A day with Reece, part 1

Beck was very happy to see his good friend, Reece.
They found a sunny patch on the floor and communed.

Beck needed a nap and the dogs needed to be dogs for a while.

Unchained

He was getting rowdy in the library, so I turned him loose outside.
I had a hard time keeping up.
He enjoyed a quick game of peek-a-boo.

Sometimes a stray twig is much more fascinating than a building full of books.

One fall day

One day he'll be playing ball in these parks.
For now, he's content with going up the slide in the wrong direction.

Anything yummy gets shared with Wedge.
Reece waits for him to toss the ball.

New clothes

Grooming

Sometimes I just let him

It was too quiet

Kathy and I had one of those "I thought you were watching him" moments.
This is how we found him.

Dora

Gardening

Heave ho! My lad!

Slumber party

"Hulk pillow shows baby not to smash during diaper time."
"Puny Bill Bixby pillow would cry."

Potato Chips

Beck experiments with potato chips.
Wedge dutifully waits to clean up after his master.

Playtime

Beck chooses the awkward toy while Meson chooses a more appropriate one.

How many rocks can fit in a Tonka?

Fun in the sun

Later, he went up the big kids' slide by himself. I was too busy preventing green-stick fractures to take pictures.

On base

That is mostly grilled cheese on his nose.

Rainier was hidden by weather for a few recent days. It was comforting to see it again today.

Wool Diapers

Napoleon wore a pair like these; Wedge was impressed.

A fun week

Sometimes, Beck hollers with the "Green Ladies" next door.
One of our neighbors.

He's a much happier passenger in the new car seat.
