Troy and Mateo (5 months old)

We went over to David and Lucy's and took these pictures of the kids. Here is Mateo at 5 months old.

His personality is really starting to come out! This is also the first time we have watched him sitting up without assistance.




Troy had just come down with a cold that day - he was not feeling well at all, you can see it in his eyes. But he tried hard to be cheerful and full of energy while we were there. He even ate pretty well, which is good. He needs the energy to get better.

Trying to stay awake as long as he can...


Gone.



He really enjoys his walker now.

Troy misses the walker - it was his two years ago. When we had it in the storage room, Troy would shimmy his way through the junk (uh, stored items) to get to the walker so he could play with the bears.

Christmas Day / Mateo at 3 months

Christmas Day! Troy is 2 and Mateo is 3 months at this point in time, so it was a great year for opening presents.

Marcy is still hanging in there.

Troy immediately jumped on his new rocking spring horse as soon as he arrived. Well, new to him: this one is about 40 years old and still rides well. Giddeeyup!

Mateo was just soaking it all in...

Next year, Mateo, those limbs will work and you can participate more...

Troy insisted that Mateo ride the horse, too.

Distributing the gifts!

Even Captain America came by.

We also got Troy a second, bigger horse for him to grow into. Which he did within hours.

Naptime for Mateo.
