Allison loves Claim Jumper

One of Allison's (and Nana's) favorite places to eat is Claim Jumper. She loves to get their fancy Mac and Cheese and frozen grapes. 

Hey Mom, I know what this is for...

Clayton decided to try and use his nose sucker all by himself. I think it is funny because he always puts his thumb in the bottom of it to hold it.  He is such a funny little guy!

Clayton's 18 Month Stats

At Clay's 18 month doctor appointment he weighed 22 lbs. 8 oz. and he was 33 3/4 inches tall.  He is in the 11th percentile for weight and  88th percentile for height. 

Old Fashioned Hair Curlers

Allison wanted curly hair so we tried the old fashioned sponge rollers.  However, we did it too close to bed and she wouldn't sleep with them like I used to. We took them back out and we will try it another day when we can leave them in longer. 

Alli's Hannah Montana guitar

Alli got this Hannah Montana (or as she says Hannah Ontana) guitar today!  She has been wanting this guitar forever and we found it really cheep at a store so she used her Christmas money to get it.  Clay likes jamming on it too!

Wii

Daddy and Alli playing Wii boxing! It really wore her out!

Clay sleeping the the chair

Clay was really tired, he fell asleep in the chair.

Wii Tennis

Marshall and Alli were battling it out in Wii tennis.

Athena

Athena loved Allison's little couch!

Clayton's new push cart

Clay waits patiently for me to get the dishwasher unloaded so he can steal my cart.

Clay's Walker

I got this out for Alivia, but Clay likes climbing in it!  It is kinda nice because he can't get out out of it until we help him. I'm not sure why he is putting his hands through the leg holes in this picture. 

Clay and Alli were sitting together eating cantaloupe.

New Sippy Cups

Clayton had his 18 month well baby check-up and the doctor told us that he should be done with the bottle by now...ooops! Later that day I got out 3 of our sippy cups, filled them all with milk and let him pick.  He nicely lined them up (on coasters), but rarely drank from them. We've tried them before, but I don't think he actually sucks on them. He can down a bottle in a few minutes and gets no where with the cups. Hmmm!
