Crocodiles, forks and ice cream

Here is what Malachi has been up to lately...

We found his Halloween costume from last year, and decided he liked it, and wore for a whole afternoon. He decided it is a crocodile, and if you said it was anything else he would correct you.

Having a little fun with his fork at lunch, here we have the fork eye patch....

and here is the ear accessory, he did this all by himself, it was pretty funny.

Enjoying some ice cream on a warm summer evening. It was melting pretty quick so he really had to snarf it down!

Mmmmmm, so good.

Malachi is growing up so fast! He speaks in full sentences all the time, knows some colors and shapes, can tell you what pretty much any animal says, enjoys sleeping in a real bed, shares his toys, blankets, etc with the baby, translates daddy's russian babble into english for me, and loves going to church and pointing out all the missionaries (we have 3 sets in our little branch)! He is getting taller and is so strong, he'll actually say "I'm so strong" when he's doing something that requires the use of his muscles.
