This past weekend we went to the nature center and watched the Raptor Release. It was nice to see these majestic birds released back into the wild. It was a pretty nice day for it, kind of cloudy and a little cool. We got to see 4 birds released back into the wild and we also got to look at some Eagles and Owls up close. Matthew didn't really seem to care at all about it this year but we think that in years to come he will really like to see all of the big birds.
I can't believe Matthew is almost 6 months old already, the time sure goes by fast. He is starting to try to figure out how to crawl. He can get up on his hands and knees but then he doesn't seem to know where to go from there yet so he usually ends up going backwards and getting stuck on some piece of furniture.
We made most of his baby food from scratch (not as hard or time consuming as I thought it would be) and he seems to enjoy every type of fruit and vegetable we have given him so far. He is eating peas, green beans, squash, sweet potatoes, peaches, pears, apples and bananas. He does a really good job eating and he has graduated to using his high chair. He holds his hands out to the side and opens his mouth when he is ready for another bite- I love spending this time with him, he seems so sophisticated and grown up. The other day I was eating a hamburger sitting by him and he kept opening his mouth when I would bring it to my mouth. I don't think he is ready for a hamburger yet though as he doesn't have any teeth yet.
I will update everyone again after Matthew's Dr. appointment on Tuesday.
