"DA-DAAA! PA-PAA!" Is what is heard a lot around here. Malachi loves his daddy and papa. He often calls papa on his imaginary phone :) I was reading him a book and there was a photo of a telephone and when I said, "telephone" he held his hand to his ear and said, "papa?" Too cute.
We have a wood stove in our basement, which has been a huge help (esp. since there is a gas shortage.) Malachi loves saying, "hot" whenever he hears it or sees it. Aaron has been cutting down a dead tree in our yard for wood. Malachi loves to watch him use the chain saw.
If daddy or papa are working on a project around the house, Malachi is ON it! He loves watching them use the power tools and work. He is fascinated.
We are also learning to use a spoon. Oh joy. I think it is harder on me then him. I suppose its a learning process. I just need to be sure if he uses one then I will wrap a tarp around him and the whole kitchen. lol! Seriously.
He loves playing with balls. Often time when he spots his ball across the room he will announce it, "baa!" He loooves playing peek-a-boo and its the most adorable thing the face of the universe!!!!!! (At least to me and daddy :) He loves to be chased and keeps us busy as he explores (and throws things in the trash! Yikes!) We are starting to get to the point where we need to be careful what we say and do around him. SO scary! Lots of prayers please! haha
I remember learning in college that some gender characteristics are taught but I see now that natural biology is causing this baby turn into a boy, right before my eyes! I have not taught him to love tools, tractors, loud noises, balls and the men in his life. That is just the way God created him. <3
Big boy feeding himself
"Baa!"
"Hey mom, saw you do this 100 times so now I am going to!"
It actually plugged it in himself! So scary!
Bath time?
PAPA!
Daddy holding me so I can help!
