Summer's New "Bib"

So while I was in Erie, I decided that Summer's bibs just weren't cutting it. So we went to Babies R Us and bought a shirt for two bucks that I could just slip over her head every time she ate. That way, if it got on the sleeves (which bibs don't cover) it was okay. Well, that shirt worked for a few days, until her head got bigger. And now it's a battle every time to get it on her. So yesterday, I decided to just pull out one of my own T-shirts for her to wear. And this is it:

I think she likes it a lot more!

Rhett, after putting the girls to bed, then having to go down to their room again to tell them to stop talking: "I don't want to hear one more word out of here." Claire, innocently, and just asking to clarify, "How many words, dad?"
