Phaelen got a new bed that matches Calder's and the changing table/shelf from Ikea. The old crib was on its last leg and was slightly broken but usable with the help of some books underneath it. Remember that massive recall of cribs a while ago? Turns out ours was one of them and it just gave me more than an excuse to get rid of it.
My boys are growing a lot lately! Since living here in Washington, rain is something we deal with on a regular basis. Phaelen was wearing Calder's old rain coat that was 12 month sized and frog rain boots size 5; he grew out of both pretty quick. So we drove all the way to the Troutdale outlet malls to Osh Kosh and got him a new coat (size 24 month) and boots (size 6). I realized that Calder had been wearing his rain coat for a long time too and so I checked the tag. "3 T! Holy cow, we have to get another coat." So back to the Osh Kosh store and of course Calder wanted a matching one. Oh, let's not overlook the fact that both rain coats are "firefighter" themed; which is a regular staple/fashion in our household.
My boys have pretty easy hair. Meaning it lays however it wants but looks fine. I convinced Jeff that the boys should get their hair cut at a store and not by him and our handy buzzers (plus we had some coupons). Calder wanted a certain style and so we found some pictures he liked. The results were pretty nice if you ask me.
