Still figuring it out

Steven and Knute are still figuring out their relationship. Steven is enamored of Knute and usually wants to walk or crawl to wherever he is and grab for him. Knute is incredibly tolerant, and is testing out how much physically contact to allow Steven, and how much to initiate himself.

I posted these first two pictures to Facebook at the beginning of the month. Steven and Mike were sitting on the couch Skyping with Grandma and Grandpa when Knute decided to come sit on their laps. You can see that Steven's inclination is to grab a fistful of fur, and Mike is trying to teach him to pet the kitty with an open hand.














These next few I took a few days ago:

Steven approaches Knute. Knute contemplates what to do...


Knute decides to flop over in the classic "rub my belly" position...
Knute changes his mind and retreats. Steven looks at Mommy as if to say, "What went wrong?"
