Brothers

One of the perks (at least in my mind) of having two kids of the same gender is dressing them in matching outfits. I think the females in our family agree....

Glow-in-the-dark pajamas from Grandma Kaye (Silas is learning his bones)

Handmade sweaters from Gramaidi

Ready for Christmas?

I know, it's only the first day of fall, and I'm already thinking about Christmas. I bought my giant tub of hot cocoa mix at the grocery store last week and last night was cold enough to wear my winter pajamas. It's my favorite time of year!

And, I've already started Christmas shopping. I know, I know, but Kohl's had the most adorable clothes on sale and I have a precious 5-month-old baby niece--it's a dangerous combination. But if the people on your Christmas list aren't as easy to shop for, I've got a little suggestion for you. This is a project I worked on last spring, and I think a lot of you out there would really enjoy it (and/or know people who would!)

Titus turns one!

Weight: 22 lbs
Height: 30 inches

Titus has a bunch of new words like "juice" and "up" and he is walking everywhere. He even pushes himself up and takes off walking without needing to use the couch or anything to get him on his feet. It's crazy! Even crazier, though, is that he still has no teeth. So here's his cute little toothless smile:


At his birthday party last week, he had a little help from brother opening the gifts:


He climbs on top of everything - an a new toy table is no exception:


He loves knocking stuff over:


So, I made his cake a pile of knocked over blocks:


He immediately took a swipe at the cake and stuck a finger full of frosting in his mouth:



I guess my baby is no longer a baby!
