Matthew Benjamin... 20 months...

4 months to go and Matthew will be in his "terrible twos" which i don't feel anxious anymore because he's already in it!

he can now throw terrible tantrums. especially when hungry or sleepy or simply bored.

he is terribly defiant and always makes way on what he wants.

but he is also terribly funny, and cute, and loving, and smart.

Matthew now have a lot more words. despite always having a pacifier still in his mouth he can verbalize more. he now created a nickname for his big brother Sebastian. i was so surprised when he called him SHASHAN one day. and sometimes he would call him AYAYA(kuya).

his words right now may still be raw on someone else's ears but to me they are very clear. even if he have the same sound for heart (HA) and hot (HA) i know the difference. and he cracks me up when he tries to sing a favorite show jingle "hi-hi-hi HI-5", you will only hear "HA-HA-HA" from him but the tune is clear. he can even hum a bit of Veggie Tales jingle when he is holding Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber stuffed toys. but the most he loves is dancing and i can not help but to join him all the time!

he loves to stack up blocks and he can go as high as 5 or more. the good thing about him is he does not get easily frustrated even if the blocks would fall down. he just keeps on trying.

i love it when he embrace me so tight. both his arms around my neck and not letting go even in his sleep...

he adores his big brother and i am thankful for that. i pray that they will stick together and be best friends until they grow up.

i feel so blessed to have beautiful and smart boys. i could not ask for more...
