Company, Kids, Clothes

Lisa brought shirts for the kids when she visited this week.  Perhaps she knew that neither Sydney nor I have loyalties to particular sports teams, so our kids were up for grabs!  Can you guess her hometown?  Katherine modeled both shirts with appropriately windblown hair:

And some really cute clothes arrived in the mail from Jim and Maryann.  Thank you!!  Nathaniel is particularly grateful, since I was still squishing him into his 6-month clothes, and he was wondering how much he would have to grow for me to go shopping.  They included a teether and bib in the package, and I thought, “Oh, surely not for awhile.”  But just in the past few days Sydney has started commenting on Nathaniel’s drool and crazed chewing on fingers and hands.  We’re still a bit scarred from Katherine’s teething, so we aren’t quite ready for another round!

Katherine has just mastered “orange” and “monkey” (okay, okay, for the latter she just makes monkey sounds), so she’s really keen on this outfit.  All day long I heard “boo cah” and “ooownge car” and “ooh ooh ooh ah ah ah.”  No wonder the little guy finds her a bit alarming.

I also gave Katherine her first haircut.  Slippery toddler in the tub, scissors, and far too much movement.  But we all survived.  I just trimmed the back a bit until the rest of her hair grows out, but the recent warm weather has brought out the curl, so it looks short all-around.

“There was a little girl who had a little curl right in the middle of her forehead.  When she was good . . . “

    Sorry the shirt for Nathaniel was so big (it was the smallest they had), but glad to see that Katherine can make use of it ’til he grows into it. She’s an excellent model. 🙂

    Was great to see you guys this week! Thanks again for playing hostess & showing me around Oxford! I’m looking forward to many more visits and European adventures this fall. 🙂 (Ps. Hi from Poland!)
