Happy Friday!

At a little over four months John Clayton is rolling, chattering and in general a happy little guy. He sucks his thumb, which is super sweet, if a bit of a bad habit. And along with the rolling came the sleeping on his stomach, almost immediately. He does a great job sleeping in his crib at night and he and Henry both nap in the late afternoon, which is helpful. He'll usually sit in his Bumbo with us during dinner, and it's nice to have everyone together for at least a couple of minutes.

Henry is also chattering away, with actual words and sentences. Here are a few of his thoughts and insights lately:

"I'd like that one milk"
"Daddy sleep in mama's bed"
"The camera is way up high" (lots of things are way up high, it turns out)
"Airplane!  I don't see it Airplane."
"I climb up Henry's stool"
"Daddy's seatbelt" (when looking at Clay's regular belt)
"It's mama's baby John"

He's a busy little guy, and we've been enjoying summer treats like popsicles and ice cream. He eats a lot of broccoli and fruit, and his honey yogurt at breakfast is a highlight of the day. Everything else is hit or miss -- one day he'll eat a whole sandwich and the next day he'll take one bite and decide he's over it. He's still a big fan of Elmo, and we watch Nemo and Cars sometimes, too. He also likes trains and can name all of the cars in his train book.

Here he is, doing a little shopping:

He was SO excited about an Elmo birthday party:

Passed the heck out:

Soy muy fuerte:

Tubby time!

Both weigh about 17 lbs right now:

Henry loves to help Clay cook, but doesn't always follow directions as well as one might hope:

Have a great weekend!
