are some good recent ones.

How fun is ElfYourself?

I made this for the kids and it freaked them out! They were so excited.

Mateo’s first school photo! The photographer was great. A huge success!

Mateo really enjoys playing with toys. His favorites are small plastic animals. In this picture is his favorite horse.

He also loves taking care of his “baby”. He found some old bottles and ran over to feed one of Matilda’s dolls.

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.

Mateo looked less Asian than Matilda when he was born. I often thought that he strongly resembled Pablo’s side of the family. But right now, he looks JUST like my dad, down to the Army haircut! I have to stop dressing him in green.

I forgot what its like to have a toddler. Toddlers are explorers, escape artists and generally looking for trouble.

Mateo is exhibiting problem solving skills. Snacks are out of his reach? No problem!
