Slacker

I guess I've been a slacker in September. Not much has been going on I guess. Brady's loving school, Zachary's a talking machine and Easton is growing like a little weed. That's it in a nutshell!

Okay, so Easton's such a different little guy all of a sudden. It's crazy how much they change right around 4 months. He's so alert now and can roll across a room in no time. He's not sitting up yet but probably will be soon. And I have a feeling it won't be long after that before he starts crawling. He kind of scoots around on his stomach by getting up on his elbows and knees and drawing his knees in to his chest over and over - hard to explain but it seems to be an attempt at crawling in my opinion. His main mode of transportation is still being a rolly polly. I now consider him to be mobile because we have to move things out of his path so he doesn't hurt himself! Sounds mobile to me. Here's a picture of him "playing" with one of his brothers' toys. It's hard enough to explain to the big boys that they need to share with each other.....they're really not going to understand when they have to share with Easton, too!!

Side note - the jammies featured in the picture above were the first pair of jammies that we ever put Brady in....see the picture below - Brady's first official night as our son in Russia...so happy for a quiet room to sleep in...this is one of my (first) favorite memories of Pumpkin Head...

In other news, it's football season. Brendan was soooo excited for the first Bengals game of the season. I was instructed (kinda) to dress the boys in Bengal wear on Sunday. Zachary (still obsessed with shoes) is now wearing Brady's former Bengals jersey. Being the slacker that I am, I have no yet purchased a new jersey for Brady - I need to get one.....anyway, Brendan put Brady's old jersey on Zachary yesterday before he left for the game....of course, the first item of clothing that goes on that child AFTER the diaper is the shoes (pronounced "shoosh")...so, he wandered around with just a jersey and "shoosh" on for a few minutes before Brendan found him some suitable shorts to wear. It was so cute - hard to get a picture but still cute...even with the boo-boo on his forehead....

Brady picked out a new Bengal shirt in crisis mode at Target on Saturday night. He's quite proud of it...as soon as he saw Brendan wearing his Bengals shirt Sunday morning, he wanted to put his on, too! Even though it was 80-something degrees outside yesterday, he insisted on wearing it. Even during his nap....and even with the navy blue shorts Brendan put on him but whatever!!
