September

 

Ready for our Mexican Independence Day Celebration!

¡¿No se ve guapisismo?!

(Thanks Aunt Elena for the shirt!)

 Working on rolling over

  Spa Day with Isabela Mae!

My handsome little (tender-hearted) muscle man.  

Isa and her Monita.

(Isabela is sitting here with input on what I should write for her captions. This one is supposed to say "Happy Birthday because I love you!")

First Hair Cut

(Daddy got one, too!)

 After!

 Sad little boy! But isn't his cloth diaper the cutest?

 And Chauncey loves his jumper!

Mostly he loves chewing on it.

 Isabela dressed Chauncey... I had to help a little with the buttons.

Isabela's caption: "He looks handsome."

A definite favorite!

I can't get enough of this little guy.

My favorite thing he does:  If I am holding him, and he gets excited, he will grab my face and give my cheek a big open-mouthed kiss!

 

 He only sucks his thumb when he is tired.

Coming home, and getting ready for our....

 ...PICNIC!

 .All snazzy for our jazz concert at CMC!  They danced at the back of the room--ballroom and ballet style--for over 2 hours of music!  A few of their friends came and joined in, too.  I wish we had more pictures.

 A true thumb sucker... even with his binkie!

(Another favorite of mine!)

 Having a sleepover.

 The parade in New Castle with Emmet

Chauncey wasn't big enough to fit in the wagon yet.

 Rockin' the Shades at the parade

 "Look, Mom.  I made me a hammock!"

 Putting sweet Elmo and Xander to bed.

(Do you like the ipad-cover blanket?)

Box Town

 Tatum and Xander cruising in their cars.

Don't you love Xander's sunglasses upside down?

They are still a little big and really do stay on his face better this way.
