Matthew had his 18 month "birthday" yesterday! He is growing into such a big boy. He now will only eat if he is the one doing it, meaning he will not allow us to feed him with a fork or spoon and he loves drinking his milk out of a straw. He is surprisingly doing very well in the area of self feeding. He is getting better every day. Tonight we went to the mall to see Santa and at dinner he fed himself applesauce and macaroni and cheese. He only dropped one piece of macaroni. I don't think much misses his mouth.
Visiting Santa was a completely different story. Last year was a great experience, he could care less about who he was with. Tonight was different. He started getting restless waiting in line, we were the second people might I add. When it was time to get on Santa's lap, he did everything in his power to get off. He never cried though and once he was off, he was all smiles...little stinker! I should add though that he is weirdly afraid of every man with glasses, a beard and mustache, except Donny (Deah's husband), so we were pretty much preparing our self for this reaction. We have one more Christmas party to attend that will have a surprise visit by Santa himself, maybe that day will be different?
