The Saldana Zoo

We are SO happy to have Gilbert home. Matthew was a completely different child Saturday when he realized that Daddy was back. It was amazing. All he wanted to do was make Daddy laugh, climb all over him, and just be next to him.

My son is getting so good at sharing that he decided to share his cold with his already tired and pregnant Mommy. It's been fun.

I am seriously considering making the blog private. I can track who views the site and I've noticed that I'm getting a lot of hits from people searching for photos on Google and seeing as I do post some details on us here, I'm thinking I may make it private. If I do decide to, I'll be asking for your email address if you'd want to keep up with the site. Just a heads up.

He's finally beginning to understand what the big deal with his Star Wars tent is...



The weather here has been amazing the last few days. Our nights are in the 50's and our days have been in the 70's. We're loving it. That also means Matthew is getting to wear his winter pj's now.





And sweatshirts!



Gilbert took us out on Saturday just for some fun family time. After hitting up the outlet mall we stopped at Jimmy John's for lunch. It was good. Anyway, so Matthew has gotten in this bad habit of begging food off of me. It doesn't matter if his tummy is about to burst because he just ate a large meal of his own... he sees food in my hands and FREAKS until I give him some. This time around he hadn't just eaten but it was nowhere near meal time for him. Well he saw my sandwich and pretty much just whined until we gave him something. So he got his own sandwich roll...







And then he was happy...



So, Sundays are always rough for Matthew and he has decided he's against napping at church... yesterday, however, Daddy managed to get Matthew good and drowsy in his stroller and this is what we got to see... along with some snoring =)



It was so cold this morning that I decided to bring out one of Matthew's new winter shirts. We got this for him with the gift card that Uncle Brian and Auntie Rachel gave him for his birthday. If his jeans were ripped he'd fit right in in Pearl Jam.





Well, on Friday we're finally going to have Matthew's one year pictures taken. It's taken this long because the hurricane threw off everyone's schedules and we're finally getting a chance to get together with Kelly and Marianne to do the shoot. I also wanted to add that Marianne finally posted some of our maternity photos on their photography blog. I know, it's been a year since they were taken but they're definitely worth checking out. I'll also post the link when they post a sneak peak of Matthew's photos. Go check out the maternity photos!

Doctor's appointment on Friday, too. We'll get to hear the heartbeat and schedule our next ultrasound!
