Best Buds

Our good friends Erin and Roberto visited last weekend with their darling 6-month-old son, Luca, and their sweet dog, Phoebe (I forgive you for peeing on the couch!). As expected, Thomas was jealous at first, pawing at our legs and burying his head in our crotches when we were holding Luca, but eventually, he settled into having another little duder around. In fact, he became quite mature about the whole thing, giving Luca kisses and bringing him toys like the cool multi-colored sock monkey. As a reward, "Tio Roberto" read him his favorite Eric Carle books in Spanish!

Hanging out in the pjs.

Not-so-still life with babies, daddies, and dog

There is...another...Sky...walk...errrr

And watch out for his powerful spoon saber!

"Please, No, Don't Turn Me into a Meat Pie!"

We took Thomas to Lance's barber, Daniel, for the first time today. The outing started out well enough, but at some point between admiring the many mullet styles Daniel had to offer and sitting in the big black chair, Thomas realized that Daniel was really "The Demon Barber of Gray, TN"!

"I like that one, Mamaw."

(Are you sure you don't want #24?)

"Daddy's smiling. This can't be too bad, right?"

"Um, you want me to wear that bloody red cloak?"

"Hmm. Maybe I look good in red."

"Okay, I've had enough. Thank you."

Sniff. Sniff. "I smell meat pies cooking in the back...no please, I don't like gravy!"

"O Lord, don't you have some chickens you can butcher instead?!"

"GET ME OUT OF HERE!"

"Whew. Mommy saved me."
