a sideways video...sorry

Justin is a frog.

And...Justin being a Froggie.....

Clayton is learning to walk. He is so darn adorable....

This morning both boys were playing contently in the living room (5 feet from me)...I turned around to find Clayton with a big grin on his face and happy as ever.

the parade

Nellie (Todd's Mom) and little Nellie came to visit this past weekend. We went to the parade on Saturday. Here is Patty, Nellie, Todd, Little Nellie, and Justin (or his yellow hat)



I was getting a bit tired of holding Clayton, so my friends Dad took him....Clayton's not too sure about him...but stayed with him for a long time



Justin sat with Todd the whole time...didn't want to be up front getting candy...

My little helper

Yesterday I watched Reese and Carsten for an hour or so. Reese was designated "Clayton sitter"...self appointed. He loved it. Clayton loves both boys so much. They come up and play with him and love to make him giggle and laugh.

end of week 3-swimming

We ended our 3rd week of swim lessons. Justin still doesn't like to get in, but his new teacher takes him and hold him and makes him be in the water...no sitting on the steps. So, she looked at me yesterday and asked if she could just "dunk" him. I said sure with a nod. So, this is a bit later. He was a trooper. Last night in the tub he was dipping his ear in and getting the back of his head wet like he did at lessons...good signs. Maybe he trusts this teacher more? Here is a video, compliments of Aunt Dana.

End of Phase I - Swim lessons

Well, we finished our 2 weeks of swim lessons...today was the best day yet...no screaming to get into water...still takes time to lure Justin in...but after 15 minutes in pool, they got to go outside and play....
