Malcolm at One Year

Moose man has changed a lot in a year. Most notably our sweet little lump who sat patiently on the sidelines watching his big brother for months is now DEMANDING a piece of the action. And oh what a little temper he has. He is giving Wyatt - and anyone else who stands in the way of him getting his hands on what he wants - quite a run for their money. Top on his list of things to play with - IPhones and Blackberrys. He is convinced that he'll find one in any large purse he comes across which has proven somewhat embarrassing in public. This morning he nearly had to be physically removed from the Carousel at Yerba Beuna Gardens when he insisted on riding in the sled with a woman and her giant pocketbook rather than the "white horse with a face looking up" that Wyatt selected for him.

Other toys that top the list of favorites are anything in Wyatt's hand, anything that is on the table in the playroom (so that he can climb up on to the chair and sit at the table like a big boy and play like Wyatt and his friends), trucks that he drives and goes VRRRRROOOOOOOOMMMMMM. He also LOVES to take blankets off of beds and couches. He piles them up in the middle of the floor, dives in and rolls around them kicking his feet. We call this "making an ocean" for him to swim in and Wyatt has gotten to be a big help in making oceans for Malcolm to play in. Malcolm also likes to climb on to beds and roll around - often times rolling right off unphased. He's quite an accident waiting to happen and we've added Danger Baby to his long list of nicknames.

Little temper aside Malcolm is a sweetie pie who loves giving and getting kisses. He often comes running right up to me when I get home from work and gives me a big hug. He's happy to go with anyone anytime. He loves to snuggle and sleeps with multiple little giraffe lovee blankets.

We love Mr. Moose man and can't believe he is already a year old! Happy Birthday.
