growing baby

Today was Mateo’s birthday. We started the day with a haircut, which was successful, and then went to a birthday party at Linda’s parents’ house — family only, and very nice. Mateo got a billion presents from everyone, and was even possibly overwhelmed by the amount of attention. With a lot of people, a lot of toys, a lot of food, and a lot of love, Mateo was having a supremely happy day.

We certainly don’t know anything really about raising a 1+ year old, and already notice Mateo get more assertive and require a lot more input and interaction than just carrying him around would provide. We are both super-proud to be Mateo’s parents, and are excited to be along on this journey with him.
