alasdair and his duck:

photo catch-up

... here are some of alasdair's latest photos.
the boy and I on a walk in boise:

so busted. there were times when he had one in one hand, one in the mouth, and two in the other hand.

plant man.

side view.

now that eating is on... the mess is on, too. i love it.

post eating + mess, on his way to the bath... sooo stoked. he loves the bath.

ah, in the bath. what i love most: he sticks his tongue out to concentrate, just like papa. so cute.

the melt is on

... and I can share (some things on) my plate with Alasdair. good times. he's definitely getting over the gaggy mcgaggerson affliction. it all started last week when he developed the 'michael jordon,' as Lucky so appropriately dubbed it. long tongue, fully exposed. I thought he had a sore in the back of his throat. an anxious mama, so I am. he was merely figuring his tongue out, and has since been able to eat, mush, swallow larger chunks of avocado, banana, sweet potato, cottage cheese---ah, it's lovely, and he's definitely enjoying it.
on another exciting bit: my mama, honey, entered the MTC yesterday. ben, alasdair and I will be able to see her on Saturday, p-day. alasdair and I went to boise for nearly two-and-a-half weeks. whip. that was a long time... a much enjoyed time, but a little too long to be away from papa.
AHHHH.... just remembered some other major news: alasdair is walking, steadily, quickly... it's crazy and frankenstein. little sweetie. he makes a funny grimace as he walks, too... the 'focus face.'
though I do have a lot more to share and say, it's time to prepare some dinner. so, I'll leave it at: to be continued...
