Meet the Buntons: October Update

October has been a good month for us so far... except Matthew and I have been sick with a cold. There was a sick baby at church who sat in front of us and what do you know, two days later, we got sick. Matthew suffered more than I did though. Poor baby. He could not sleep through the night and I only got to sleep one hour the first night we were sick. Sean stayed home from work so I could rest a little. What a sweet husband I have. That night Matthew seemed to be doing better but the next day, it got worse for him because he wouldn't stop crying all day. It was pretty hard. I lost 3 lbs just trying to take care of him and make him stop crying! After leaving our humidifier on all day yesterday and today, both Matthew and I are feeling much better.

Anyway, I wanted to share some pictures of the family. We haven't done anything too exciting but Matthew is growing fast as you can see in the pictures. He's pretty tall for his age. He is starting to understand a lot of words all of sudden. When I say things, he reacts and understands. For example, when I give him trash and tell him to throw it away in garbage, he takes it to the garbage and throws it away. His favorite activity is to throw away his poopy diapers in his diaper champ in the bathroom. He gets upset when I forget to let him do it. I'm totally fine with it. I love it when he does little chores like that. I think he might be ready for some potty training as well because he doesn't really like his diapers anymore and he tries to undo it whenever I'm not looking. I checked out a potty training book so we'll see. He also understands "prayer", "close your eyes", "fold your arms", "blink your eyes", "can you bring me the remote", "TV", etc. He loves singing! I sing him to sleep for his naps and night sleep. He loves it. He started doing the hand motions to the itzy bitzy spider song. It's so darn cute! I will have to tape it and post it on here soon.

Sean and Matthew

I don't know where he picked it up but whenever he hears a loud noise, he plugs his ears with his index fingers. It's hilarious.

Sean has been losing some weight and I think he looks great! He goes to early morning spinning class twice a week, plus some intense workouts in the evening. Good job, Sean!

Swinging is Matt's favorite!

Cute!!

One morning, I babysat my college friend's little girl. She and Matthew got along pretty good.

That shirt was way too small for him... The thing is, he still fits into his newborn outfits, not the lengthwise, though. We really need to get some more clothes for Matthw.
