I think I can, I think I can

I got to go with my precious Savannah on a field trip to the Children's Theater.

We watched the play, The Little Engine That Could.

It was so good and Savannah loved it.

She had such a sweet, kindergarten class.

After the play, we went to a park and had lunch and played.  It was so much fun just being with Savannah!

Sawyer {7 months}



Wowzer.......  my life is getting so exciting.  Look at me!  I can sit up now and my brother took me for a ride on this thing that went really fast.  It was so much fun!! 

I am 7 months old!  Can you believe it?  I went to the doctor a few weeks ago.  It always starts out so nice.  The sweet doctor looks at me smiling and saying what a cute baby I am and how I look really healthy and then all of a sudden, I get a big poke in my legs and it hurts! 

Guess what?  I eat food now!  My daddy gave me a popsicle before I was really suppose to eat food and I loved it!  I love my food and my milk.  Really, the only time I get upset is when I'm hungry. 
So, they told my mommy that I weigh 18.4 pounds and that I'm in the 50-75%.  The nurse said that my height is 27 1/4 inches and that is the 75 percentile and my mommy said, "wow, we have never had a baby in the 75 percentile for height!"  Hmmmm.... I wonder what that means?

Well let me tell you about some of the things I can do now......
I roll and roll and roll to whatever I want.
I get up on my hands and knees and rock back and forth.  I know there is more to this, I just haven't figured it out yet.
I FINALLY cut two bottom teeth.  I worked and slobbered for two months before they finally shot through.
I grab everything.  I even pull hair!
I giggle a lot at my brother and sisters.  They are so sweet to me.
I can sit up really well.
I still get up sometimes around 12 or 1 in the morning.  I think my mommy is getting tired of this.  I know I should probably give her a break.  I mean, I kinda am a butterball.  But, I do go right back to sleep after I drink some milk.
I love to spit!  I just stick my tongue out and start spitting.
I am really loud with my babbling.
I even made the sound, "mama" and mommy screamed!  I think she was pretty excited.
I love to take a bath.  I splash and splash and splash that water.
Here are some pictures of me!



Pitiful

A few weeks ago, Landon crawled in my lap around 11:00 and said, "rock me."  I could not believe it but he was asleep within minutes.  I got up and got busy and thought I was having a lucky day.  I should have known.  I went to wake him up so we could go get the girls and he was on FIRE with 103 fever.  I took him to the doctor and he had a fever virus.  I had to get a picture of him.  It's not often that we get to see him so calm.  He was pitiful and I would much rather see him like this....

Or this....

Or acting like a cat....

Aldridge Gardens

I got to spend the whole day with my sweet Laurel at Aldridge Gardens in Hoover.  Who knew this 30 acre beautiful garden was right in the middle of Hoover. 

I gave Laurel my camera and these are some of the pictures she took.

She loves flowers as much as I do!

They learned all about soil and dug through dirt for worms, which was her favorite part!  They got to look at the worms under a magnifying glass

After lunch, we walked around this beautiful lake with her friends.  The day was so gorgeous.  It was perfect weather.

Laurel is taking gymnastics and will just drop down and do a split or a cartwheel or handstand.  She loves gymnastics!

Laurel loves, loves, loves her teacher, Miss Harris!

Easter Sunday

The Easter Bunny came!

He brought Sawyer a rubber ducky for his first Easter.  Sawyer is 6 months old now and is grabbing everything.  He just watches and giggles all the time.  He is a happy baby!

After church, we went to Granny and Papa's for Easter dinner.  We took lots of family pictures.

Landon was mad from the minute I put this outfit on him.  I think he could sense it didn't look as masculine as usual.  He screamed when I put it on him and started pulling at it saying, "too tight!"  Hey, Easter only comes around once a year!  I love these sweet outfits.

Sweet sisters!

The Parents!

Three generations of Clayton boys.

The cousins.

Savannah, Spencer, and Laurel making silly faces!

Sawyer and Alistair with Aunt Jennifer and Uncle Roger.

Landon would find an egg, stop, crack it open and eat the treat!  Needless to say, he did not find many eggs!

Aww... fun times!
Happy Easter!

Saturday of Easter Weekend

Seth had a dirtbike race on that Saturday of Easter weekend.  So he took Landon with him while I took the girls to our church's Easter breakfast and egg hunt.  Looking back, I wish I had video taped Landon that morning.  He was so excited that he was getting to go with his dad to the "b-bike race!"  I took this picture when they got home.  Landon had slept the whole two hours home.  Seth said he had a blast and didn't whine or complain not one time. 

The girls, Sawyer and I had fun at the egg hunt.  I'm bummed I left my camera, because guess who made a surprise visit?  That's right!  The Easter bunny.  He surprised us all.  It was top secret.  He was a cute bunny.  He walked around with the children while they hunted eggs.  He handed out candy, gave hugs and posed for pictures. 

That night Laurel and Savannah put carrots out for the Easter Bunny!

Fun Saturday for all!
