Not one, one and a half

You men will be happy to know that I finally got around to clipping off those long curls at the back of Malachi's head, just in time for his halfy birthday. He looks even more like a little man now.

Before

After

Other things this guy is doing at 18 months:
  • Trying to walk downstairs standing up
  • Enjoying wearing Philip's old railroad cap
  • Saying millions of words, many of which would sound to the uninitiated like "ock" or "guck" or "gook" or "cack" (and many of which would, in fact, BE "ock" or "guck" or "gook" or "cack;" meaning rock, truck, book, and cake, respectively)
  • Asking unintelligible multi-part questions ending in a rising, plaintive squeak
  • Going to nursery at church
  • Commenting on everything: airplanes, backhoes, the moon, bumps on the road ("mup! mup!")
  • Helping Daddy mow the lawn
  • Wanting to hug Abe's bear, Honey ("Unn-eee!")
  • (Still) shaking his head "no" when he means "yes"
  • Refusing to sleep without his birdie
  • Playing outside
  • Looking pleased with himself
  • Getting things
  • Laughing obediently whenever his brothers try to be funny
  • Climbing things
  • Falling out of, down from, and off of things


We love our Ky-guy!
