Play Dates

So, I'm way behind in posting and discussing Mattie's boyfriend Joshua. Joshua was born two days before Madeline and is such a cutie. I've decided we should "pre-arrange" their marriage, because we love Josh's parents who live two doors over from us. Mattie is "all about" the arrangement, however Josh is playing it safe, with good reason (details below).

Although we must credit my dad with putting the finishing touch on Mattie’s crawling enabling her to really start moving, Josh gets credit for encouraging her speed. Josh is an experienced crawler, and boy is he fast. At their last play date, Mattie showed she is not too young to chase the boys. She took off after speedy Josh!!

Josh is absolutely a sweet, calm, and precious child. He smiles all the time and has an adorable shy grin.  Did I mention he is calm…seriously; he will just sit and let anyone hold him and snuggles. I didn’t know babies did that. Now, except for precious, we would not use any of those words to describe Miss Mattie. She is super smiley, but she is incredibly hyper and rambunctious, never still, and not even close to shy at all.  Examples are below:

There is Josh’s adorable shy grin….as he just sits still ready for a ride. Notice Mattie is trying to escape her seatbelt already.


Too Adorable!  Sweet, calm, and happy to sit still…..

And then there is our child:


But, we sure think she is cute:

Now, Josh may have to step it up and start being a little more active in the relationship, or his big brother Carson, just may step in...



He shares Mattie’s more “aggressive and active” nature.


And we can’t forget Mattie’s other potential suitor (if she is so lucky): Hudson!!! Hudson is much younger than Mattie, but he makes up for it in size and cuteness. Hudson is almost half Mattie’s age and look at his size! He is going to be a hunk. Hudson's mom and dad are also super great and live in the neighborhood! Once again Mattie’s was all about getting some attention from Mr. Hudson, who was such a calm cutie (these pics are a bit old so both have grown a lot since then)!
