The Big Growth Spurt

Rophone bought me a new fridge a few months ago and I have really been enjoying it. I have found that the french door style really fits my current needs. Big loves to be with me in the kitchen while I cook.  His favorite spot is standing at the front of the fridge hanging on to the freezer drawer handle.  The handle allows him to throw his head back to look at the ceiling and also the stability to bounce up and down without falling over. What joy!

I think the best part about my new fridge is that I can open the doors to retrieve things while I cook without having to worry about Big climbing in to get at things and having to move him out of the way so I can shut the door again. I was just thinking a few days ago how great it was that the doors skim just above Big's head, so I don't have to displace him at all to get things done.

This morning, as I set about making banana blueberry muffins for breakfast, Big came in and took his spot at the freezer drawer.  I turned to open the fridge door to get eggs and milk, excited not to have to move Big out of the way.  I pulled the door open and... THUNK! The bottom edge of the door hit Big smack in the middle of the forehead!  Oops. I had been telling Rophone this morning that I thought Big looked bigger. I guess I was right.

Taking pictures of the kids is something I love to do and I'll probably post a lot of them on here.  I hope you don't mind.  

Big was a little blue this afternoon.  Rophone had to work and Big missed him terribly.  Here he is looking out the door hoping for his return:
