Baseball game!

I have been wanting to go to the OKC Redhawk's baseball game since we moved here. So, for mother's day, Chris and Clayton got me tickets. Since it was on a Monday, we could sit anywhere and had a great time.
Clayton loved cheering and all the rallying!!! BUT he did not love the bird mascot. So, this is Clayton 'hiding' behind the chair as he watched the baseball game.

Clayton couldn't sit very long, so he started roaming around and talking to everyone in a 10 row radius. This actually worked out in his favor because when a fly ball was caught, they gave it to Clayton. Everyone started clapping for him. So, now that he had everyone's full attention, he smiled, turned around and chucked the ball right back to the field. There were a few good sports that retrieved it for him a few times and we actually ended up with it at home. This is the beginning of one little athlete.

Dum, Dum, Da, Dum

The title is me trying to sing the wedding song. This is the only picture (thanks Amency) that I have of Scott and Ashley's wedding last weekend. It was a great wedding and a great weekend. Lots of fun, food and family. I don't think Clayton even walked much on his own. There was always a lap to run to!

Big News....

Here are the long awaited pictures....For those who don't know... we are expecting a little girl at the beginning of October. This is her profile.

We were in having the ultrasound from 1:00 to 1:50. Everything measures out fine and looks good. But all I can remember is the ultrasound tech saying, "stubborn little girl" over and over again (and having me practically standing on my head to get a bum shot). I hope that wasn't a foreshadow. Apparently, where the arrow is, when there are 3 dots and no boy parts...it ends up being a girl.

Here are her little feet. Chris and I are both excited. He even let me buy 1 pink thing (he says we have to start out small :)!!! The best was when we were in the toy section and Clayton went down the 'girl'/doll isle. He was hitting the dolls but it was just the fact that he was interested in them that got Chris 'worried'. This is going to be fun!

The Ins and Outs....

A few weeks ago, Chris and I heard this strange tapping on the door. We checked outside...no one. Turns out, Clayton can get out of his bed and has a strong little 'renters' knock. So, we took the 'Super Nanny' approach and the next night, we put him back in bed every time he got out (he is a quick little man too). After 2 hours we realized he thought it was a game; we gave up and here was the end result....
The next night was like he was 4 months old all over again. We just let him cry until he fell asleep. The problem this time was, he can talk. So, we would hear the occational sweet 'momma', 'daddy'. Eventually it got quiet. So, I walked into his room prepared to get him off the floor and put him in bed....I couldn't find him anywhere. I looked in the corners and the closet. No where. I didn't look under the blankets in the bed. This video took a little coaxing but I was dying to figure out how he got back into his bed. We're just hoping no bones break before we get him into his big-boy bed.

Fear...

..for being so fearless, Clayton has finally met his match... thunder storms! We had a really loud one yesterday. Clayton would come running after every sound. Once he was in his seat for breakfast, he couldn't do anything but 'hide from the thunder'.

I told Clayton to cover his eyes if he was scared. He covered them with his eye lids. (If you tell him to close his eyes, he winks at you).
Turns out thunder wasn't the end of the fear (by the way, I've never seen him afraid of anything before today). It was our first day with play-doh. Chris made Clayton some play-doh snakes--and then put the fear of snakes into him...check out the video.

This picture is Clayton hiding from the snake.

Mr. Independent

I know that I keep posting all videos, BUT I just can't capture Clayton's little personality with just pictures. So, here is Mr. Independent in our daily routin of getting his own breakfast. However, so far, he hasn't eaten anything that he has made.

My battery died during this video. But, My favorite part is when the toaster gets red and he yells 'hot', 'hot' and pulls his hand away like he is being burnt. Too funny.

Bubbles

Clayton has always been a big fan of bubbles...now, technically, he can have them ALL the time.

Clayton has learned to blow his own bubbles!
