There's no denying, this kid LOVES his doggies

Okay, I know in the first picture it doesn't look like he's enjoying this, but on this particular day, he insisted the dogs join him on top of his little slide. There is not quite enough room so they didn't love it and kept sliding off. Then he'd get mad and want them back up...yada, yada, yada. all very entertaining.

After what could have been 5 minutes or an hour outside (both produce the same sweaty-headed kid during a Florida summer), he needed some cuddle time with Emmie.

And again, another activity where he insisted that a dog join him. Emmie didn't really love it. Luckily she loves him unconditionally :)

Eating "yo" and making messes

"Yo," (aka yogurt) is one of Mikey's favorite foods. It's also the one food where he still makes a gigantic mess on his face when eating. Other, more solid foods don't make nearly the mess. So it's quite entertaining. He's getting quite skilled with the spoon, though, so this may not last much longer.
Luckily, he's quite skilled at making other kinds of messes. He loves to go in a room and shut the door behind him, playing by himself (or yelling at us until we come and open the door). On this particular occasion I didn't realize he had taken an entire bag of fishies in with him...and dumped the whole thing out. It was some time before I went in to check on him and found the mess. As you can see by the grin, he thought it was quite funny.
