Animal Lover

Matthew's fondness of animals has already been documented on this blog during the last month here and here.
But now that Matthew can both crawl and pull-up his ability to chase and pet animals has reached a new level. Yesterday afternoon, Matthew laughed with excitement as he lept from a seated position to tackle the family cat. Similarly, Chloe, the small chihuahua mix at Ms. Vicki's, now has to run and hide from Matthew's boa constrictor like grip whenever he touches fur. Matthew loves the animals so much, but doesn't understand why they don't want his affection. Everyone around him cringes waiting for the retaliatory scratch or bite that has, so far, yet to come. The best way to describe his adoration is like that of an old Bugs Bunny Cartoon: the Abominable Snow Rabbit.
and i will hug him and pet him and squeeze him

On another unrelated but cartoon inspired note, when Matthew is getting his hair washed, it helps if you sing "Figaro" from the Barber of Seville.
