Boys, boys, boys

Here's yet another daddy and Rex pic. They're always my favorite.
Last week Cassie and I were at Costco with the boys. We put them in the cart together and Cam leans overs like this and says, "I LOVE you Rex!" It was so cute. I think he's ready to be a big brother.

Rex loves to talk. He started saying "da-da" almost a month ago, but it's always hard to catch it on camera. Whenever I turn the camera on he stops talking because he loves to stare at the camera and reach for it. He's fascinated by any little electronic device - the remote, my phone, etc. I had to catch him off guard so you could hear him talking.

In this one you can hear him saying "da-da," but mostly muffled by the ball he's holding. You get the idea, though.

The Boys

Here are a couple pictures I took today that I liked. Here's a close-up of little Rex.
The kid in me still likes building towers with blocks and the boy in Cam likes to push them over, so we make a great team. Here's the little guy with a special tower I made just for him.

Two Little Snags...

Rex is now 7 months old and we've had some monumental accomplishments in the last week. First of all, he's sitting up really well on his own now. Secondly, his two little bottom teeth just broke through! They are so cute, but I'm not going to hold him down to get a photo of that. He's growing so quickly now and I can't believe how fast it's all going by.

Bath Time...

Rex loves bathtime (and I must admit that I do, too). He loves to kick and splash in the water and I love to see him so happy.
Along with everything else baby-size, Rex outgrew his tub so I had to buy him something else. That way I don't have to fill up the whole tub and it's easier for him not to tip. He also adores the little rubber ducky in the picture.
He doesn't like getting out nearly as much and he hates getting dressed. (He is a MAN and if they had if their way the whole world would be a nudist colony!)

The Mini-Woobies

Rex has had a mini satin blanket since he was born and the last few months he's grown very attached to it. He has to have it next to him to take a nap and he pulls it over his face (satin side down, of course) to go to sleep. It was really hard to wash it between naps, so I decided to make some myself for him. Here's two that I've made.
It's satin on one side and super soft on this side. I sewed on some ribbons to make it cute and a little rubber button to top it off.
Here's the second one. It's leopard print on one side and black satin on the other. Yes, it's a little bold and diva-like, but he loves it. He even likes them as toys during the day. I don't know what's with this kid and satin, but they're inseparable.

The Little Scooter

Rex is enjoying being on his tummy a lot more now. He tries so hard to scoot around. He kicks his legs a flails his arms, not realizing that his tummy is still anchoring him to the ground.
You can tell he loves having me take pictures of him about as much as his father does.
This is his sweet, innocent face. It makes changing five poopy diapers a day tolerable.
