Our Growing Family: New Year

In his 16h week of life, Clayton gets to experience a new year. This past week was pretty mellow - although Clayton always seems to experience firsts. First time to wear some new outfits (Thanks Oma and Opa). First time to grab his feet on his own (yeah - what fun, especially when on the changing table). And the first time to stay home alone with Grandma who was so nice to come down from Neenah and babysit when Ryan and I had to work on Thursday and day care was closed (what other workplace gets 2 days off for New Years?).

Although he's been able to grab objects for the last few weeks, he is now much more adept at getting them into his mouth and slobbering all over them.

Clayton had a great day with Grandma who kept him entertained with cassette tapes from Ryan's childhood among other activities. She's also the baby whisperer when it comes to getting Clayton to take a bottle (at least from Ryan's perspective).

Aunt Lisa, Uncle Breck, Eliza and Leo came up to spend New Year's Day with us. The kids seemed to have a great time playing with all of Clayton's Christmas toys.

Leo was showing off all of his skills again - and I wanted to see if Clayton could do any of the same things. Found out that he can kind of sit, albeit briefly, in the boppy! He even pulled himself back up when he fell backwards one time.
