Here are a few recent pictures of Mattea. There is not too much to announce in update news for her, as there are no recent Dr's appointments to get official measurements etc. We know she is super tall, and on our scale at home weighs over 33 lbs. She still loves doing crafts and games and playing imaginary games. Her recent facination is with plastic animals (you know the little dollar store kind??) she has a bucket of them and carries them from room to room narrating for them along the way!
Doing one of her favourite activities - finger painting! It took us many tries to get over the fact that it is SUPPOSED to be messy. She kept wanting me to clean off her fingers every time she got paint on them...which with FINGER paints meant she was pretty much missing the point of the exercise! Now that we are officially okay with the mess and that we will be cleaned up afterwards, she loves it!
She is a little TV bug, and although we limit how much she can watch, she has a very good memory and can recite to you all her favourite shows and movies. She also inherited her Daddy's ability to tune out anything and anyone while she is watching!
No, we were not purposely modelling for this shot - I'm not quite sure what she was doing, but I think it was a break from dancing around to her Christmas music! But this is a good picture to show just how tall she really is! She is in size 4 clothes and she is not even 2.5!
Enjoying the 1st snow flurries of the year - we were dressed for a blizzard, which is certainly was NOT, but she didn't seem to care that there were only about 10 snowflakes in the sky! - Mattea said "I yike dis snow, it wooks nice and sparkwey!"
Another small update is that she is now singing! She has been doing nursery rhyme style songs for a while now (like twinkle twinkle etc) but she is now doing worship music from church and memorized all of her sunday school Christmas songs within the first week of having the CD! Now we just have to work on getting her to sing it in front of other people!!! She really is a sponge though when it comes to music and memorizes the words to songs very quickly (almost after the first time hearing something!)

Other than her giant size, she sounds to me like Kenna at that age (whos main ambition now is to be on American Idol...watch out!). In another year or so, she and Kenna maybe able to share clothing!! What a sweetheart.
What a cutie!
