new clothes
Thank you for the birthday wishes for Arlo yesterday! He loved it when I read them out to him. Today is his 'real' birthday, so we got him some new clothes, and a Diesel 10 toy for his train set. Of course, that was much more exciting than the clothes.
I made him a new pair of winter pants from thick wide-wale corduroy with pockets from the Japanese 'Little Red Riding Goat' fabric I bought last week.
Should be nice and warm for winter- and luckily, he seems to like the wolf-and-goat print as much as I do.
I also printed him a pine-tree t-shirt- white onto a navy top:
Here's a picture of him blowing his candles out on his (carrot!) cake at age 1. He hasn't changed that much, has he?
Awesome pants!

Very cute. You're looking very smart in your new clothes Arlo. I love the pine trees.

Wow he really does look the same- just older of course! I love how you know names for the differnet types of corduroy- wide-wale, needle cord! Maybe that's what I need to keep warm some- wide wale coduroy pants! :)

ohhhhh! those pants! Can you pretty please make ME some for my birthday? haha. They look sooo warm and that pocket fabric is perfect. I'd never take them off.
You're right, Arlo does still look pretty much the same. still just as cute. Have you posted the picture of him on the pot on here? I still think thats one of the cutest things ever. And man that bread looks good in the last picture.

What a handsome fellow. Happy Birthday, Arlo! My "baby" is 11 years old, now. My oldest is 19, Yikes! with an 18 year old sandwiched in between. It goes by so fast.

poor you! diesel 10 means that you must sometimes have to watch the Worst Movie Ever (like I do, but i try to avoid it). Don't get me started about Thomas and the Magic Railroad. seriously.
but i love the pants!

What a sweet little boy. I love the tree shirt. Happy Birthday Arlo!
(It wasn't until yesterday when we were watching the Magic Railroad that I figured out what that thing on top of the Diesel's head was. LOL)

Happy birthday Arlo! Hope you have had a wonderful day full of hugs and joy. I bet you have played a lot with trains today? Hip hip hoorays from Stockholm, Sweden.

Haha! He does the look the same! His hairline may be a bit lower now, but that adorable cheeky baby smile is still there!
