Jacob the Fashionisto

Urban Dictionary.com's definition of a fashionisto: "The male version of a fashionista, some what of a metrosexual, a lot of (brand name) lables, a lot of time spent in the hair studio; the "look" is everything."

Well, so maybe the hair studio thing does not apply in his case, but nonetheless, Jacob was in Nordstrom's Spring fashion show this past Saturday and he certainly lived up to the 'fashionisto' part! Thankfully he was over his horrible cold. Kelley's little Mr. Aidan was in it too, and of course our boys were the stars of the show!

Jacob modeled swimwear by Hatley in some cool blue & red colors, then he added his own twist to the outfit by clutching onto his sage green satin blankie when he walked out. Not exactly the ultimate accessory... but I could not get that blanket away from him for anything. If only I'd had the water bottle sooner, I might have lured it away. But when she announced Jacob's name and favorite things, the crowd chuckled when she said his favorite thing was his satin blanket. Yep....there it was, hiding his cool duds. :)

An attempt at getting the boys' picture together, but Jacob is one serious moving target. Aidan is modeling his dapper new Easter duds. (LOVE the penny loafers!)

I actually had a 2nd outfit picked out for Jacob - here he's sporting Guess jeans, a "PJ Rex" shirt, and a Hatley raincoat with dinosaurs all over it. He looked soooo cute in it that I bought the jeans (they gave us 15% off for being in the fashion show).

Mama and the fashion bug.

My Poor Sick Boy

Jacob has been soooo sick this past week. It's so sad to see this little tough-guy suffer. He had the worst cold with a cough and congestion. He would look at me and stare with the most pitiful look on his face, like, "Can't you help me??" We spent a lot of time in the rocking chair, and mealtime was nothing like the hungry monster he normally is. I couldn't help but pick up the camera and snap a picture after his lunch the other day. Thankfully he is much better now....just in time for Mama to get his cold and sore throat. :(
