Clayton's first play date

Clayton got to see his friend Logan on Tuesday at their first group play date at Audrey and Lindsey's house. Clayton was moving around so much it looks like he is punching Logan. He would never do that b/c they are best friends :-).

Clayton slept almost the whole play date. I knew I shouldn't of feed him before we left b/c once he is nice and full he passes out. He still likes to sleep like a froggy....you can see that in the pictures. I tired so hard to wake him up, that is why he doesn't have pants on. He almost had to get naked, but finally I got him up.

Okay the lineup.....Kinley (5 weeks), Clayton (5 weeks), Logan (9 weeks), Audrey (9 weeks), and Ethan (9 weeks). If Clayton was streched out he is almost as long as Logan. Logan definitly has him beat on the tummy department (so cute). He will catch up soon enough. I think I have a big boy on my hands...like his daddy!

All the babies had so much fun and the moms did too! It is really funny to see the differences between the girl babies and the boy babies. The girls make girly noises....it is so cute! We can't wait to go to Audrey's (and Lindsey's) house again!

5 weeks

Clayton all bundled up in his car seat. (He really hates that white hate...but it looks like he likes it)

We haven't seen much of daddy. They were combining by our house, so I took Clayton out for pictures. Of course he is sleeping....he was wide awake right before this picture :-(.

Clayton in vintage Babygro. This is Blake's coming home from the hospital outfit. It is a size 3 months (which Clayton already wears), but as you can see it is pretty small. I put it on him b/c Patty and Denny were babysitting him this night.

Clayton loving Uncle Sean.

One month old!

How is my baby one month old? Wow time flies......

This week he had his first "big boy" bath....in the actual bath tub. He LOVED it! Usually he cries when I give him a bath but he really enjoyed kicking his legs and the warm water. It definitly makes bath time WAY more enjoyable for the both of us. I can't wait to take him to the Ozarks.....hopefully he takes after his mommy and loves to swim!

On Sunday Clayton and Aunt Taylor took a nap on the couch while Alisha and I started Clayton's scrapbook. Alisha did most of the work.....but I did get a few impressive pages done and alot done around the house.

Last week Clayton really started focusing more on my face when I talk to him. He is starting to look around more and really having a personality. And boy when he is hungry he is hungry....that is about the only time he is fussy (thank god!). I guess he was fussy this week b/c of a really sore bottom.....we pretty much solved that problem thanks to Lotrimin and Desitin. I am so glad it is almost healed!

Clayton's first bachelorette party

My friend Sara Brown is getting married Nov. 8th. This past saturday we celebrated with a bachelorette party for her. We got spa treatments then started the party at Amanda's house. It was a lot of fun to see everyone.....especially Kelly my bff from Chicago. Here are a few pics....Aunt Alisha helped me watch him so I could have a good time too!

This last one was a photo shoot me and Clayton did. I think this one is really good and he looks so innocent. Watch out ladies!

It's a girl!

Michelle and Brandon (my sister and brother-in-law) just found out that they are expecting a baby girl on March 3. Clayton will have a baby girl cousin to play with. We couldn't be happier for them! YEAH!

3 weeks.....smiles and sleep.

SMILES!!!! It is so hard to catch him in action....
here are a few attempts! Does he have my lips
or what?



Here is what I wake up to every morning....
could he be any cuter? what a peaceful little
guy. He sleeps pretty good next to me in his
bassinet (which was mine when I was a baby).

Tanner's apple orchard

On Saturday me, Clayton, Mom, Alisha, Taylor, Rhendy, and Logan (1 month older than Clayton) went to Tanner's apple orchard. Wow is that a hike! It was a really cool place that I am sure the boys would love in couple years. I couldn't believe how busy it was! We had to stand in line to go into the market to get apple cider etc and the food line was even longer.





Clayton enjoyed being outside, but he pretty much slept the entire time. When I got him out of his car seat to take pictures he decided he was really hungry....so we didn't get the best pictures.





Clayton and Logan....here comes trouble in a couple years.....

2 weeks!

Clayton went to the doctor on Tuesday for his 2 week appointment. Blake and I thought for sure he would be weighing in close to 10 lbs....but he is only at 9lbs 1 oz. He isn't back up to his birth weight yet, but Dr. Boe wasn't concerned....he said he is growing and gaining just fine. His stats were:

height 22inches 95%

weight 9lbs 1 oz 90%

head circumference 50%

I can't believe how much he has changed in two weeks. He is more alert and awake (which I love) and quite the little eater. Blake and I joke and call him a little monster in the evening because he can't get enough to eat. I guess that is a good sign though!

Clayton and I have been going on the constitution trail for walks and this week we made our first trip to Target and Walmart. I couldn't have a better baby....he loves his carseat and his stroller. I better enjoy this while it lasts b/c soon he will probably hate shopping with mommy....especially if he is like his daddy :-).
