Leaving the diaper bag behind!

The onesie side of Kai's wardrobe is dwindling.

No more nursing, yay!

Almost full on walking now = shoes for big baby.

Parting little man's hair to the side. He needs a trim in the back, yikes!

Dog, more, dada, banana (nana) is the vocabulary.

All of these things add up to a grown up dude in our house.

Last week I left my loverly diaper bag behind.  This is a great bag, great brand, great product.  It was super pricey (thanks mama!) but I never had to buy another bag, nothing frayed and it had plenty of storage space and pockets.

Exhibit A:

Exhibit B:
This is our new bag!  It's a little Pottery Barn backpack (thanks Mutti!) and it is perfecto for our little man and his baby needs.  The front pocket there has spots in in for crayons.  hah!  Like a little pen spot in big people backpacks.  Love it.

I feel like this kid is moving forward much more quickly than I was prepared for.

Looking forward to the holidays!  We have a trip to Katy, a visit from Aunt Dee Dee (Devon), Thanksgiving, Black Friday (which is great to be over because it's the most intense day of Scott's jobber), a trip to Fort Worth, Christmas shopping, ChrisTAMS!, Boxing Day (which we won't be here for, but in which we will be participants) and finally NYE.

I'm sure NYE will be much like last year...cheesecake and the baby monitor roaring at us.
