We are not sure where Matthew got this but it was pretty funny. Glen happily pretended that Matthew's silly arm movement was scary which Matthew thought to be very amusing. I especially love his little waddle at the first. We don't know what that was either. Just Matthew being silly.

Some of Matthew's words
Sorry this is so long and repetitive. A lot of what Matthew says is probably only understood by his parents since we hear it a lot. We tried to get Matthew talking a little and as you can see he doesn't really like to just sit. Some of the ways he says things makes Glen and I laugh so hard. It's fun to see him learning and growing up. He is so fun and we love him so much!

MY NEW CHAIR!!
I have been so excited to get this chair. The great thing about it is that it is plain so we can have it in our living room someday if we want to. The only thing I don't like about it is that it looks splotchy and I didn't think the one in the store did. It's some sort of microfiber material. Glen thinks I am just being picky and I guess it really doesn't bother me that bad. There is a foot rest that comes up so it feels pretty reclined even though the back doesn't really go back. Someday we will get the ottoman that goes with it that glides like the chair does. It has been a lot of fun to read to Matthew in it and for me to just relax...super comfy!!
My cute little boy with his feet crossed. He used to sleep like this when he was younger and I always thought it was so cute

What we've been doing
Fun at the park over general conference weekend. The weather was great!
Having fun in nursery
Lately Matthew has loved playing in this little tent with Glen and I. He thinks it is so funny and wants to stay under the blanket for a long time.
Glen turned 25!!!Update
Sorry so long. Only read all of this if you are bored
1. Glen got a job for this summer working at the hospital. (details of what he will actually be
doing coming soon) It is only 5 weeks long so we will be able to go out west and visit family
for awhile in July. One week during that break we will be in Bear Lake boating and soaking
up the sun.
2. I am feeling much better these days......finally. I still get nauseous in the morning but at least
it is not all day and usually I can control it by eating something.
3. We are finding out what we are having on May 5th. Only 3 more weeks!!! I can't wait to find
out. I'm thinking it is a boy but who knows. I really don't have a preference. Having a boy
would save us a lot of money though. If we have a girl I am really going to have to be very
self controlled.
4. I am still trying to convince Glen to let me paint Matthew's room green. His poor room has
very few decorations and only has his bed and changing table in it. Soon we should be getting
a huge, comfy chair that I am so excited about.
5. Glen and I are staying busy with our callings in our ward. For those of you who don't know,
Glen is in the Young Men's presidency and I recently got called into the Primary presidency
which has been a lot of fun.
6. Glen has a test this Friday and next Monday and then only a few more weeks until school is
over. Wahoo!!
7. Matthew is so much fun these days but also very determined. Lately he really hates the
stroller, shopping cart, car seat, ect. This has made walking and shopping very difficult. He is
getting so big and I love him more and more everyday. Lately he loves balls, dogs, walking
outside, cooking, wrestling with his dad and rolling around on the floor. He always wants to
help with the cooking. I try to bring things on the floor and let him watch or let him help stir
things. He is starting to talk quite a bit which has been fun. He says quite a few words
although some are hard to understand or just part of words. His newest word is mole. He
pointed to Glen's face one day and I told him that was a mole and since then he finds every
mole on my face and tells me about it. It's pretty funny. Matthew is obsessed with garbage.
He will see it outside on garbage day and look out the window holding his nose which means
"stinky." Anytime he sees a garbage can or any garbage he grabs his nose. It's cute. Lately
he has been talking/singing before he falls asleep for 15 minutes, sometimes less,
sometimes more. It cracks me up that he will do that for so long, just happy to be in his
crib.
8. Glen turned 25 on April 10th.
9. Matthew went to nursery last Sunday. Glen was going to go in with him and only stay half the time but he ended up leaving him there the whole time and it sounded like he did great. He really isn't supposed to go in until May so Glen cheated a little. I told Glen we should probably wait until May. I think he is pretty excited for Matthew to go since he has been the one taking him the last two hours of church because I am in the primary. Matthew is kind of quiet around other kids and people sometimes which is funny because he is usually very loud and active at home and once he gets to know people. He is a very happy and social boy.
10. I have finally begun to catch up on my scrapbook. I have a LOT to do.
11. Now that I am feeling a lot better I am going to start exercising more again which I really need to do. I go to walking group twice a week but I am going to start taking Matthew to the day care at the YMCA where I can workout. Yeah, I'm excited to get going again. It makes me feel a lot better.
That's about it!

More of Matthew
Big boy
Matthew loves not having clothes on. He will sometimes start pulling down his pants and come to me to help him take them off. He also really likes this hat which is Glen's. He also still loves his blue blanket from Grandma Susy. He will not come out of his crib in the morning unless we bring his blanket along. It's very cute.
