Bare bums and babies

Here is a quick picture update from mid August. 

Joel is slowly learning how to dress himself. I'm not sure why independence seems to have onset later with Joel, but he's learning so much now! Though sometimes two legs get stuck in one hole.

Kent likes to wear this hat when the kids dress up. It gives me a chuckle every single time. Kent really likes hats in general. He'll slap one on any chance he gets.

After Alyssa's comfort blanket began to wear out a bit, Erik joked that comfort items should be more disposable so you could freshen them up every once and awhile. I'm not sure if batteries is what he had in mind...

Kent likes to be in on the 3D printer action, which is a little scary when you haven't seen Kent for awhile and this is what you find.

Sometimes Taft and Joel are silly. Taft decided one night he needed to wear hair bows and even picked a couple out for the next day. They also included Erik on the fun.

Alyssa made a t-shirt quilt with some of her old shirts. She did most of it by herself. She cut and sewed and fringed! She was diligent until the end and is happy with her final product. Kent is our table buddy. Whenever we are working at the table, he is always nearby eating a snack or doing his own little project.

Kent surprised me with this display one morning:

Oo lala!

No more t-shirt jammies for him. Full onesies or shirts and shorts from now on!
