20 month year old Houston has blown us away the last couple days with a bunch of new words seemingly out of the blue.  Last night after dinner he loudly called his Nona (Mary's mom) NOH - NAH!  Then at bedtime he told me nigh-night!  I rushed him back to Eawyn's room so he could demonstrate for Mary and his sister and sure enough he happily repeated it.  Tonight he just referred to his little brother Nathan as Nay-Nay.  While there's a definite trend of words beginning with N he's also saying things like Pa-pa (Mary's dad) and "eat" now too.  I can't wait to hear what he says next.

This is the hat I finished up for Eawyn a couple days ago.  She grabbed a skein of yarn and wanted to buy it while we were wandering around Jo-Ann's tracking down a couple other things I needed.  It was inexpensive acrylic so I humored her.  It's totally my own design and I'm fairly proud of the stem design I came up with at the top where I decreased it to the point where I could throw in a little cabling.

I made a hat for Houston as well that I finally finished up yesterday too- he's just harder to photograph.  It's based on the London Beanie pattern I used for Nathan's second hat, only it follows the pattern exactly.  It will actually stretch enough to fit my head, but isn't tall enough to provide the ear coverage I prefer for this type of hat.  I have plenty of yarn left though so I may make a modified version for myself that I can use for cycling.

Have you figured out what your (or your kids') Halloween costume will be this year?  What's it going to be?

Yep!  We've been ready for over a month.  Eawyn will be a witch and Houston is going to be a lion.
