The Sprayberry's: Octoberfest

I told you Isaac had big feet.

This is how I found him the other day. Sneaking a pair of daddy's asics out of the closet for a little dress up time. His expression says it all. I laughed.

Well, I finally finished the sewing class and my cherished outfit that I made through blood, sweat, and tears. (Okay, maybe not through sweat. ;) )

I was so relieved that it fit and my precious money hadn't gone to waste at the moment. The only repair to do is to move the buttons up a little. We don't want nipples showing now that we're almost two.

The class really was helpful. That is until I came home two days ago after buying more fabric to make a second overalled johnny. I got to sewing right away, real excited like. Everything was going perfect--I was smooth sailing--really big headed too about my beautiful success at johnny #2. "Ha, this is a piece of cake I thought. I'll be teaching the next sewing class in no time," I smirked to myself. And then it came time for the back to be sewn and the crotch to be finished. Wouldn't you know it, I forgot how to make the whole darn thing!! I was livid, and still am actually.

To my credit people, we had a room full of women in full anticipation of learning to sew and needing the teacher's undivided attention along with myself. So, everytime I was on to the next step (and there are a lot of steps mind you) she would come over, hold my piece of fabric for me, and quickly say "okay honey, you do this and this and this next" all while contorting the fabric in quite unusual ways.

My sweet husband is going to take a look at it for me. He claims he is better at geometry and puzzles, which he is. But if he figures it out without even having to take this darn class...grrrr.

Without further ado, here's the finished product itself.

I figured Isaac really liked it because when I mentioned taking it off this is what he did.

Here's the cute back.

"Oh, so that's why you were running. You wanted to put bunny's foot in your ear?"

If he is ever holding his bunny this is how you can find him. His precious bunny foot goes a lot of places these days. Into his ear, between his big and second toe, in his eye, in my eye... We are not really sure his obsession with this specific rabbit's foot. But I can't complain...it makes me smile like no other.

Bunny and Isaac are big pals.

He really enjoys playing in the barn yard like most bunnies do.

Being thrown into boxes is a favorite pastime. (Let's hope bunny doesn't experience the toilet anytime soon)

Speaking of bunny, something tragic happened to him of late. What started as a teeny tiny little hole has led to a large opening in bunny's foot. We knew it was only a matter of time. Bunny feet only live a few years you know.

After his precious bunny, his number two obsession would be anything with wheels.

(Maybe I can teach him to vacuum next...)

His number three obsession is probably practicing his high pitched screams.

His fourth (and rivals his second) obsession is throwing things. He LOVES more than anything to throw thing. I'm in the process of teaching him that we only throw balls. So far this is the look he gives me when I have to reprimand him.

Then it turns into this.

How do they come out of the womb knowing how to do this manipulative smile tactic??

But MY obsession lately?

His contagious laugh!!

We still can't believe our little buddy turned 20 months at the end of September. I am loving this stage of life with him. He is so much more aware and finally saying real words now. He still loves the outdoors and anything remotely boyish. He understands everything we say. We could not be more thankful for this tiny blessing that came into our lives 20 months ago...
