Step by Step...

No - that's not a throwback reference to the New Kids on the Block...rather a reference to Clayton's emerging walking skills.  Most days, he'll walk from Ryan to I (and vice versa) upon request and on occasion he's taken a few steps spontaneously.  He's up to 4-5 steps at a time.  He's free-standing more often and is just generally a ton of fun to be around.  Just a few photos from the week.

It's sill hot in Milwaukee, so we have our room air conditioners going.  As a result, we have the doors to our living and dining room closed.  Clayton LOVES to stand at and bang on the glass.

Clayton makes the greatest faces. I will never be able to capture all of them, but here are a few snapshots of some adorable looks:

Everyone loves a diaper-clad baby right?  Check out that belly!  By that way, if you ask Clayton where his belly is, he'll pat it for you!

Here's the Week 46 picture.  You'll note the green bird, which is currently one of Clayton's favorite toys.  He's great at giving it hugs and kisses.
