An Update in Photos

Nana complained about the lack of pictures in my last post, so this one's for you, Nana!

Whenever Matteo learns to say a new word, he becomes obsessed with it.  His latest word/obsession is "boat!"  Good thing we drive past Fisherman's Terminal every day, and stopping for a quick fix is no problem.

Another new word is "neh-neh."  You are probably wondering to yourself what word that is.  Matteo calls animals by their sounds, and "neh-neh" is the sound a horsie makes, hence the other obsession, horsies.  He has taken a special liking to the mechanical horse down the street at the butcher shop and the merry-go-round at the zoo.  Don't dream of putting him on a horsie though.  He is happy to just observe.

We still frequent the zoo a few times a month.  Matteo especially likes the elephants ("what is it?"), penguins ("genaws!") and monkeys ("ooh-ooh-ah-ah!").

For over a year, Matteo has called fire trucks, "bus!"  We can't get him to switch over to "truck."  It was a special treat the other day when a fireman let Matteo sit in his "bus."

Can you see his little head popping up on the driver's side?

This peach kept Matteo entertained for a while at the Farmer's Market.  He was a sticky mess afterwards, but toddler silence is too golden to interrupt!

I love this shot of Matteo thinking.  He loves this boat at the zoo, and I caught him in his 2 seconds of non-wiggliness.

Baby Moses, aka fountain obsession.
