The Many Faces of Topher

This has so be some kind of record! Me, posting twice in a row? Unheard of! Don't worry, Scott will be back posting soon, he's just had some things to do lately. We're all doing great, although Topher now has an extreme fascination with anything I'm holding and proceeds to try and grab it. Gone are the days of eating and drinking (and even talking on the phone!) in front of him. I let him have a sip of water from my cup a couple of days ago and now every I try to drink something he thinks it's for him. Not only is he gaining more control over his limbs, he's also growing out of all his clothes. I just barely ordered him some new pants from Old Navy and they're too small around the waist! They're a 6-12 month size too. What if this growth spurt keeps going on and on and we end up with a child who wears a 4T when he's 6 months? Crazy.

Anyway, since Toph is growing so fast, we wanted to show everyone what he's been up to:

Some days he just lies around looking like a bum. I try to tell him to put a bigger shirt on but kids will be kids. We'll have to work on that before he starts dating :). Scott thinks these pictures are kind of nasty because Topher looks like a fat bum, but I think his little tummy is so cute!!


Toph has also taken up boxing. Very important for fending off stuffed animals. It's the eye of the tiger...

Last but not least, Topher has taken to hanging out with flappers. We weren't concerned until he came home looking like one and spouting off about prohabition and Al Capone. As you can tell, Scott was pretty concerned...


...until I told him that Topher was just joking around :). I actually think the hat and outfit is so cute (thanks again Rachel)! Well, that's just a sample of what my day is like trying to keep up with Toph. It's a full-time job, but at least he can protect me with his mad boxing skills!
