Here is Phoenix in one of his new casual summer outfits.
Carter's makes these "rompers" that snap all the way down. They kind of look like an old fashioned men's swim suit from the late 1800's or early 1900's! They're cute and comfy for Phoenix. He didn't really want his picture taken... he just wanted the camera!
It's difficult to tell from these photos, but he actually has 8 teeth, now (4 on the top and 4 on the bottom)! He sticks his tongue out a lot, especially if he's "busy" or concentrating on doing something or getting somewhere! And, when he's "done" eating, he'll just open his mouth and push his last bite full back out... sticking his tongue out and wiggling it back and forth until the food falls off! He does it very quickly, sometimes before we can catch it --- "calling all dogs"... "snack time"... "clean up on aisle 4"!
We went to the Bend Summer Festival this past weekend (in 96 degree heat) and decided to try the new backpack carrier. Here are a couple of photos of both Steph and Lisa with the pack on. For those of you who are observant... yes, both photos were taken in the same location. We were taking turns carrying him and this intersection was where we swapped (and decided to take a few snap shots)!
Phoenix really seemed to enjoy it all (the view, while still being very close to his mommies!). He's got a 5 point harness and a lot of padding all around. But, we'll have to do some tweaking of the adjustments for each of us, who carry him, before we take it out hiking or anything else!
We took Trey out to eat for his (belated) "birthday dinner" at The Olive Garden in Bend this week. Trey made a special request that Phoenix come, too. Usually, Steph just takes Trey and Zak to their respective birthday dinners alone, for one on one time.
During dinner, Phoenix had fun flicking the water out of his glass with a straw... and laughing loudly when he would get Trey, and managed to make a huge, watery mess!
After dinner, Phoenix gave Trey big "kisses" in the parking lot! Then Mommy (Steph) posed with her two youngest sons, Phoenix and Trey.
Trey was impressed with how much Phoenix has grown and developed.
