Nothing but trouble!!

Hey, what's that big black eye thing? What if I poked it?

Sharing?

Um, no. Not quite.

No fear

We went to the zoo today and visited Brian's favorite attraction: the polar bear. He got so excited to see it! Then... after a few pets, it's off to see something else.

Best buds

This is Brian's favorite spot. He LOVES Sasha. I don't know if the feeling is mutual, but at the very least, Sasha tolerates him gently and patiently waits for food to come her way.

If you enlarge the image you can see sand particles flying as he claps in excitement.

Update for all you fans...

I know we haven't been too good about posting new pictures these days. So I thought I would just blog, like a normal person (don't worry, there are some pictures too). We have all been recovering from a cold that has had us sneezing and coughing for the last week. I've been keeping Brian home so as to not spread the cold around. Some items of note, and Brian stories....

* We saw a snake in our front yard the other day, a big one! Now I am afraid that Brian is snake bait whenever he goes wandering. Fortunately, I think the colony of chipmunks that live around the house are probably better snake bait.

* Brian has discovered the joy of putting things IN, as opposed to just taking things out... no, he is not putting toys away yet or anything like that, but he likes to shove his food into plastic containers, he puts his toy letters in his toy mailbox, and he was even caught putting rubber duckies in the toilet. Haha!

* He is proving to be quite a bookworm. He will sit and "read" for a fairly long time, but recently he discovered that if he brings a book to an adult they will read it for him, so now he mostly does that instead. Over and over and over and over....

* Sasha caught a mouse. No, not in the house. I just thought I'd toss that in for all you Sasha fans.

Now on to the pictures:

This was today. It's mainly a brag shot of the new diaper I just made him. I know, nobody wants to see his bum. Trust me though, his front end isn't looking so hot these days (think snot bubbles). This IS the best angle. And as a bonus, you can see me, part of Sasha, and the new deck light Calvin installed!

This was a while ago at the zoo. They have an underwater viewing area where supposedly you can see polar bears (never have). Brian loves it. I wish we could get admission to just that room, and forget the rest of the zoo. Here, though, in the absence of polar bears to see, Brian is staring at his little girlfriend instead. What a flirt!
