Bubbly Baths Are a Blast

Mattox has always loved to take a bath and play in the water but it has reached a new level!! We started taking bubble baths!! He loves it! It is so sweet to watch him play in the bubbles!














Skipping rocks lesson

Mattox thought it was so cool that we had puddles outside after ALL the RAIN! He decided to throw rocks in them so daddy gave rock skipping lessons well maybe not "skipping" lessons but... treasured memories. I bet you can pick out my favorite 2 photos. Aren't they precious. He a TRUE Daddy's boy.














Mommy rides the trike

It finally stopped raining and we could go outside! Mattox wanted me to push him on his tricycle. It wasn't long before he came up with a new plan! He hopped off and said "momma, sit!" and patted the seat. Well I couldn't fit on it facing forward so I sat down backwards. Then he decided he would push me! It was great until I ended up in the azalea bushes!!














Matty and Daddy romping 'round in pj's

Giddy-up daddy!! Your the best horse around!! Riding on daddy's back is Mattox's favorite playtime activities.









Daddy... betcha can't catch me!!!!!!!!!!!

























Will it ever stop raining!?!? Mattox got a bottle of red cookie sprinkles and sprinkled the kitchen floor with them!! He then preceded to laugh while he danced, jumped and slid around in them! I think our kitty buth has the right idea!









More Rainy Day Painting

Mattox loves to paint and as you will see it sooo funny and soooo messy. He doesn't stay on the paper. He wants to paint EVERYTHING around him too!! We just paint in a diaper for now. After painting, it is straight to the bubbly bath! I am working on teaching him colors so I had him paint a page for red, yellow, blue and green and I'm going to make a little book. We'll see if it helps!

We have been having some beautiful weather!! Yes!! It's finally spring and Mattox wants to be outside (or in Mattox lingo ''Iside'') all the time. We've been having so much fun! Mattox found our old washtub and turned it into a drum. At first he rolled/pushed/pulled it around, climbed in and out of it and used his hands to pound out his beats. He has since evolved to using sticks he finds in the yard as drumsticks. It is amazing to watch! He really has an ear for music. He also loves to play in the sand. He will dig in it, fill buckets but his favorite thing to do is to throw it into the air. :0
