Happy Birthday, Great Grandma!

Birthday smiles!

Best birthday wishes! Did you enjoy oatmeal for breakfast too?

So sad we can't give birthday hugs...

..or share some birthday cake...
love you!

Costume Pre-run

Symphony had her first piano recital Saturday. She did a great job, and I'm very proud of her!  It was a costume recital with Halloween themes; we were even treated to "The Addams Family" theme song in a flute duet!  The boys dressed in their costumes and here are some pics of my airplane and mouse:

Is this all this does?

Um, okay....

Look left.

Look right.

I'm outta here!

You're going to have to do better than that, moma!

Good, a ball.

Glue is sticky, sticky, sticky!

While Kosse is going to be an adorable mouse,  Ky picked an airplane costume.  For the body we have decided to make him a cloud.  Our representation of this consists of lots of glue with stuffing stuck in it.

What kid isn't excited about the allowed, liberal use of glue?

He wants to "cloud" the back when it dries...

Kosse during costume project helping with stuffing:

Happy Birthday, Grandpa!

In honor of your birthday and eating cake,  I'm enjoying a blueberry newton!

We love you, Grandpa!

Relaxing

Not too much excitement in the Dickson/Miller household today.  Kosse is busy eating, playing, and practicing walking and moma is busy cleaning smushed banana off of everything he touches!

I love dump trucks...what boy doesn't?

Can I put the camera in my dump truck?

I need more snacks!

I think I'm a model; check out my poses!

Camera? There's a camera?!

This pillow is an impromptu prop....

This makes moma laugh out loud!

Ready, Set, Go!

 

I Can Dress Myself

Kosse decided to try on a shirt of mine...believe it or not, he actually has his arm through one of the arm holes.

What about these sandals with this outfit?

I thought it would trip him up, but he crawled/walked around for a couple hours with this on.  I think he was content to wear it all day.   I took it off for a diaper change and later found he had put it back on.  This time with his head through the armhole, though!
 

Pots and Pans Everywhere!

Part of Kosse's daily routine is to empty the cupboards.  He alternates between emptying the bathroom cabinet of it's towels and lotions and the kitchen of its pots and pans.  After a few times of picking everything up, I have decided to embrace the situation and love this time...it won't be long before he's too big to be interested in cupboards or their contents. 

A Few Steps

Happy Birthday, Popa!

Can I have some of your cake?

I love you, Pop!
 

Sitting and Sipping

Who is this big boy drinking juice from a sippy?

and discovering that by shaking it he could spill the juice all over....

and singing to me his excitement at the discovery!

Kosse is vocalizing more and more...I love hearing him and wondering what's on his mind! 

Happy Kosse!
