Stephen is now sitting (and blowing bubbles). This toy he is playing with is for laying babies down so they can kick and the toy makes music. It is also for when babies can sit. So now he can touch the fun parts of the toy.
Sitting without assistance
My three kids. It is SO hard to just get Clayton to look at the camera, let alone smile. So here is the best picture of about 6 attempts. He really was trying to look pleasant.
Jenelle's class had a Nursery Rhyme Festival last Friday. She dressed as a mouse (it was actually a cat uniform--graciously give to us so I didn't have to make something, but she had wanted to be a mouse and thought it looked like a mouse, so we didn't tell her any different). She loved wearing it. Her actual part in the Festival was "the dish ran away with the spoon". I got a video of it, but forgot to get a picture of it. She did a good job.
Mike's mom came for the Nursery Rhyme Festival. That was neat to have her there, too. Thanks for coming, Mom.
The three of us (and Stephen's stroller). Clay couldn't handle looking at the camera. Have I mentioned he has a problem with focusing?:)
Stephen can hold his own bottle when he's in a horizontal position. He's growing up.
We went to a pancake breakfast at Jenelle's school on Saturday morning. The extended fam was there, too. Here is Mike's mom holding Matt and Jess' new little Alayna--one month old that day.
Uncle Mike and Ethan
Mike was working on rain gutters on Saturday. Jenelle and Clay wanted to "work" too, so they hammered the fence.
I don't even remember this occasion, but probably Grandma had probably helped us out and watched the kids. We're very thankful for the love and support our parents give us.
The kids love their umbrellas or "lelas" as Stephen calls them. They are just waiting for a chance to use them in the rain.
Me and my special middle boy.
