A super and a sitter

We have a superhero in our home. His name is Super Mateo as I like to call him. However if you talk to him he is Mateo. The cape is his favorite part. Mateo has a very strong knowledge of who he is and he is very quick to tell you who he is. What is funny about the whole thing though is if you ask him to do something and he doesn't want to do it, he'll either respond by saying I am Fireman Sam (or something else). When you say Fireman Sam will you go do this? He will respond with I AM MATEO (so somehow in his mind he doesn't have to do the task)! Or he will say Mom just a minute. (I think he has heard that a time or two from his mom).

Jacob has finally just started to sit. He really enjoys his new ability and is more content. So he is being left on the floor far more than usual. However when I leave the room he just starts crying uncontrollably. Jacob does that often or if Aaron is holding him and I am in the room he will just cry until I hold him. Also over conference weekend his two bottom teeth started coming in! He is enjoying biting things, especially his spoons when you feed him baby food.

We have had a great week! Aaron got home from Utah yesterday and we are glad to have him home. He enjoyed the trip and he was able to see all of our family in Utah.

I am most excited for his homecoming because Aaron is finishing our bathroom this week! We will post some pictures of the finished product soon.

Mateo can usually be found in one of his two SuperMan shirts.
