I can hardly believe that this little man has grown so much in one year into.....
this "Fuzzy Man-Cub"
For Matthias' first birthday we did a jungle themed party for two reasons: One of his many nicknames has been "Man-Cub" from Disney's The Jungle Book and his nursery was done all in jungle prints so he has always been our little wild animal!
Because my niece Anna's birthday is just 5 days after Matthias', we did a joint party. Anna requested a giraffe cake to go along with the jungle theme and Rachael out-did herself with this beautiful and delicious creation! The bottom layer was Anna's giraffe print and the top was Matthias' monkey-man, jungle design.
She even did their names to match their designs and wrote them so that from each side you could only see one name. Very clever!
Matthias is a loving, happy, busy little 1 year old! He loves to give hugs and kisses. He is "talking" all the time but not actually saying many words yet. We are pretty sure there has been a "hi" and "Mama" in the mix of chatter. He is a speedy crawler and cruises around but hasn't tried any independent steps yet
.
His favorite toys are anything his sisters have that he shouldn't have!
Of his own toys, he likes trucks, cars and trains.
Matthias is a good napper and night time sleeper. He likes to sleep with his little green froggy blanket and a nuk (a habit I am wishing I had already broken!) .
He LOVES to eat and eat and eat! We rarely feed him something that he doesn't gobble down!
As with the girls he has many nicknames: Man-Cub, Fuzzy (given to him by Ava when she couldn't say Matthias, she said "MuFuzzie") Boy-Child... and more then we ever even realize we're saying! :)
I always say that Matthias is the perfection exclamation point at the end of our family.
He has forever been a very easy going baby and continues to be an easy-going,
but busy "almost" toddler.
