Rivers is Crawling!

This video was taken a couple of days ago. Rivers just started crawling about a week ago and is improving leaps and bounds every day. He gets farther and farther and faster and faster every day. While the prospect of two kids moving in two different directions is daunting, seeing them grow and reach developmental milestones is very rewarding. Clark and Rivers are entertaining eachother and playing together very well for the most part. Clark sometimes gets a little too rough but Rivers will be able to hold his own very soon.

Halloween

Rivers is half-sitting now. He gets in this position all by himself. He doesn't like to stay in one place for long so he is always ready to go.

A blurry picture but still cute.

An attempt at getting a pic of them together. Neither of them were in the mood I guess.

Clark's first time trick-or-treating. The first couple houses we went to Clark went in to the people's house when they opened the door but he quickly caught on.

Clark's bucket was getting so heavy he could hardly carry it. When it was time to go home he cried, "trick or treat, trick or treat" I guess he had a lot of fun trick-or-treating.

Rivers 6 Months

Rivers is starting to eat cereal. He is not too excited about it but he doesn't hate it either.

Of course Clark had to get in on the picture action.

Clark's Big Boy Room

Clark's birthday present from Mommy and Daddy was a big boy room. He has done great so far (he has slept one night in his new room). The funniest thing about his new room is he is able to get himself out of bed in the morning. David had the day off today and we were sleeping in and we hear Clark walking through the house calling for us. He seems so grown up sleeping in a bed and walking out of his room in the morning. Pretty soon he'll probably be getting himself some breakfast and turning on cartoons. Maybe David and I will get to sleep in a little. Yeah ,I'm sure that is never going to happen but it doesn't hurt to dream, right? Rivers now has Clark's crib but he has yet to sleep through the night in it, wish me luck on that one.

Waiting for the party to get started.

Instead of a cake I made ice cream cone cupcakes and had the kids decorate them (see below).

Clark, 2, and his friends 11 months, 3, 4 and 5. A great group of kids made Clark's birthday extra special. Clark had so much fun playing with them and sharing his special day with them.

Clark couldn't be happier getting a birthday car ride.

Enjoying birthday dinner with friends.

Pinata time. See video of Clark below.

Opening presents.

While the other kids decorated their cupcake cones, Clark ate his.
