Hats!

Truman loves hats. He loves to wear them, and he likes to say the word (sounds like "at"). Here, a few of his recent favorites.


Yes, another version of the Thanksgiving Day crown. He didn't love this one so much. He made it at daycare, so maybe there was some traumatic episode during the creative process. We'll never know.


Cheerfully modeling his new winter hat. (He could be an extra in the Coen Brothers' movie Fargo.)


A more reflective pose.


Modeling Dad's cable knit cap (after having swiped it off the kitchen table).


Dad's hat and the calculator pencil sharpener. Life doesn't get any better than this.

T-Day

It's December already, but we're still celebrating Thanksgiving. (Well, we're still eating leftovers.) Paul's parents and our good friend Wilson joined us for a lovely meal. Truman rejected all of it (even the apple pie and whipped cream! Whose child is this?), but that might be because he helped himself to the cheese, crackers, and hot appetizers we served first. Oh well. We still had fun.

Hanging out with Granddad and Grandmommy on the stairs. (Finger in mouth thanks to those pesky 2-year molars coming in!)



A couple of days after Thanksgiving we went to the annual Chuy's Children's Parade. It's a benefit parade put on by a popular local restaurant, and it's essentially Austin's version of the Macy's Day Parade (which Truman enjoyed watching this year, by the way). Truman was a bit overwhelmed by all of the people, bands, floats, etc. It was LOUD.



Paul and Truman take in Horton as he glides through downtown.



Hooray, we found Cooper! Unfortunately we didn't meet up with him until the end of the parade, but he and Truman enjoyed running around on the grounds of the Capitol, which is out of frame behind the black fence.


Hope you had a terrific holiday!
