Matthew is turning into quite an adventurer around the house. He's getting into more and more, especially the baby wipes and DVD basket, and loves to dump out baskets... toy baskets, laundry baskets, garbage baskets... He dashes to the bathroom whenever the door is left open and unfortunately has discovered the toilet (sigh). The other day I heard him making his way into the kitchen and heard some pans crashing around. Maria, my little reporter, made sure to tell me that Matthew was getting into things in the kitchen and sure enough, he had opened the bottom oven drawer that stores some baking sheets. I love it how he's discovering his surroundings and causing a little bit of trouble at the same time. Sounds just like every other one year old ;-)

We had Matthew's annual EI review on Monday. Everything went really well! We're going to continue with the services he receives now- PTx2, STx2, and OTx1 and it was great to hear about the progress he had made. I really like our team, they're very positive and encouraging and Mathew is comfortable with them all. With the school year coming to a close it will be nice to have more relaxed weeks at home, with therapy sessions scattered throughout the late morning/early afternoons.
I finally took him in for his 12 month bloodwork (CBC, thyroid, and a couple other checks). He was a touch guy at the lab and did well for the blood draws. His pediatrician called me yesterday saying that everything looked great, aside from his iron being a little low. This is common around this age for our kids though so I wasn't surprised. Poor kid had a rough week, waking up more at night crying and had a slight fever, most likely teething related since I noticed a couple of ridges in his bottom gumline today.
