Big changes going on at the Matson house

Our summer has absolutely flown by! In a matter of what seemed like a blink of an eye but was actually months and months, we decided to sell our house, found a fantastic realtor, put our house on the market, made some updates, sold it and bought a new one. Whew! We close on both mid November!

We (I think especially me) are thrilled that we will have our bedrooms on the same level. Currently, we are not on the same level as Ben and I have wicked nightmares about being one of those stories of the 3 year old who wondered out of the house in the middle of the night in 20 below weather. Or him taking a bad spill down the stairs trying to get to us.

Aside from all of that we had great summer! Here are some of my faves

Now onto what's new with Benjamin.

Benjamin is saying "Hi", "Bye", "yum-yum" (that's for food), "Daaaa" (for Daddy)

He signs more, please, up and all done.

When asked what a dog says, he says "woofwoof" in a super high pitched voice - I bet you can guess that our dog is little.

When asked what a lion says, he says "roar" with a raspy little voice! Love it!!

He loves to push things. He especially likes his lego wagon that holds everything but the legos it came with. It's fun to watch as he "shops" around Grandma's house. He is forever picking up new items, taking out the items he no longer wants. We have learned that if the remote or sippy cup are missing....check there! He is mastering climbing on the couches. Learning to stack blocks and putting together the big legos. He is infatuated with books. Which I love! We have introduced him to match box cars, they are still a little to small for him but he likes to carry them around.
