Ohh hey! How goes it?!??

(Hello from the kids) 

Yes you are not seeing (reading things?) I have returned!!  Being a mom of a very active 10 month old is a busy one!! He has been crawling for pulling himself up on just about everything. So he needs a lot of supervision. And oh course play and activity time 😃 he attempts to get into EVERYTHING  even though we have childproofed the house (or adult-proofing...) he still try's to open up everything but those darn hooks are there (shaking fist at mom and dad) but I'm still getting used to them being there. "Why can't I open this up?!??" But something's I have refused to put locks on. Like the toilet...umm hello that thing is crazy looking!! We just keep the bathroom closed. Problem solved....for now 

Or he gets put in baby jail...aka chairs placed around the living room to keep him in a somewhat closed area.... Works for now haha!! 

   

What else we have been up to.... Clayton had his first parade experience on the 4th of July! Lovedddd it and was a happy camper most the day. Only got fussy towards the end of the day because the poor kid was tired! But kept wanting to go, go, go!!! 

Just a few from that day... 

We have also been busy with walks and lots of outside time since the PNW has been soo nice!! And we have been busy with family that has been in town. 

Yesterday Clayton and I spent some time his great-grandparents (my gram and gramp) and my cousins!!! He was loving it!!!! 

Packed up and ready for our longg drive (30 min lol) 

Clayton and my cousin Erika! 

Great-grandpa, Erika and little monkey!! 

Till next time!! 

Clayton is 9 months old!!!

Yes that's correct!! Our precious little boy is 9 months old. Boy does time fly, I know everyone says time will go by fast..but seems like I blinked and he was 9 months old. He's crawling, attempting to pull himself up, talking (saying mamma and dadda) and getting cuter and cuter everyday 😀I live my little monkey soooo much!!

Sunday was a very exciting Father's Day for us! We went to breakfast in carnation, Gigi's cafe. Which is soooo delicious. (Just thinking about it makes me hungry) and then watched the race...like every Sunday AND gave little Clayton his first haircut!! And yes of course I was the one to cut his hair. Justin held him on his lap, and I cut his hair. He was very interested in what mom was doing. I used clippers of the side #4 (1/2 inch) and used  shears on top. He is defiantly a stylist's son, he sat there like a big boy and got his haircut. He did such a great job😃 just was curious what mom was doing. So I have him the comb to play with. But no fussing or screaming. I left some of his "personality" in his hair. Just needed to get it out of his eyes..and no Justin Beiber hair for my son!! (Or how ever you spell it) 

Before 

After!! 

Yes we cut his hair in only his diaper....then right into the bath! 

Isn't he just the cutest?!?! 

Xoxo

Till next time! 

Weekend plus.....

This weekend was a fairly busy one for me!! Saturday I worked (like usual) then after I got picked up by some lovely ladies to head down to Seattle for a bachelorette party :) 

 

(With the bride and Kristine!!) 

I was baby free for the night so I was able to let loose and have fun! Not much responsibility.... Strange feeling. But we had dinner then drinks/dancing. Yes I actually danced, with a little liquid courage I did dance! 

(Kristine, Jessica and me)

Sunday was a bit slow staring of a day cuz I didn't get much sleep, maybe 4 or 5 hours. But guessing closer to 4..... We have tiny human to take care of so no time to be tired or hungover. But mr Clayton and I headed to a baby shower of mine and my sis' lover aka Tiffany (sister from a other mister....well and from another mom haha) She's having a baby girl due June 23rd. So naturally we wouldn't miss her shower for ANYTHING we spoiled her. And got her a few cute baby girl items but a tonnn of practical baby items. I guess our "theme" for our present was boobs lol. Or breast feeding... Many many things in that category!! Clayton was a huge hit.. Like usual ( toot toot, that's me tooting my own horn) 

Monday + Tuesday aren't weekend days but I'll add them in :) 

Monday was a get ish done day. The usual grocery shopping, laundry, making monkey's food (Clayton food). Then Tuesday we headed down to my dads work and hung out for a bit and had a yummy lunch! 

Clayton learning how to take over the business 

He takes his food serious! 

Xox 

Michelle! 

Finally Friday!

Goodness, I have been terrible at writing. But life has kind gotten in the way..

What I have been up to lately

-Clayton is almost 8 months! 

-My little monkey has 4 teeth! Working on a few more I’m sure

- Justin and I celebrated out 1 year anniversary on May 1^st, which was amazing! 

- My anniversary/mommy’s day present was an iphone!!! I know I’m FINALLY up to date (RIP Blackberry) still getting used to this whole touch screen thing, but I think I got it!!

-I have been cooking like CRAZY!! Justin and I decided that it would be a good idea (financially and good for Clayton) to make our own baby food. NOT as hard as you think… I have a food processor and before making baby food I only used it maybe twice MAYBE. ANDDDD I decided as a family we need to eat healthier, it takes a little more meal planning but it needs to be done, cuz this mamma needs/wants to lose the rest of baby weight. (Any suggestions PLEASE share!!!)

- At the end of April my little fam went on our annual camping/fishing trip, Clayton’s first time fishing J We all  had a blast!! Nice relaxing long weekend in a tiny little town called Conconully, WA. More family friendly then other years but hey we have a little dude so no crazy bar nights.

Till next time!

Hello again :)

I've been a BUSY mamma lately!!

 

What I've been doing:

Taking care of my little family:)

Picked up an extra day at work, now working Wednesday and Saturdays

Mr. Clayton has 2 teeth now, YES 2 teeth!!!!

He is eating "solid" foods...or semi solids

My goal is to make almost all of his foods, pureed food are pretty easy to make

A few of his favs are Banana, Apple, Sweet potato/yams and a new fav is plum!

Our sweet baby boy has a sensitive gage reflux so everything has to me pureed to a pulp! He is defiantly gonna be a texture eater......

 

I cannot believe Clayton is almost 7 months old!!! Seems like just yesterday that I was impatiently waiting for my induction appt. now he' growing and moving like crazy!!

He's getting sooo close to crawling! which is exciting but scary at the same time... I have a VERY mobile baby.... But he's still my sweet little man :)

 

Have a fab weekend all!!

 

 

Is it so...?!?!

Say it is so........
So, so sorry I've been MIA for a while, my lovely computer/Internet was broken (thats what I get for living in the backwoods). Lets hope that whatever it was with my computer is fixed now..... FINGERS CROSSED!!!! I'll start ASAP in getting everyone caught up on what has been going on since I was here last :)

I shall get to work all

Michelle!

Our journey!

Yesterday Mr. Clayton and I made the trek down south! Well to Auburn... To go and have lunch with my dad, and show him off to my dad's office in Auburn. Clayton has already met the important peeps at the Renton office but had yet to make his physical debut at Auburn. He is a VERY popular little one.

But before we headed out for the day Clayton had to get a goooood night sleep! He slept a VERY long time, Justin and I were shocked he had that good of a night sleep. Little Mister slept from 8:30pm to about 8am, plus 3 good naps! I'm pretty sure this sweet little boy is going thru a growth spurt AGAIN. He's gonna be in 12 month clothes before he's even 9 months!! I know Cheyenne wont mind that he's getting bigger because when he's bigger they can play but till then we can have sweet little moments like these :)

Clayton holding Cheyenne's paw. And she HATES her paws being touched.

 

Once we got to my dads Auburn office all work stopped, I wasn't even 5 feet in the door and Clayton was whisked away to be paraded around the office. He was eating the attention up! Flirting and laughing and of course smiling :) He met all the important people at the office (including Wes and Hans, 2 of my dads long time friends) and he also learned how to run AIM Aerospace, so that one day his Grandpa can retire!

Grandpa blowing Clayton a kiss :)

Now Mr. lets get some work done!
