Clayton is growing into such a sweet, smiley, fun baby. I love it when he kicks his legs excitedly before being picked up or when he's getting his diaper changed. His smile lights up the room. He is pretty mild and petite, so it will be interesting to see if that pattern continues as he gets older.
We enjoyed a beautiful hike up in Shenandoah on New Year's Eve. The downside is that it was about a mile down to see the waterfalls (I carried Clayton in the front pack and Benjy walked), but then a mile back up. Michael carried
both boys back up.
All of the boys have loved being swaddled, and so we've owned many iterations of swaddle blankets and zip-ups, etc. This one makes Clayton look like he has little chicken wings, which he enjoys sucking on.
He doesn't look like it here, but Clayton loves kicking in the big bath.
Clayton snuggles are so sweet.
So far, Clayton is not a fan of solid foods, especially purees--he purses his lips together and refuses to let any in. He does enjoy sucking on pizza crusts, though.
He also enjoys being up and looking around at all the big people, who all adore him and argue over who can hold him and make him smile or laugh next.
