My baby is 18 months!







Wow, has the last 18 months flew by! You know when you were a kid and your birthday felt forever away, time couldn't move fast enough for it to be here. As a mother now, I can't believe how fast my little baby boy has grown right in front of my eyes. This time last year Clayton was just learning to sit up and we started introducing solid foods. Now, he is running all over the place and eats anything!
Clayton loves being outside! We loves to watch daddy mow, run down the side of the house through the bushes and sit at his picnic table and eat a snack. He loves to pick up the neighbors rocks and throw them or put them in his mouth for a little taste. Daddy has been teaching him how to play baseball and yesterday he hit the ball all by himself.

Clayton is fascinated with trucks. His new thing is to point and grunt at trucks he sees and I have to respond with "firetruck, delivery truck, garbage truck, pickup truck". Every Friday we watch the garbage truck come by and empty our garbage. This morning, he was standing at the front door watching as soon as he heard the garbage truck coming up the street.
Clayton loves to wave and say "hi' to everyone he comes into contact with. It is fun to watch as people are taken off guard, but they always respond with a "hi" and smile. His vocabulary is increasing more and more everyday.
Clayton just got his 3rd tooth; at this rate he could be teething for the next 6 years!

  2. Thanks for your prayers, Danna. We made it back to ID safely, but there's still so much ahead for us. Will you continue to pray? I'm so glad to see you have a blog! And I love the pictures of Clayton! I look forward to keeping up with you this way.
