In the past few months we have seen a dramatic difference in our first born. As he ages he is finally developing some reasoning skills and therefore becoming such a joy to be around. Most days he is busy telling us stories (and talking NON STOP), pretending to be a fireman, pretending to be a baby jaguar or something along those lines. He is still funny and has an impressive vocabulary. He has loved books for quite some time now...he has tons of them memorized...seriously long books. Clay loves to help out (as long as it is his idea). He really enjoys standing on a stool and helping me cook dinner. From very early on Clay had us laughing and honestly, that is still his stand out personality trait. He is amazing...I have never seen a little kid take on a room of adults and have them all interested and laughing at what he is talking about. A few weeks ago I had a doctor's appointment and Clay and Clif came in to the room with me to see the picture of Clay's new baby brother or sister! (Yes, you read that right...another Kennedy is on the way.) Clay was not at all interested in looking at the picture he was stressed that we were about to give him a shot. Then Clay and Clif went back out into the waiting room and then Clay started telling the room full of strangers that there was "a wittle, tiny baby in my Mommy's tummy and we're going to squeeeeeeze it out!" What in the world. Clif said it went on for about 10 minutes and everyone was cracking up...which of course made Clay even more excited to entertain.
When I look at Clay I am amazed that he will be the pattern that all of his siblings will follow. I know that he will probably exhibit a lot of behavior that they will avoid! But I know that he will love them all whole-heartedly as he loves everything...after he warms up to them. He really enjoys Evs these days as long as she isn't coming towards what he is playing with.
We are excited about our new baby...although it was a bit of a shock. We will meet this newest addition in mid-July.
Merry Christmas, too! We are actually celebrating Christmas on the 26th so that Doc & Mam can be with us.
