I can hardly believe one month has gone by already! It's flown by, but at the same time it seems like Baby Clayton has been a part of our family forever. I think back on this time of life when Jackson was a wee little baby and I wonder why I thought it was hard or that I was busy back then. He was the only little person I was taking care of...when he slept during the day, I could sleep or clean or make dinner or do whatever. That sounds grand now. This time around, any down time with baby is filled with Jackson. I'm sure next time I have a new baby and have two older kids too, I'll wonder why I thought I was busy now. Guess that's life!
Clayton:
-Is wearing size 1 diapers and 0-3 month clothes.
-Eats every 2 to 4 hours, and has put on several pounds. I don't know exactly how many but I'm guessing 4ish. He's getting more plump all over.
-Sleeps great...during the day. Well, really he sleeps well as long as he's being held. He does NOT sleep in his bassinet. That's a problem.
-Is skilled at shooting milk out his nose. He spits up after almost every feeding. I'm learning to be prepared!
-Is very alert when he's awake. He loves to look at faces and at the black picture frames on the white wall.
-Is just barely starting to be a little more expressive. I think I've gotten a real smile once or twice.
-Gets a little fussy/unsettled in the evenings around 7 or 8. I'm hoping that doesn't turn into a couple of hours of screaming every night like it did for Jackson.
-Receives a lot of love & attention (usually positive attention) from Jackson. I just have to be sure to be on guard to make sure it isn't too rough :)
I think we're all doing a pretty good job of adjusting to our new life. There are times when it gets a little tricky to juggle two little people, but over all, it's been a pretty smooth transition so far. It keeps me busy all the time, but it's a good thing.
We love this little baby and are so happy to have him in our family!

SUCH cute boys! You know they;ll be best friends, just by looking at these photos! Good job on being a mom of two!
Oh, those newborn days don't last very long. Clayton has filled out so quickly. I LOVED every minute of snuggling and spending time with Jackson and Clayton!!! Such wonderful memories I will always have. :)
Love the pictures and your comments--- especially since we're doing the same things around here (minus the 2 year old!). Brigham is one week away from the 1 month mark.
Clayton is a darling baby!
