We haven't updated you all about our boys lately. Barrett just turned 25 months. He is fully potty trained and has been for almost two months now, he is spending a good amount of time in his bedroom due to his two year old behavior, and he is working to become a gymnast it seems. On Saturday, he had his first haircut. We went to Mr. Tom, who is the son of the man that cut Grandpa Clayton's hair. Mr. Tom cut Mr. Scott's hair and did David and Patrick Clayton's first haircut too. It was only appropriate that we continue the tradition. Miss Sue brought pictures with us to remind Mr. Tom of David and Patrick's first cut. He enjoyed the walk down memory lane and was ready to start on Barrett. I thought he was great but unfortunately Barrett didn't feel the same. He screamed through the first half of the cut and calmed down a bit when he saw "shrucks" (trucks) sloshing through the mud on the TV. You can tell from the pictures that Mr. Tom gave Barrett a lollipop and he had a death grip on it the entire time. I am surprised that he ended up with an even cut but he did and he looks handsome. It really made him look like a big boy to me. I think he looks a lot like Stephen now too.
Wyatt just turned 10 months and is such a happy baby. We have been calling him "Happy Feet" because he does some of the funniest things with his feet. I cannot describe it but it cracks us up. Wyatt is waving bye-bye, clapping, and...he took his FIRST STEPS last night!!! He is looking like a mixture of Frankenstein and Charlie Chaplin. You'll have to see that too. Hopefully, Stephen will post some video footage. Oh, Wyatt and Barrett are playing together a lot more and enjoying each other which is nice for us. Wyatt loves to push this truck but every time he starts Barrett jumps on and jets off like Fred Flintstone. Wyatt has been doing a good job of keeping up...that may be what has expedited his walking.
Your boys are growing so fast---looks like Flick was enjoying the snow even if Barrett wasn't too sure. We've had 35-40 degrees all week, must be spring soon:) Wyatt's dancing reminds me of the "fancy steps" Zack would do at that age too. Enjoy, enjoy.
This was wonderful. Your comments are always excellent, Kellie. The video was great -- the beautiful people, the running commentary, the DOG. I couldn't believe the snow didn't bother Flick. Mine have to be carried to a bare spot under a tree when we have our infrequent snowfalls -- never mind that my own toes might be somewhat chilled.
We were all so sorry you didn't come to our gathering this week. It's been spectacular, starting Wednesday and ending today. Lots of sightseeing and fun stuff going on. Come another time -- you are welcome to stay with me if you like.
Love, Grandma
Thanks so much for sharing the video of the boys. They are so adorable - cutest little boys I have ever seen. They are growing so fast!! Barrett was too funny in the snow. I couldn't believe how much snow there was. Who taught Barrett to jump off of the coffee table like that and then do a flip? I can't believe how good he is and no fear. Of course, I have to admit it makes me a little nervous to see him jumping off of a glass table.
This is adorable. Wow, y'all got a lot of snow! Wyatt is so precious. We've hardly seen any pictures of him. Barrett is too! I am so impressed with his gymnastics. Jude is not that coordinated yet. Cutie pies. Can't wait to see them, guess it will be this summer.
