Sledding into the New Year

We have been having some great weather.  Great meaning warm enough to bring the little guy out for some major sledding sessions.  Today Grammie joined us and well scroll down to see what happens.

We think he was saying lets go sledding!!

Grammie getting into the mood :)

Of course Moose was there with us!

We had to check out the TRAC-TOR.

First trip down Yippeeeeee.

Love him!

After his first trip of the day.  Check Moose out in the back.

Grammie and Clint's FIRST AND ONLY trip down.  See why below ...

Grammie steamrolled Clint.  They both bopped out of the sled.

I call this the George Costanza snow pose.

Hooray for the best Grammie/Photographer/Mom!!!!!!!!!!

Mr. Big Boy

Recently, Clint has been working on feeding himself with a spoon.  This morning I decided to let him give it a try all on his own.  The subject YOGURT.  As you can see it was A LOT of messy fun.  First, he tried the right hand and spoon, then just the left hand and then the left hand and spoon.  He didn't forget to try just drinking it too.  What a fun morning :)  Happy Sunday Everyone!

Our cousin Patti made both cakes for the celebration.  

Thanks Patti!

 

Clint received wonderful gifts, but the best gift was spending the day with family and friends who love him.

Clint's Great Aunt Penny sent him the Birthday Boy shirt.

 Thank you to all that attended, those of you who sent birthday wishes/gifts and for just loving him :)

Happy 1st Birthday Clint - 10/29/2010

A year with Clint, how lucky can two people be ...

 Friday was the Halloween Parade at daycare [he started daycare on Monday 10/25] on his birthday.  Here are a couple of pictures of the parade.  He is a Monkey but its hard to tell in the bye bye buggy :)  

We had his first birthday party on Saturday.  Pictures to follow very soon HOPEFULLY.  Grammie hired a friend of hers to take photos of the party.

PS.  If you click on the photo it will bring it up in another window!

Pickles, Teeth Brushing and We're Home :)

Clint enjoyed many new things while we were on the road in NJ.  

He enjoyed the taste of pickles for the first time.

He also learned how to brush his teeth [which he loves btw]:

He loves the Grin & Giggles toothpaste made just for novice teeth brushers

Now he is back home exploring and reconnecting with his home.  He is learning many, many new things and so are we :)

Fall Time Fun

It was a GORGEOUS day here in NJ.  It got up to 70 degrees today.  Mom and I took Clint to Demarest Farms for some Fall Time Fun. We browsed the pumpkins, went through the cornstalk maze, went for a hayride to the pumpkin patch, "picked out" pumpkins and enjoyed apple cider.  It was so much fun and a great way to be outside [NOT in the hotel room].

 As you can see we are all getting a little giddy coming up on our last week of travel.
