October

 

Drew built that whole tower IN the block box. Such a good idea! :)

Drew's first ever clip on earings from Great-Oma! She LOVES them!

Drew was scared of the "yucky stuff" inside pumpkins at first, but once she realized it was just a little cold, she LOVED it and she scooped out my WHOLE pumpkin!

Clint loves resting his head on all things soft. He had been resting his head on Drew's chair and I missed getting a picture of it but this was a pretty cute consolation picture!

Clint wanted in on the action!

He wouldn't put his arms down-he was doing the Frankenstein! Such a doll!!

 

A cute walking video!

Drew at her pre-school parade!

She did SUCH a good job!

She is, very obviously, dressed as Gabby Douglas, the Olympic Gymnast!

Here is Drew and Ms Amy, her teacher!

 

Walking in the parade!! We were SOOOO proud of her!!

 

I got some other great videos of Clint but if they are over 30 seconds, I am not able to load them. I will try to load them to youtube and see if I can import the link onto the blog!

Closer!

Clint is REALLY close! :)
He can sort of move forward, but as you see, it isn't exactly graceful! It is a combination bear crawl/crawl! :)

Drew's swim class-first time with us not in the pool!

Updates-Clint is 6 months old and Drew is still cute!

Someone is so close to crawling! He loves to scoot all over and pull up to his knees.. let's hope he doesn't start too soon!

Clint had his shots today and Drew held his hand the whole time! It couldn't have been sweeter! Clint barely cried and she knows it is because she was there for him!

In other news:
 Drew got a new scooter...and helmet!

 Clint got an awesome hat...



 Clint likes to party topless...

 Drew finally caught/picked up Cameron, much to her delight (not as much his)

 Drew learned to "pose" for the camera! She is FINALLY playing dress up and I LOVE it!! These are her friends Lily and Caroline, who taught her all she knows!

 Drew is trying to become the incredibly cute hulk!

Clinton and Drew bug babbles

Drew and Clinton love each other so much! I love this video!

Drew loved the Dutch Dancers again this year!

We had to drag her off the dance floor at the wedding, too!

Drew clearly had a little competition on the dance floor!

Jon provided some cheap entertainment!

One more video of Clint for good measure! :) He likes the jumper more than the exersaucer; if you put him in there he will try to jump anyways! :)

Clint's first feeding!

Clint had his first rice cereal-compliments of the worlds best big sister!

 Here she is showing Clint her belly button! :) He loved it!

 BIG hugs for "baby brother" as she calls him!

 Squishy face... because, well, why not? :)

 Drew started her swim classes up again! She absolutely LOVES the water and after just two classes is kicking SO strong (and from her knees which is amazing because they said most kids kick more like a bicycle kick) and floating really well on her back! Maybe we WILL have an olympic swimmer in the family yet! The smile on her face from when she gets in the water to when she gets out makes my heart happy!

 Clint has a new favorite toy! He doesn't mind the exersaucer or jumper toy, but LOVES this thing! He would stand here for hours if we let him!

 The crazy part is that he almost tries to WALK when he is in it and completely stands up! The video below shows it pretty well! Such a big boy already at 4 months old!

 Rootbeer float cupcakes and pink lemonade cupcakes! The kids tried to drink them! :)

 We got this "speedo" from a friend and we just couldn't resist taking a picture of him in it! HILARIOUS!

 Drew wanted to stand on her daddy's legs like Clinton had been doing in his speedo! "Drew's turn!"

 Silly Daddy!!

CHEESING the camera.... Jon and I both love the camera so we can't attribute this trait to one or the other.. :)

Drew bug videos

Drew bug putting herself to bed for the first time. I was so proud of her but also REALLY sad. Thankfully for me, I turned of the light and she came and crawled into bed with me! :)

She loves to sing the 5 little monkeys song.. I should have taken a video earlier because at this point, she is clearly tired and skipping a lot of the words. Still cute! :)

Strong opinions from such a little guy...

Such a little talker!! :)
