He's a toddler now

so every day is spent cleaning up his numerous messes, consoling him when he gets a bonk, and rescuing him from hairy situations.

Nothing is out of reach for him anymore, it seems. It can make the days long and frustrating, but also rewarding as I see him grow and change. 

Professional pics

We had Barrett's one year pictures taken by a very talented photographer here in town (Sarah Selle). He was very cranky, and it was a cold day, but they turned out well!

 We had to bribe him with food a few times.

Here's one of both my men in their red and black plaid. Quite handsome, don't you think? :)
