Matthew's First Birthday!

Poor Puddin!

We had an adventure on Saturday afternoon! Matthew is doing a great job learning to walk, but he is still very wobbly! He was walking in the den with a toy in his hand and fell! We thought he smashed his hand and when I scooped him up to comfort him, blood was gushing out of his mouth! I darted to the kitchen and we got him cleaned up a little and discovered that he had a cut right about his lip and he was bleeding in his mouth too! He didn't bleed too long, but the cut on the outside seemed to be gapping open a little so off to the ER we went! He was a good sport! The doctor agreed that he needed a stitch so that's what he got! He was OK being swaddled and held down, but lost it when they covered his face with the sterile field sheet! It only took a minute and then I had him back in my arms. Rod and I made it through with only minor trauma! Here is a picture of when we got home!


Taylor had a "Old fashioned" sleepover as she called it! It was a fun group of girls and 2 of the guys came to hang out for a while Friday afternoon. Of course they were up all night and I think Rod heard them last at 4 AM! It was great when I went to get them up and there were 5 girls in Taylor's queen size bed! I am so sorry I didn't take a picture! It was classic!
No, the boys did NOT spend the night :)
