Teething Bites

Matthew now officially has two front teeth bringing our grand total to 5 teeth with 3 more working their way through. This basically means Matthew chews on EVERYTHING. He really likes his new blocks. (Also, this post is crazy video intensive so my apologies to those who can't view them!)

and his books
and the kitchen table




Now, everyone and their mother will suggest to me that I get one of those gel-filled teethers and put it in the fridge. This is generally suggested when we're out and Matthew is chewing on anything and everything that he can find, like other people's noses. I agree that it sounds like a great idea, however, this is what Matthew thinks of the gel-filled teethers he has.



We're still learning how to use our new camera and play with the settings. Here are some cute pics I took the other morning while playing with the camera.



Last but not least, Matthew went sledding for the first time this weekend. It was a balmy 23 degrees and well, the bowling alley (which was supposed to be our "if it's below freezing" plan) was closed. However, it was a gorgeous day:
and Sky was eager to play fetch in the snow even if he isn't the best tracking dog.
While Sky searched for his ball, June chased the deer and frolicked. I think she spent the whole time just trying to keep her belly out of the snow!



James and I certainly had fun on the sled, though Matthew was pretty indifferent about the whole thing . . . except when I accidentally kicked up some powder in his face. He was royally pissed at that point.



James and Matthew had a few problems with the sagebrush navigation



but ended with a successful ride


and most importantly, were greeted by their favorite 4-legged cheering squad.
