So Big!

This child is growing like a weed!  He's in clothes his brothers wore last year, and with his epic appetite, I can't see this abating any time soon.

"What dis?"

I'm sure you can imagine what the next photo in this series would look like...

"Me help"

We're having so much fun right now with the better weather, going to the Library, and the mall, visiting construction sites, going swimming, to the Agricultural Museum and just hanging out, splashing in puddles.

Today, however, he had an encounter with the Land Shark (aka Sprocket) which left him shaken in his faith that Puppy is his best friend.  The scene:  One last Grammy cookie, being admired by Malcolm moments before consumption, when it dropped right into the gaping maw of The Beast.  Of course, this reinforced the dog's impression that Malcolm is his best friend, like, ever.  Malcolm mournfully admonished Sprocket saying "NO!  Baby cookie!  No Puppy cookie".  But the dog takes no prisoners.... 

This lesson is a rite of passage in our house, and The Ducklings gave their little brother much sympathy.  They've lost choice morsels, a few soothers, pictures (both drawn and photographs!) and even small stuffed toys to the dog over the years....
