Wagon!

Matthias got a late birthday present from Grandma and Grandpa Hinz -- and he loves it! We had a false start when the first one we got had a bum wheel, but within a few days daddy had disassembled the first one, sent it back and reassembled the new one. Yay daddy!!

"How's it coming, there, daddy?"

Let's test how sturdy this thing is

"Mush, daddy, mush!"

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!!

Picking up a hitchhiker... his friend Audrey

I've been watching a few kids here and there, which is good for Matthias to get used to having other little people in the house. The most consistent one is Julia, who was born one week before Matthias was. Her daddy is also a 4th year. They are learning how to play with each other... and have fun squealing to see who is the loudest.

One of the few times that both of them were sitting still

 On Monday I watched a 9 month old little girl. She was pretty interested in Scruff and so Matthias spent most of his time laying on top of his puppy to protect him. It was pretty cute.
