Why I haven't posted much lately....









I've been feeling badly about not posting much lately. But when I finally got a chance to download the pics from my memory stick I saw why. The house might catch on fire if I took time out of the day from watching this kid. This Todd is into everything! (His nickname is sometimes Todd, short for Toddler.)
His current obsession is climbing. And he climbs everything he can. He climbs in drawers to get to higher drawers, on toys, in the picture where he's "reading" the WSJ he climbed the chair in the minute I went to get a coffee refill. I planned to take more pictures of him climbing, but in the short time that it took to take the memory stick from the computer and back into the camera he has managed to snatch it from the computer and we can't find it anywhere. And it could be ANYWHERE. We were missing the remote control for the TV for 2 weeks, and notice my pastry dough cutter nicely placed in the lamp in our guestroom.
The labor saving automatic dog feeder was not so handy once Miles got through with messing with the programming and we woke up one morning to a hill of dogfood pouring out the bowl.
The harassment of Pace continues at a healthy clip. Notice in the final picture he is getting a 2fer. Not only harassing the lamp but also note the cat tail poking out from under the bed as Pace flees to escape the Todd.
Despite all this the sweetest picture to me is the first one - it's the first time he used a straw. He was sucking down undiluted apple juice and acted like a happy drunk for a good while after all that sugar hit the veins.
