Oh soo long....

Hi Everyone,

Sorry it has been so long since my last posting. My mom has been very flaky and busy lately. Lots going on with our life in TZ.

I can say a few more words - thank you (dunk you), see you, babu (grandpa). I know how to growl like a bear, bark like a dog and meow like a cat. Mom says I am a little too rough - I am always tossing my toys, banging things against the furniture and hitting other kids in our play group. My dad is totally strict, but he works a lot so it is not so bad. I took my first steps on Father's Day.........finally!!! Not a lot of walking since then, but I give it a try everyday.

Hope you are all well. Enjoy my photos.

Lots of love, Matti (cutest boy in all of Tanzania)

I am almost 1 year

Hi my friends...

So I am almost 1 year!!! Only a week to go. Imagine!

Now I can say dada, baba, book, hi (hiiii), bye or bye bye, asante (thank you in Swahili). I am also more demanding these days as I know what I want. When my nanny or parents don't give me what I want then I scream and bang my hands on the table. Of course this is not very effective with mommy.

Last week I went to South Africa with my folks and we took some nice photos. Take a look.... I am not a huge fan of grass which you might notice in the photos.

Miss you and lots of love!!!

Matti's first posting

Hi Everyone,

This is my new blog spot. This will make it easy for my mom and I to post info, photos and videos of my adventures in life. I am growing up so fast and I want my friends and grandparents to see me grow. I miss all my family back in the states, so hopefully this will make it easier to share my life with everyone that is near to my heart but far by distance.

You can sign up for an email notification when I post new stuff to my blog. I hope you enjoy this site!!!!

Lots of love, hugs and kisses...........
