Maco

A little update on our seven  month old.  Maco, Kate's nickname for Matthew and what Jeff calls his Brazilian soccer name, is now an expert at sitting up and has two teeth!  He is starting to prefer standing on your lap rather than sitting-it gives the arms quite a workout, but he is a fun little boy.  He also said his first word...Mama...actually the first time it was "mamamama", but the next day, on Mama's birthday, he said just "Mama".  It was the best birthday present ever.  Although he has only said it a couple of times since then, I'm still claiming it-especially because Kate's first word was Dada!
