Mateo had a visit to the pediatrician today. He weighs 28lbs. And he is in the 97th percentile for height!

We recently bought him new shoes. He wears a size 8.5 (european size 25)! I wonder if he will be very tall when he grows up.

Its the day after labor day and the weather is already starting to cool. Mateo had an amazing summer. He took his first extended trip to Spain and he learned a few phrases. He is not as bilingual as Matilda was at the same age, but his English is better than Matilda’s was. His favorite phrase in Spanish is “no quiero” and in English he likes to say “want it”.

Mateo learned to love the beach and to eat jamon! His favorite playmate was cousin Marina who was the world’s best mother’s helper.

Now we are back and starting lots of new things. Mateo will start going to preschool part-time and will also start taking art and music classes. He is incredibly active, as you can imagine. Our furniture is getting destroyed.

Here is a great end of the summer picture of Mateo eating doughnuts with his sister.

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.

Friday afternoon we had a little party with a surprise visit from Clive and Julianna, and then Tina, Cory and Dalton came to play.

Saturday, we went to Central Park with some friends to enjoy the beautiful spring weather.

We enjoyed some music.

Lunch at the boathouse

And a nice stroll.

And on Sunday we got a visit from Aunt Margaret and Uncle Rob!

Mateo is such a big boy now. He is cutting his 11th tooth, he is super heavy, has started running and is very talkative. He has also started throwing tantrums. Here we go with toddler #2!
