Christmas Fun and the new year

Well Clayton enjoyed Christmas especially playing with the Christmas bows. In fact he tried chewing on them.

He enjoyed Christmas Day with all of his aunts and uncles and cousins... In fact his cousin Ava was "reading" to him too bad he wanted the book! Here are pics from Christmas Day:

We did a lot over the break. Clayton went to 2 Dallas Stars games and hung out with a lot family. He even got some Texas Tech shirt, hat and books from cousin Lauren. He enjoys them so much!

He did get sick while we were in Steamboat Springs and is still sick with congestion.. Now he has given it to Mark and I.

Here is our first annual Christmas Card!!

Here are pics from Thanksgiving....

Have a great Thanksgiving!

The pic of Clayton was one that my best friend Holly took of him at a a baby shower for our other good friend Morgan. The family picture was taken by Stewart Dedmon of Creative Images photography. Both are great professional photographers!! I love them both dearly!!

Oh geez so much has happened!! Sorry, it has been a while I do forget about my blog some times and I promise I will do better!!

Well a lot of firsts... Clayton is starting to sit up on his own while being on someone's lap. He is trying to start crawling. It is really cute he has the motion for it but no go! He is also trying out different stage 1 baby foods. He does not like green beans unless they are mixed with apple sauce. He likes carrots, sweet potatos, squash, bananas, peaches and pears.

He has a lot of personality and we just love it. He loves to laugh and of course is very curious. If he is sitting on your lap and there is something in front of him he will grab it and place into his mouth.

He has attended his first hockey game, went to the state fair, TCU game, Dallas Cowboy stadium tour. He has done a lot for a little boy!! I have poseted some pics from the past two months...

Our next holiday is Thanksgiving, there is so much going on that day. I will let you all know what happens!! Until then have a great Thanksgiving!!

Love, Stace, Mark and Clayton

4 months old and 4 month shots...

Well my baby is now 4 months! I can't believe how time has flown by.. He is getting bigger, voicing his opinion more, turning over..... Just getting to be a big boy.

On Sunday, September 27th we had his baptismal and he did such an amazing job. He smiled at the pastor and didn't freak out in his arms and he looked oh so cute! We had the entire family and close family friends there and what a treat that was Mark's grandparents came into town. Plus we have picked Clayton's Godparents drumroll................Godmother: Rebecca Betz and Godfather: Daniel Brietling... We are so excited that they will be his godparents and know that they will do an amazing job. All the baptism pics are on my facebook here is a pic of him on stage...

We have a lot planned this month.... My cousin Morgen is coming into town and I can't wait for him to see Clayton.. That is his Uncle Morgen since I don't have any siblings. We are planning on going to pumpkin patches, halloween parties, boo at the zoo! There is a lot going on!

Of course I will be more up to date on these postings!!


Mark, Stace and Clayton

We have done a lot!

I know it has been awhile since my last post!!

In August, Clayton has done a lot..... He went to the circus and he had such a blast he loved the lights in fact he couldn't stop looking a the lights...

He has been swimming a lot in his pool which he loves! He loves to kick his feet and splash around. He is now wearing 3 to 6 months clothes and is in stage 1-2 diapers... He is getting to be such a big boy I can't believe how big he is getting....

I got to show him off at the university's President's picnic and my sorority sisters fell in love with him of course! He smiled at them and got to see lots of ppl! I think he was overwhelmed by everything going on...

So far in September, he has attended a funeral which he did very well. Also, he had his second holiday with us! He celebrated Labor Day weekend in true style with football games! He paid attention to the college football games especially Penn State! Daddy was very proud of course!

That is all I know we have our first walk on the 12th... American Heart Association at 7am we are walking with the Athletic Training dept. It will be sooo much fun and hoping it doesn't rain!

That is all I know for right now! I promise I won't take too long to post on Clayton...
