Baby Clark Turns ONE!

Baby Clark turned one last Friday.  I have been waiting on this day for a year!!!  He's the most cuddly little red head you've ever met, but he is a PISTOL!  He's off all medications, including reflux and allergy meds and is doing great.  We got the go-ahead to start introducing milk products.  I'm SO nervous, so we're taking it slow.  He's still on his RX formula - I just can't justify rocking the boat before our big move to the new house - and he's still taking 3 bottles a day.  Unlike Harrison, who I had weaned at 12 months to the day, Clark will take a bottle until he's at least 13 months.  Oh well - those fang teeth will be fine from decay, I'm sure.  haha




 Clark's party was at a park, and we walked across the street to the fire station.  They practiced stop-drop-and roll, and got to see 3 different trucks.  The firemen were so good with the kids, and all the boys were in awe!











 Clark and his first sucker - he LOVED it!







Wrapping up the sports!

We had Harrison's Karate demostration last week. He is SO into Karate - the kicks, the punches, the "HEE-YAs" - what boy would not LOVE that!? His final class was last Wednesday, immediately after Ms. Glendy's hardcore swim/water safety class.  He was wiped out, but was so excited to get his trophy that he forced his eyes open for the ceremony and crashed on the way home!















 Harrison's last soccer game is this Saturday!  This is Harrison and his best friend, Tonio.

A BIG day for the Slyes!

Today, we bought a house, Harrison learned to swim, and Clark turned ONE!!!  Please note our new address as of June 1:
4 Norvell Court
Houston TX 77024


Below is the reason for the crash course of Ms. Glendy's Swimbabies.  She teaches them to float, kick, stretch, and get to the wall.  We are having a huge childgate drilled into the pavement around the pool before we move in.  Clark is the fearless little devil that I'm most worried about now!!!

White fang... Whitest skin we've ever seen and fang teeth.

Easter 2012

The holiday started last Wednesday for us at Harrison's annual school EEH.  The hunt and the party were both successes and got him warmed up for the big EEH at the church on Saturday.  3000 eggs were gone in 3 minutes on Saturday morning.  Harrison scored some candy and toys, got to jump in a jumpy house, pet baby animals, eats lots of popcorn and cookies, get a balloon "dog," and his face painted.   



 I had to be at the church at 8am to continue our set-up, so David got the boys dressed, picked up my best friend's son (whose husband was in bed with a 102), and got them there by 1030am!  I was so impressed!  :)

 The allergist said I could slowly start breaking Clark into milk protein around 12 months.  I let him taste a sugar cookie, but we paid for it today.  :(
 Tonio and Harrison - best friends!!! 
 So excited about the Easter Bunny, Harrison crawled in bed with us 30 minutes earlier than usual this morning.  There was no calming him down, so I made him wait until the clock said 7:00.  He watched that clock so intently, then got so excited at 6:57, that I just couldn't bear to make him wait those extra 3 minutes!


 The climber - last week, he climed up Harrison's red chair, on to the table, then onto the end table, and was standing on it, holding my glass lamp.  I could have DIED!
 EB brought Harrison a trio of superhero costumes - all with capes!
 .....and a new superhero Smart Cycle game!
