Drummer: 11 months

Clover has taken to calling Drummer Boyit, or sometimes just plain boy.  It's catching on and we'll say things like leave the boy alone!
Because he rarely is.  Left alone.  He loves it, yet already shows his annoyance by swiping at the offender's face.  They, of course, think it's funny.  Partially I don't blame him, but we still try to teach him to be soft.
He. Is. Loved.  
I can tell he doesn't have plans of walking any time soon.  I wouldn't either if I had someone playing my chariot all day long.
He hates holding still to be changed, but doesn't want to leave my lap once he is.
He's my longest nursing baby, the others had all given up months before they turned one.
Ryan says it's because he's a boy ;)
He is a joy, this boy.  And do you know what I realized the other day?!?  I get to make little boy suits!!  See ya frills, hello lapels! Okay, so there will still be frills, just an expanding of sewing repertoire to keep things interesting.
Also, he likes it when I color coordinate with him.

ps in case you wondered, his playsuit I purchased from zulily (again) which is a flash sale site, so they wax and wane in cute boy (and girl) things.  they seem to rotate through brands, this one is called "me too".

  3. He's just too cute! Congratulations on your longer nursing relationship!

    As I read your post, I realized (with a pang, I admit) that my time for snap crotch rompers has passed! Enjoy it while it lasts.

  6. Oh, I hope your hint at the end of the post has to do with Clover's white lace dress! I simply must know how to get my hands on something so cute! Does it come in adult sizes??

  12. Oh so cute! All the midwives told me when I had my son that 'boys love the boob'...I think they're right! My son loves to play with my cupcake cases too. I had to buy him a set so he would leave mine alone!

  14. The boy is gorgeous! I just love those kind of suits. I have one for my lil girl, already too small :( too bad I can't sew ones, not that kind of pro :)

  15. I love that you and I have birthdays very close together one month, and then the next month, our youngest boys, both blondies, have birthdays a day apart.

    Makes me happy to share this with you!

  16. We call our 21 year old son "the boy" and always have. Hold them close they are only this young for such a short time.

  17. Love the phone stamp! I'll have to try this soon. Vinny nursed for two years! His ped said he sees it all the time on last babies. It's like we know this wonderful special time is a stepping stone from which there is no return. P.s. he's such a handsome little thing. He compliments all the pretty girls in the family.
