In the same vein as the last month's update - this is probably going to be a pretty short post. We're nearly through the worst part of the tax season...but there's still a week or so to go before we get free from that particular beast.
Update for Matthew
The little guy has really started moving on his own, both with crawling and 'walking' (with his walker/anything else that is about knee level in the house). He's basically all but mastered the turning of the walker, and really can get just about anywhere that we don't want him to. This past weekend we finally had to put up a gate to cut off access to the mystical stairs which hold a good level of his fascination (and when we're downstairs, we're having to constantly 'help' him to steer clear of trying to climb them.
In other aspects, he's quickly becoming more and more interested in playing independently (which we're not all that disappointed with, to be honest) and exploring the areas of the house that are opening up to him as he becomes more confident in his ability to move around.
Update for Anna
While we're getting close, we're still in the thick of the dreaded tax season. Anna is doing amazing with balancing being a mom and the demands of work - although she will probably be to busy to actually acknowledge anything other than the details that require her immediate attention currently. Lots of weekends with Matthew and I playing while she helps out at the office and keeps everything and everyone above water.
Update for Jay
Work has been a steady rate of a blur of activity for the most part. Between the new projects that our team is being pulled into for assistance/advice, the maintenance of our live system, and the design of the new phases that we're getting ready to either roll into production or implementation for a later deployment this year...I'm not sure sometimes if we'd still be able to walk around at the end of the workday without the coffee that we imbibe. But it's still an amazing process to be a part of - the growth is undeniable to anyone who looks at the situation we're in and it's exciting to be a part of such a vibrant environment. Stressful sometimes, but exciting none-the-less.
As is usual, I want to let anyone who is passing through our area to know that we'd love to see you - so please don't hesitate to shoot us an email, text, or call Anna or I.
