Kilts and Cows

He can put some accessories on his Christmas list for Santa. Looks like he could use some hose.

I bet he's not regimental. LOL The pics are cute, love 'em.

Ugh. He hates wearing socks and shoes. Since he was born in July, he was small enough that we breezed through the first winter with no problem. But now that he's gone a whole spring/summer/fall with rarely wearing socks, much less shoes, we're having a hard time getting him to adjust to them.

Can't really blame him, though... I hate wearing shoes, too.

And thanks for the kind words, everyone.

He was not regimental (though if I'd been in a kilt on the farm when I was his age, I would have been; spent a lot of time in just a white t-shirt, much to my wife's embarrassment when the old photos come out at family gatherings).

He wore a kilt at his baptism, too. Unfortunately, I had my dad use my camera for pictures and, even though he owns a digital camera himself, he managed to mess up pretty much every single shot he took. Ah, well.

I'll try to get some more shots of him in the near future. He was just starting to take a few steps on his own at the games, so it wasn't as easy to get pictures of him standing. Now he's practically trying to run, so... should be easier (amazing how fast he's progressed once he figured the basics out).

Incedibly cute and a credit to his parent.
Look forward to more shots.

And so are those cows. Gah I love fuzzy cows.

Someone asked me what tartan Finley's kilt was... it's Ancient Campbell.

Little dudes in kilts rock!

ehiker - from whom did you order your son's kilt? My son is 5 mo. old today and I'd like to purchase one for him. Baptism, Christmas and all that...

thank,
Rob

Rob,

Finley's kilt came from babykilts.com.

As it so happens, if you check out the baby in the bottom-right corner of the home page, you'll see he's also a babykilt.com model!

That was him at about 6 months or so.

Cheers,

Ethan

We spend so much time waiting for those first steps, then all of sudden you're trying to get them to slow down in the house

For all the time it took for him to learn to walk, mine seems to have forgotten how and now only has two speeds: asleep & 90 miles an hour
