Just Keeping Up

This eighteen month stuff is exhausting. We are going going going going going at a rate faster than the speed of.....well, a seventeen month old. However, it is also delightful and funny and exciting and amazing to be a part of it. Here is a taste of what we've been up to:

Experimenting with playdoh for the first time. He likes to roll small balls of it around on the table. What he likes more is to attempt to put it into his mouth and watch my reaction.
Mama playing with camera. William intensely studying playdoh.
Cuteness
Mashing it up
Mama's sculpting talent. Clockwise we have (obviously!) a chicken, a bunny and a fish. I definitely missed my calling...
Squishin'
Investigating
Testing
All done! So far, our playdoh sessions (2 so far) have lasted longer than 15 minutes each. That is AMAZING!
Last week we had our yearly visit with our vet for both of our cats. William got a kick out of the cat carrier. We finally had to put it away so he would leave it alone. The report from the vet was good. Both cats are healthy and have lost weight again (each about half of a pound) this year. I wonder why? The vet actually asked us what we thought the cause was behind the weight loss. Both John and I just pointed at William (he came with to the appointment, not in the carrier). Now that he is mobile, the cats have a lot more physical work to do to avoid him.
A big shout out to our favorite neighbor, Amy who handed William down this Elmo shirt. We had a hard time getting it off of him at bedtime!
In and out. In and out. In and out. The cat carrier was worth at least half of an hour of entertainment.
