This is a test post from my blackberry

Matts almost a year ....

It is amzing hw much someone can change in a year especially when they are still an infant.
They start out not doing much of anything well not really .... They sleep, eat and go to the bathroom.  Then they learn to interact with you by giggling and smiling at anything and everything.
By the time they are one well at least from my experience alot has changed here is what mattis is doing
He enjoys all food he loves to laugh and make silly faces.
He loves to interact with people and his toys people are of more interest though.

A few weeks ago at the mall he decided to offer an young girl (teenager) his french fry and when she ignored him he got all bent of shape.

Anyway back to the changes he now speaks several words in English and French
Here are the ones I can remebmer
encore (means more in French)
hat
mama
papa
nana
matt --- from time to time
yum --- when he wants more food a boy he loves food
ball
apple

He also loves to mimic what we do or others
and of course mummy and daddy are a chew to from time to time.

He has five teeth and is thinking about walking.
He loves water

What else has he done his adventures are numerous at his young age that is for sure where to start.
Quebec City several times
Several Plane Rides
Multiple car rides that is for sure
Boat rides
camping in a trailer not a tent
A sleep in a hotel after we got off the highway on the way back from Quebec at christmas in a storm

He just enjoys life and has had many adventures

Sleepey Little Guy ...

After a long day of helping daddy with house work chasing the Vaccuum and then a little fresh air this afternoon cleaning the garden

And a bit of packing our little Mattis Man feel asleep in his high chair with his bottle

The joy of Father hood

As the little guy grows he gets more personality everyday and brings a smile to my face with all the silly things he does.


From playing with his spoon to cocking his head. The smallest things in life he finds amazing from a new sound to the remote control.
 
I find it interesting how simple things can be so fascinating the things we take for granted he is learning and seeing for the first time in life.
 
From the carpet to the bugs from the coffee cup from Tim Hortons to just about anything

The simplest things he finds funny

Another Weekend gone

Why do the weekends go by so quick that is the thing I can't figure out
We spend our lives working so we can have all the luxuries not that I am against it.
We work 5 days get 2 days off.  Spend more time at work then with our families.

At least I get to see the things Mattis does he is crawling all over now and yesterday drove the shopping cart.
Yes at Sobeys they have carts with steering wheels so the kids can think  they are in control.

I will try to psot a pic later of this just don't have the time this morning.

The end of Summer 2010

According the calendar it is not over but according to the measurements in my life it is.
The Paris Fair is over and so is the annual Burford Flea Market which is the weekend after labour day.

It has been a busy summer that is for sure many things happened.  We sold our House and in the process of building a new house which we will take possesion of in Mid November.  The excitement begins I have already been dealing with them on many issues and opportunities that are arising.

Anyway back to the end of the summer.  The flea market was a relative success for us we found a few bargains.  We found an old Antique Mirror no idea of the age.  The mirror will be going in to the Foyer of our new home.  We found a desk, a basketball net, and a slide for Mattis for the new house as well.  It is in storage at Mums until we move as we don't have the space in our current house.

Other things from the summer endless cleaning of the house so it would look spotless and the stripping out of items so the house looks bigger to help it sell.  We were not sure  if all our work would pay off but it did and the steps to the next Chapter in our life has begun.  The packing begins to pack up the contents of our old house and to move to the new house is just beginning.

Quebec City in a flying trip well for me anyway Mel and Mattis were there for 10 days me just a weekend.

Ah the summer of 2010 is over and it just a part of our memories but the memories are here to stay thank goodness for that.

Mattis Man and the new House

On the weekend we take Mattis up to the new house so that he could see his new digs.  even though we don't get possesion till November it was something we wanted to do so here are a few pics of the little guy outside the new house.
We can only get in with the site spervisor, since it is under construction.

We were at the building office on Monday signing the final ammendmant papers and Mattis was pounding on the map where his bedroom was.  I asked if he wanted the other room and he looked at me and pounded on the same room.  It is almost like he knows which room is going to be his
