Our lives have been consumed by house projects for the past few weeks.  What with Brittney and Aykut moving into their new house, us getting our house ready to put on the market, and packing and getting ready to move into our new house (yay!)  We were over at Brittney's new place this afternoon to hang out and work on random things.  Matthew jumped at the chance to help Papa fix a leaky pipe under the kitchen sink. 

Papa really is so good at including Matthew in these types of projects.  He will explain what is wrong and what needs to be done.  They will talk about the tools needed for the repair and then Papa will give Matthew an important job to complete, such as tightening the screws on the cabinets.  Matthew is always so eager to learn about anything and Papa never minds taking the time to explain something.

Meredith had fun exploring a new environment again.  The living room has a step down and she discovered that she could crawl up the step all by herself.  She would get so proud of herself when she did it and laugh and smile.  She still needs to work on the getting down part though

Good thing this wasn't a roller covered with paint!

She always loves digging around in piles of random objects

Being under a table or crawling through some sort of table is one of her favorite activites

Random exciting news:  After weeks of trying, Meredith succeeded in pulling herself up to standing position for the first time this evening!  Kudos to her :)
