- A small frisbee. Matthew hasn't figured out throwing with the wrist but he gets a kick out of throwing it with Dad anyway.
- A nerf missile launcher: put the missile on the launcher and give it a pump; the air pressure pushes the missile off. Since it's a direct-fire system (unlike his crossbow where clocking it loads a spring) Matthew can only shoot it 10 feet at most, but he thinks that's fantastic.
- A play-doh "factory." We haven't let him open this yet because of the mess potential but we will probably play with it tomorrow morning while Rachel sleeps in. I think he will like it.
- Silly putty: easily the most popular toy. He loves it. Even kept him quiet (for Matthew) during church. Huge hit.
Matthew was nicknamed "Peanut" by his mother shortly after birth. How shortly, we're not really sure anymore; within the first few sleep-deprived days is all we remember.

Since his first abnormally alert days he's just become more and more active, and at some point his uncle Grant conferred upon him the moniker Savage.
