Our Last One Piece Outfit

Benjamin has finally outgrown our last one piece shorts outfit and I had to memorialize it with a blog entry. David was glad to hear that I would not be dressing him in this anymore since it does look a little too toddler-ish for our big bustling boy. I have to admit that I agree.
In this pic you can just see the mischief oozing out of him!
Yes, he does know how cute he is. Can you tell?

This final one piece was actually just one of two outfits we had like this. The other one was much smaller and was outgrown long ago. Here a shot of both boys wearing the outfits at the zoo in the fall of 2006.
Here Nathan is wearing the outfit that Benjamin just outgrew. Yes, it was a little bit big on him but I was afraid that if I didn't put them in the outfits at that time Benjamin would outgrow his before they ever got to wear them together.
And here's a pic of Benjamin wearing the smaller outfit.
I guess it's the end of an era. However, as much as I liked all our cute little baby and toddler clothes, I really love to see my bigger boys in their polos looking just like Dad. Is it just me or do they get cuter everyday? So I'm a little biased - it's my blog so that's okay.

Crazy Hair

Looks like it's about time for haircuts again at our house. But before we snip off those golden locks we snapped this shot on our bathroom counter. We call this "crazy hair" at our house. I'm not a big fan of spikey hair dos so we always comb it nicely over before leaving the house. It's kind of fun to play a little first though.

I was reminded of another crazy hair picture that was taken right before Benjamin's first haircut back in January.
I was also reminded of one of my very most favorite brother pics ever taken in May 06. My mom had bought Nathan and Benjamin their first matching outfits back at the end of summer 2005 when we knew we were expecting a Benjamin. And now Benjamin is wearing Nathan's outfit from the May 06 picture in the top picture taken last week. Soon no one in my house will be able to wear that cute little blue race car outfit but I'll always have my picture of them smiling together on the blanket.

and hugging.

Ah, brotherly love - there's nothing like it! Though I grew up an only child (and feel very blessed to have done so) I thank God every day for letting me see what a blessing a sibling can be through the eyes of my sons. They are already each other's best friends.
