Miles of smiles

 Alex is six months old, sitting up pretty much by himself, loves to grab Liam's face and bring it close to him. He loves squash, bananas, peaches, well we haven't found one thing he does not like. I think he looks like Spanky from Our Gang The Little Rascals in this photo. He has big blue eyes.
 Liam continues to prove he is the best big brother ever. He is having such fun finger painting with shaving cream on the back door. "I like Paw-paw's blue cream better than yours," he said referring to the gel cream. He is reading three letter words and very interested in learning, but he still prefers physical activity, and has a description for every park I have taken him to.
"Can we go to the red playground? Or the one with the curvy slide? The one by the bridge with too many street lights? Rocket park? He is a bright boy.
 The other guys that make me smile are inseparable. Sassy cat still has a mouth, but his meows are quieter unless we are preparing his food. Then he yowls. Must have been traumatized being out on his own for that month before we rescued him.

This cat loves Bill, and I must say, the affection is mutual.

We were at the Goodwill and I saw what I thought was a hamper with mesh sides for five dollars. It's 36 inches long by  18 inches high and wide. I noticed a zipper, and read the tag: Warning Do Not Leave Pet Unattended for Long Periods.

Sassy took right to it. We zip him inside and he gets to sit outdoors on the patio with us and watch the birds, squirrels and rabbits, rather than just observing from the window. He loves it.
My rash is nearly gone. Shingles doesn't fade in a week, so I imagine it was an allergic reaction or auto immune response to something i touched or ingested.

Such sweet pictures of the two boys. Your Bill and Sassy cat look quite comfortable together.

I saw your previous post and it's good to know you're doing better. The older my body gets, the weirder the things it does. Every day is an adventure.

Liam is such a cutie!

It's already been six months since that cutie Alex was born? Liam will be shaving with that shaving cream before you know it! Maybe you can find a larger version of the cat-keeper, to help Bill stay out of trouble...

Linda-- Alex is six months already? That is amazing. He sure is a cutie. In fact all those photos depict something cute... except for that one which features two subjects. The cat? Adorable. The hairy seven-foot-tall beast? Scary.

Oh my gosh, "your boys" - all of them as so darn cute! Love the cat observatory!

Alex and Liam are so adorable. It's hard to believe Alex is six months already! Thanks for sharing them with us. :) Sorry you had the shingles. That can be so painful. I do hope it wasn't too rough for you.

We're having our front porch rescreened and enlarged, and once that happens our cat, Luna, will be allowed to sit out there with us. I know she's going to love it.
