Return of the fish hat


…and the return of shirtless children!*

I received a knit fish hat as a shower gift from great friends when I was pregnant with Robbie. I have tried to get a few good shots of Cub wearing it, but I haven’t had much luck yet. It was next to the camera a few weeks ago and Robbie decided to put it on and run around the house. Except that it’s a bit small for him now, so he sported it yarmulke-style and tilted a bit (fish tail on the side). Here he is above, mouth full of graham crackers and a big smile for the fish hat.

Here’s another of the two below. It’s not a great shot – the boys are tugging at a toy and about to knock each other over, but I love the dogs in the background, patiently waiting for graham crackers to fall to the ground in the scuffle. When Robbie first started crawling, we were really worried about Brady. She would growl and look scared whenever he neared her. But then the “miracle of the Cheerios” happened and we haven’t been worried since. One day Robbie got restless and bored in his highchair and started flinging Cheerios at the dogs resting on the floor. Once a baby becomes a Cheerios dispenser, all is right in the Beagle-Basset Hound world.

* Ahh, yes, the kids are shirtless again. I really do dress them, you know. I think this particular morning Cub had just pooped through a onesie and Robbie had spilled juice down the front of his shirt within minutes of each other, so I stripped them both. I guess I took these pictures between that and getting them dressed again. But don’t worry, they’re not cold. It’s still hot here and very humid in the house at times.

You forgot to mention Cal and Brady, who are also interested in whatever the two are getting into.
