Clayton will be celebrating his birthday with family in a few days!
He says quite a few words: "Daddy, Mom-Mom, Yeah, No-No, Uh-Oh, Juice, Hi, Hey!, Yay, Quack, Cluck-Cluck, Happy"
He has been cruising since 8 months, but has only taken 2 independent steps.
His favorite pastime is reading books or watching Thomas the Train.
He is definitely a climber, and is found many times on top of a coffee table or trunk.
His favorite foods are: chicken nuggets, peas, mac & cheese, ravioli, & grilled cheese sandwich
He listens well, and has in general been a very good baby, and now a good little boy!
We love Clayton so much, and are incredible blessed to have him as our son!!!
HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY, Clayton!!!

Cayden Rine's Party!

Cayden Rine is Clayton's "twin cousin", born on the same day. We went his 1st birthday party Saturday. It sure was fun! Cayden is a doll baby, and a sweetie too!

Clayton Eats an Oreo

There's really not much to blog about, but...Clayton has been such a great little eater lately. To reward that, I wait until he has had a good amount of food in his belly, then I give him a cookie after dinner. I just started this, and this was Clayton's 1st Oreo. He LOVED it, as you can see.


Yum! That was good!

When Daddy Is In Charge...

Clayton LOVED touching as many animals as he could!

 

That's one big tractor wheel!

 

Clayton LOVES Books!

Pappy Forney reading to Clayton. This child has loved being read to since 3 months old. HE would rather read than play many times. It's rare to get pictures of my Dad, so these are extra cute to me.

Clayton's Dedication

Last Sunday, Clayton was dedicated to the Lord at church. With Andy being in Afghanistan most of the year, this was the only Sunday we could get almost all the family together. Our pastor and Clayton's Grandpa Plank dedicated him. We certainly hope and pray Clayton turns out to be a fine boy for Jesus!

Will Be Back Soon

Our main computer is away getting fixed from having a virus. We will be blogging again soon! Bear with us through these technical difficulties! :)
