Catching up

As you can see from these pictures, we've been keeping busy with our lively little boy:

Mateo loves his maracas!
On more than one occasion, he has fallen asleep with them clutched in his hands.

Romping around in his towel after bath time while daddy gets his bed time diaper ready.

So much fun to be clean and naked.

We went strawberry picking last weekend with Jen at an organic farm in Portola Valley. The berries were small and sweet - perfect for Mateo!

Mateo had a great time crawling through the berry patch and quickly learned how to find, pick, and eat the strawberries...

...as well as the occasional handful of dirt.

Shaking his rattle while swinging at our neighborhood park.

Cuddling up with Daddy before his bath.

Checking out Daddy's goatee during his first ever bubble bath.

Charging towards the ocean at beautiful Natural Bridges beach in Santa Cruz, where we traveled yesterday with several members of Jesse's lab.

Watching the waves roll in and out with mommy.

The cold Pacific water didn't seem to bother Mateo. He loved getting splashed all over each time a wave rolled in.


And to close, a few cute shots of Mateo looking cool in sunglasses:
