The past few months have been very busy for us, and May was an especially busy month. Clayton got two teeth in April! The process was less then fun, but we sure were excited when we saw his new teeth. It's difficult to see and the quality isn't that great, but here's a picture of his first tooth.



In May we had Mother's Day, our anniversary, Sam's graduation and my birthday, not to mention the busy activities of day to day life. Things have been hectic, but wonderful. Clayton is growing so much each day, and he's so happy all the time.

Mother's Day was wonderful. It was my first as a new mom and we had a great day. We went to the park for picnic, but with the windy weather we didn't last long. The rest of the day we spent relaxing which for me was the part.



Clayton stayed home with his Grandpa Sinclair while Sam and I went to a movie for our anniversary. It was the first time we'd been out together since January so that was nice. We really needed the time together.

Sam's graduation was a perfect day. We're so proud of him, he's worked so hard for so long, with so many obstacles and int eruptions so it was great to finally see him graduate. My mom watched Clayton during the ceremony and I attended with Sam's family. Both his mother and father and most of his brothers and sisters were able to be there. It really meant a lot that so many of them were able to share the day with him. Afterwards we had a BBQ at our house and Clayton got to spend some quality time with the family.



My birthday was great. I turned 30 this year and was definitely not looking forward to it. My mom watched Clayton again while Sam and I went to see Cirque du Soleil just a few days before my actual birthday. It was wonderful, I'm so glad we were able to go. Two dates in one month, I almost didn't know what to do with myself.


My birthday fell on Memorial day this year so we spent the day with my parents in Idaho City. We took a nice drive up there and hung out at the house for a while. It was really good to see Clayton interact with my parents. He just stares at my mom while she talks completely mesmerized with her.

Well that's all for now, I'll try harder to keep everyone more up to date in the future.

Happy Easter

Hope you all had a great Easter. As you can see Clayton loves what the Easter Bunny left him for his first Easter!

Clayton

As you all know Sam and I added a new addition to our family this winter. Clayton is almost 4 months old now and I'm finally getting around to setting up his blog. I thought this would be a nice way for family and friends to watch him grow over the years. I'll try to update his blog with pictures and tid bits about what he's doing as often as possible. Here are a few pictures from the past three months. He started out at 8 pounds, 6 ounces and on the 28th he weighed in at 16 pounds 5 ounces. I can't believe how fast he's growing!
