Matthew was inspired by his doggie outfit the other day -- he decided to check out the dog door. (Actually, we normally have it closed off by the baby gate, but since we were going outside he had a rare opportunity.) We didn't let him crawl through, though; there's concrete on the other side which probably wouldn't be good for baby knees or heads!
One of Matthew's current favorite books is called A Big Dog: An Opposites Book (a birthday present from his wonderful babysitter Nicole). One of the pairs is "hot dog" and "cold dog", and when we get to "hot dog", Matthew makes a panting noise! It's so cute. :)
One of Matthew's other favorites is the Baby Einstein dog book. Yesterday he wanted me to read it to him three times in a row. (Yikes -- I thought kids didn't get into that repetition phase until they were a bit older!)
You may also notice in the bottom picture that one of the foam alphabet tiles is detached from the rest. This is one of Matthew's current favorite games -- he takes them apart and then starts to chew on a piece of it. I say no, he takes it out of his mouth for a second, then puts it back in his mouth. Rinse, repeat. (I'm not so fond of this game. It usually ends with an adult taking away the piece and/or physically moving Mattie to another location.) Ahh, the testing of the limits. So it begins.
