Cowboy Nathan

Nathan's current favorite video of himself. Aunt Katie gave him this hat recently and Nathan thinks it is pretty darn cool.

Sweet Video of Caleb

From 2012-01-21

Here is Caleb at 10 weeks. All smiles. Nathan loves his brother dearly. I keep finding Nathan hugging Caleb which means he is straddled over him hugging and kissing him. Mommy always has to intervene. Caleb doesn't seem to mind. When Nathan gets off he says, "Awe, that is so sweeeeet."

New Baby Caleb

Caleb Mitchell was born in November 12, 2011. My goal was to deliver him vaginally and that was achieved. My other goal was to forego the epidural and that was also achieved. YAHOO! Caleb weighed in at 7lbs 5oz, a bit smaller than his brother, Nathan.

At his two month visit he weighed 11lb 11.8oz. That is from all the ice cream, spinache, sweet potatoes and steak I've been eating.

I am pretty much just posting so that I don't lose this blog like the previous one.

Nathan's Sudden New Talent

Shortly after Cameron got home from work today, Nathan began rummaging through his toy bin and found the harmonica that we received at an Astro's game last fall. Cameron showed him how to use it and Nathan has had tons of fun with it ever since.

January Birthdays!

For as long as I can remember, January has been a month for birthdays. Mine is January, 29th, my dad's is the 11th, my Mimi's is the 6th. There are also a few other Reynolds celebrating in January. Well it only multiplied when I became a Clark. Lynne's birthday is on January 10th, Cameron and John both celebrate on January 12th and now my newest brother-in-law, Matt, also has a January birthday, January 11th! So sometime in the month of January the Clarks always make a point of celebrating all the January birthdays. We celebrated today at John and Lynne's and here are a few of the pictures I took. We spent some time this evening looking at old photos. Nathan was very interested in the photos of his dad and aunties. In the photos you'll see Nathan opening a birthday card with delight. Sarah gave Cameron a singing birthday card that played the Chicken Dance:) Last year she sent Cameron a card that played "Dayo" and Nathan still has not lost interest in this card. (She knew she was really getting the card for Nathan:) The batteries in those cards definitely last a long time. I used to think that they probably wouldn't last long from all the card brousers listening to the songs. I won't have to worry about that anymore.

Typical Evenings

Last fall Cameron bought a keyboard. Ever since then he has been working hard to be able to play classics such as "Midnight Train", "Piano Man", "Tiny Dancer" and a few others that I can't remember. Nathan often likes to jump in during the practice sessions.

 

Post Cruise Pics

The night we cruised back into the Chesapeae Bay Cameron received an email from Southwest informing us that our flight was CANCELLED! Apparently there was a huge snowstorm heading up the east coas that was expected to postpone/delay and cancel lots of flights. Southwest tried to do the prudent thing and cancel certain flights ahead of time so that people wouldn't be stranded at the airport. It turned out that the snowstorm didn't really hit Baltimore and there was no snow to be seen at the time of our expected departure. We made the best of things by staying at the Hyatt at the Inner Harbor, the place to stay if you are in Baltimore. Our flight was rescheduled 28 hours later than the first flight so we had almost 2 days to kill. The first day was very cold and did snow a little bit. The highlight was that we got to see my lovely cousin Kate who could not make the cruise because of her demanding nursing schedule at the famous Johns Hopkins Hospital. What a joy to visit with her!
The next day we headed to the Children's Museum in Baltimore. The toddler section was undergoing renovation so we couldn't play there. Nathan did find tons of enjoyment in the Diner. He spent loads of time making scrambled eggs, waffles, burgers, and serving up fruit.
