The latest excitement in the Matter house (besides Jay's new job) is that Declan can walk! He's been working on it for months, diligently pushing anything on wheels, but finally on May 30th, he took his first independent steps! On June 1st, he really took off and hasn't looked back! Theo is very encouraging, and Declan still gets a proud smile and giggles as he walks around the room. He is just a few days from being 16 months old, so he learned to walk at about the same age Theo did. (Theo was actually a few weeks earlier, but he had a Frankenstein walk for awhile before he walked normally.)
We don't have a lot of photos from April... maybe due to the cold temperatures... we spent a lot of time inside, and continued with our regular activities of Music Together and gymnastics. Jay also started his new job towards the end of the month, so we've taken the kids over to the pool a few times, which is a great option to have since the weather hasn't warmed up too much.
In May (my favorite month!), we celebrated my birthday and Mother's Day!
I'm also posting a few photos and videos from the beginning of June to showcase Declan's new skill!
On to summertime!
