I Want This One

Adam is becoming much more vocal about choices of clothes. While he and Mommy where out running errands they found some clothes that had been marked down in price. Mommy held up a couple of shirts and asked Adam which one he wanted. He quickly smiled and grabbed one with a red race car from the Disney movie Cars. When it was time to get ready for bed the new shirt was laying on the bed where we were going to get him in his pajamas. As Mommy went to get him dressed he got fussy and wiggled away from the pajamas. He then grabbed the new shirt (many sizes too big), and smiled. He was delighted that we let him wear it tonight as a nightshirt.

Cute Shirts

Here are two of Daddy's favorite people. Daddy thinks that the shirts both of them are wearing are very cute on them. Daddy loves his family very much, but he wasn't wearing a cute shirt, so he wasn't allowed in the picture.

So Many Choices

Mommy has started to let Adam pick out what to wear for the day. This morning instead of grabbing a shirt from the top of one of the piles, he reached down and pulled out his Brown University t-shirt from under a pile. It is so fun to see our little guy making decisions.

Wash the Baby, Dry the Baby

Adam helped Mommy do laundry today. He even helped with his socks. Mommy was surprised that Adam dropped them in the drawer when prompted, instead of continuing to hold them. Chores are so much more pleasant when you've got a happy little companion.

Duck, Duck, Goose

Friends of a feather should flock together. Today Adam fashioned his yellow ducky outfit, while he played with his feathered friends. He loves his stuffed animals, Goose & Bear-Duck. He always gets happy to see either one. He was also happy to discover when he awoke from a nap, that Meredith & Stephen Aquila had come to play games. A day well spent with feathers and friends.

Cool Dude

Adam models an outfit that he just grew into. He does love his clothes.

Adam has an amazing outfit. It is dark blue with an outer space theme. This outfit is unique not only in it's design but in the fact that it seems to grow with him, just like Superman's. We pulled it out today to see if it still fits him, and were surprised to find that it did. Not only did it fit, there was still some room to grow.
He seems to grow so fast- just tonight we put two of his size 3 months pajamas in the too little drawer, and a few of the outfits he wears are six to nine months. The blue outer space outfit is labeled "Newborn".
We went through his pictures. The first photographic evidence of him wearing the "Superman Suit" was taken when he was only three weeks old. Nathan was drawn to the "Superman Suit" when he first saw it. Was it the outer space design, or its powers that attracted him?

Fashion Show

Adam grows so fast that we inventory his clothes often. We have found the best way to tell what fits is to try them on him. The sorting goes something like this: too small, just right, soon to fit, and too big. He loves to play dress up, so this is always a highlight for him. Today we tried on one too many too-small outfits. This frustrated our little Goldilocks. He likes his clothes "just right."

Shopping Jackpot

Nathan and Adam on their way to go shopping.



Tonight after work we braved the cold to go clothes shopping for Adam. We were blessed to hit some great sales. We saved $447, and only spent $99!

So Many Changes, So Little Time

Not only is our little boy changing so fast, so are his clothes. Today he wore five different outfits, quickly bumping washing his laundry to the top of the agenda.
