He gets held a lot.

COSTUME check
So, the other day, we put Isaac's costume on him to check it for size.
Since Ethan was enjoying one of his blankets tied around his shoulders like a cape this morning, I decided to pull HIS halloween costume (bought at the end of the season last year) and give it a try. It was a clown - and while it is cute, the hat is too small and the velcro that holds the pants up via suspenders kept breaking away and the pants were NOT going to stay up.
We took him downstairs to let him look in a full length mirror,
but in reality, he was WAY more interested in "reading" daddy's little bible.
and within moments, the pants and hat were gone and he was into another book (thank you LeaAnn - he really loves them!)
So, end of the story is that both costumes are a fail. Luckily, we don't actually have any PLANS to dress up and go out. :)
Stay tuned for the second costume we bought last season end for Phin. It's a pirate and it's super cute and I think it'll actually fit him!

Just a Tuesday...
I am just impressed with Isaac's ability to hold his binki in his mouth. I mean, he's just two weeks old today, but somehow he's learned that if he wants to keep that binki in his mouth, he is more successful when he uses his hand.
Also, if you make the picture bigger, you can see his cute blue eyes.
Auntie took this picture and thought it was super cute. SO, here is to Auntie!
Little boys are warm and cuddly.
Check out that cloth diaper!

Costume party
Phin's first halloween costume was as a bumble bee. Realize that Phin was a whole five weeks older than Isaac at Halloween time. As it turns out, because Isaac is so much bigger than Phin, we had to take the pictures a bit early. So, here is Isaac's halloween costume, in mid September!
and of course, another monkey picture:

Letter Love
He loves the bath and he loves letters. What could be a better match?
It actually started because we have foam tiles in the living room floor that are the alphabet. They are made from the same foam as these bath time alphabet letters. Phin started pulling the letters of out of the tiles (like the kids DO at the gym were they also have said tiles.) We weren't finding a good solution to his stopping that behavior, so we bought a bath set - hoping he would be encouraged to play with them instead. It has worked and now he has a "house" set and a "bath" set.

hats, hats, hats
From the time he was born, I had a hat on this little boy's head. Even now, he has a variety of hats he wears inside and out. AND for good measure, we often play with "random" objects as hats as well. One time it was the Kid's pack lunch bag from Subway...
Today, during his nap time, it was one of daddy's QT cups that Phin carries around as a toy. It seems, we may need to find or make for him a "night cap" - like in his book "It's time for Tom."

Sizing it up with the sock monkey
He pulls his little tiny (but very long) feet under him and I remember exactly how those little knees poked out of the sides of my belly just a week ago. This picture isn't the best representation of it, but it's as close as I can get. I am so happy he's "out in the world" with the rest of us now!
You will note the disposable diaper in this picture. His long, long legs are too skinny to fit the cloth diapers at this point. Hopefully, he'll gain a bit of weight in those thighs and we'll be in cloth in no time!
I think Grandma and Isaac have the same eyes!

making C-O-O-K-I-E-S with Grandma Susie!
Grandma Susie is KNOWN for her cookies - even out of state. AND, since it's been a long tradition of her making said cookies and her kids grabbing at the dough behind her back, we decided that now Phin is two, he should get in on the action. SO, this was Phin's first time to "help" grandma make some cookies. He even wore his super cool hat and "helped" like a super star. It was great fun to watch.
Daddy caught the over the shoulder look from Phin after a few bites.
And, YES, the cookies were AMAZING!
