Crikey! 'E's a feisty one! 'E may be sleeping, but don't wake him up. 'E'll tear your arm off.

Dylan is 2 1/2 years old. We are aging 5--make that 7-- years for every one of his. We simply can't put words to the feelings evoked by living with our little charmer; we can only document the richer moments here. [Editor's note: he peed on the couch while I was editing this page.]

Favorite quote: "I'm SUPERMAN!"

Dylan in his natural habitat. (Logie's visiting.)

The Great Chase
 
This kind of thing happens more than you'd think. We finish dinner, have a bath, everyone's warm and relaxed, and then suddenly someone bolts for the door. The difference this time was that I was just putting the camera away when it happened. Next time, the FBI agent down the street will notice and I'll be updating this from my cell.

...and the chase begins in earnest.

Cornered! Honestly, I felt strange about snapping photos of a naked boy in the neighbor's yard.

To be fair, there are days he falls asleep under the hair dryer.

Best hot chocolate (and hot buns) in town.

I just happened to have the camera when Dylan bolted out the front door, naked.

By now, I'm laughing so hard he's got three or four houses on me. This is on maximum zoom.

Caught! Could he be any more gleeful??

"Funny, my pants were on my legs when I jumped."

For the record, Dylan starts most of these matches...

Overheard in airport: "Wow, that kid's fast."
