Bowling

This past weekend we attended a birthday party for Hannah at the bowling alley. It was Brinley's first time bowling and she really got into it! She thought it was fun waiting for her ball to roll down the lane (which took forever) and then counting how many pins she knocked down. She scored a 50 for her first game (with bumper rails), so not too shabby!

Clayton also LOVED bowling! His paw paw would sit him up by the lane with the ball and let him push it. Clayton would squeal with delight every time he did it (for 2 hours!) and every time he wasn't "bowling" he was crawling to be up there and crying when we stopped him.

I guess we are going to have to make a bowling night a ritual at our house!

Happy Valentines day!!!!

Clayton's first steps

I have learned that if I blog about my kids not doing something, they will quickly prove me wrong. On January 28th, Clayton took his first steps! He has only done it a few more times since then, but he is getting more interested in walking. He will now hold your hand and walk in front of you and LOVES walking behind his push toys. In fact, he uses his push toys, trash cans, dog food bin, chairs to get where ever he wants to go, just like a walker! It seems easier to me for him to learn to walk than to do this, but this little man is doing things on his own terms!

Here is a video of his first steps

Clayton has also become a master climber. He can climb stairs like a pro and onto any little chair and sit there like a big boy. His new favorite feat is to climb on the fire place, crawl to the end by the couch and then almost leap over to get on the couch. It gives mom a heart attack every time he does it, but he thinks it is the most fun in the world....little boys!
