Update on Life!

I wanted to have a copy of some of the cute things that Clayton and Brody do so you all get to have the update as well.
Clayton's preschool class has finished learning the alphabet and Clayton all of the sudden knows most of it. For the last two years I have been trying to get him to tell me letters or sounds of letters and he is not interested. He has never let me teach him them. Now he loves it. He can almost say all of the alphabet and knows most of them. Thanks Miss Georgia!!!
He is also getting better at counting and can recognize 1-8. We are working on that now too.
He says the funniest things all the time. Here are a few but mind you only a few because he is full of them.
One day he had a secret for me and while he was telling me he reached around and was plugging my other ear. When I told him to take his finger out he said "I don't want any one else to hear the secret and it might get out."
He loves to call everyone sweet cheeks. I don't know where he learned it but he says it all the time now.

Brody is in the stage of grabbing everything and is getting very good at it. He is also at the stage where he would rather play with the lid he just saw you holding over the exciting toy that you are trying to give him. He is a joy, and always has smiles for everyone. He sat up for the first time by himself the other day and just today did it for about a minute. He is progressing better that we could have imagined. He got one of those exersaucers for Christmas and we have started to put him in it. He loves it. He squeals at all of his toys before he attacks them. He has started to squeak and squeal and growl to get our attention any time he feels like we are ignoring him, or when he is excited by something. He has started to realize that there is a lot to look at in the house and does not always want to be bothered by people, but if you walk past him without saying anything he will holler at you.

On the more serious side, we had the echo and the EKG the other day and he will be having his heart surgery within the next 3-4 weeks for sure. They want to do it as soon as they can fit him in the schedule. And then we will progress from there. I will post again what day it will be. We should know by the end of this week for sure.

I wanted to post a thank you to everyone that has helped us especially my parents. I do not think that we would be able to do it with out them. Clayton gets all the help and attention that he needs with Grandma and Grandpa here. He would not be as happy if it weren't for them. We love you very much mom and dad!!
