Yesterday was a beautiful, mild summer day -- just perfect for a visit to the park. While David and Cameron played tag, Matthew and I hung out on the grass. Matthew put this time to good use, practicing his latest feat: walking! He toddled unsteadily and laughed when he fell in the grass. When he tired of walking, he resorted to his patented Knee-free Crawl as the grass felt funny on his knees. He was so adorable that he soon attracted the attention of a family. The mom, dad and two kids came over to admire him. (He really is soooo cute!) Matthew obliged them with his three-tooth grin. After a few minutes, the family said good-bye and attempted to coerce Matthew into waving bye-bye. Finally, Matthew lifted a hand into the air nonchalantly, thrilling his admirers. Casually but with an air of finality he declared "Ahhh daaa." That's "all done" for those who don't speak Matthewese!
