who the cap fit

Our fair-haired boy is definitely vulnerable to the sun's harmful rays, so an excursion to the park means a healthy application of sunscreen and the selection of a rakish and flattering hat. It doesn't seem like it's possible that he could be cuter with his curls covered up, but apparently it's so.

He also got a new HazMat-esque bib that helps to minimize the collateral damage at mealtime. He's been diligently practicing his sippy-cup skills, with an assist from Grandma.

life and how to live it

As we all know, life is an education. Here's some of the things Cassidy has been learning:
- It never hurts to ask for what you want.
- Grandmas are very helpful at figuring out shapes.
- Pigeons are put on this earth to be chased.
- The slide can be scary, so make sure someone's holding your hand.
- Always wear your sun hat. Girls dig it.
- You have to keep up with your email, or it gets overwhelming.
- Babies should have a calendar to help plan their busy days.
- At the end of a busy weekend, there's nothing better than crashing out on Mom's lap.

happy feet

Here's some pictures from the last couple of weeks, including Cassidy demonstrating his new foot-oriented eating style, wearing his sun hat, practicing his come-hither look in the mirror, and singing for his supper. We've also got a photo from his recent excursion to Fairyland with Freya.
