The Super Secret Softball team

Devan was invited to play on his work's super secret softball team. Apparently they hand pick who they want on the team. The guy who put it together is pretty hardcore. Anyways, so far most of the games have been rained out, but last week Clayson and I were finally able to go to one of his games. Needless to say Clayson enjoyed himself. This picture was taken after he pooped all over his clothes. I sometimes think he poops all over just so I'll take off his clothes.

Classic Clayson: naked and happy

Playing with aunt Cassidy. He recently found his bottom lip and he thinks it's pretty sweet.

Hangin out in the dugout. Dev played an awesome game by the way. He hit a home run and a bunch of other really good hits.

$2 wreath

I've been watching for ideas on a cute spring wreath. I came across this idea that's actually made from bed springs. I didn't want to spend money for bed springs so I looked up box springs on the ksl free section and sure enough I found several. I pulled out the springs and then I wired them together and then put glue on the joints. The only money I spent was on the fabric I used for the bow and the strips of fabric around the wreath. This isn't exactly the best pic. I took it inside my apartment with my cell phone but you get the idea. :)

Starting Solids

So I know everyone now recommends that you wait to start solids until six months, but lately Clayson has been blowing out of his diapers at least once a day and often times more. I've tried different brands and different sizes of diapers and nothing seems to help. A few people have told me that once you start solids it's usually not as bad. Clayson's pediatrician said it's fine if he starts single grain cereal especially since he's such a big boy. I was still planning on waiting til six months, but after he pooped all over three times in about six hours I decided it was time. He did really well. He swallowed more than what ended up on his face. He only took six or seven bites and then he was done, but I thought it was really good for his first time.

Look who's rolling

He started rolling from his belly to his back a while ago, and he occasionally rolls from his back to his belly when he's on soft surfaces like the couch or our bed. He's been trying to roll from his back to his belly on the floor for a while now, but he couldn't quite make it over his one arm. Yesterday morning he finally made it over! It's been so fun watching his determination. I was so proud when he finally got it. :) 

We had an appointment with his pediatrician and his cardiologist last week and they always call him the little miracle baby. They say patients that have had heart failure usually experience failure to thrive, but as you can see that is obviously not the case with him. He was between 85-90% for weight and he's doing all the things a normal baby at his age should be able to do.

Playtime with Dad

Clayson loves playing with anyone who will pay attention to him, but he especially loves playing with his Dad.

Playing airplane- I think this is his favorite game. Of course his dad is the best at it.

My two favorite boys

Feeding the Steeds

We went to feed the mules at Bill's on Sunday, and you can't tell from these pictures, but Clayson loved it. We fed the baby pigs too, and he was all sorts of excited watching them eat. He thought are mule Jack was pretty cool too. He just kept staring at him. The only reason he's not to excited in these pics is because he wanted to keep looking at the animals.

Bedtime Scare

Lately sometimes Clayson will fall asleep around 8:30 or 9:00 at night if he hasn't had a very long evening nap. He has to take his medicine at ten so when he does fall asleep early I have to wake him up. I usually just keep the lights low and be really quiet when I put his pajamas on and then I give him his medicine and feed him and he goes right back to sleep. Well the other night when I was putting his pjs on Devan came in and blew a really loud zerber on his belly and this was the result:

No worries- it took awhile but they did eventually make up.
