The Meyer Monkeys: Update...

So...

Matai is now 2 months. Wow.

He loves to eat (as you can see)...

Drools non-stop...

Smiles whenever you raise your eyebrows...

Laughed for the first time the day he turned 2 months (thanks Aunty Lia!)...

Coos, screams, cries, gurgles...

Looks mad most of the time (or maybe he's just in really deep thought, haha)...

Fits into 6 month outfits...

Enjoys making everyone hold him standing up (or else the mad-dog comes out)...

Makes mommy happy all day!
