When are Nana, Grandpa and Aunt Anna going to be here?

Clayton is so excited because Nana, Grandpa and Aunt Anna are coming for the weekend. He can't wait to show them his big boy bed! He thinks grandpa will especially like his Bears blanket!

Clayton asks mom "When are Nana, Grandpa and Aunt Anna going to be here? I have Nana's outfit on!"
Clayton wears his St. Louis grandma's outfit! Thanks Diane, Clayton can't wait to meet you!

Clayton's Big Sis

Clayton's Big Sis gets a wif of him!

Keely has been so wonderful the last month. I am sure she senses something is going on. She has been extra cuddly with mom. She loves smelling Clayton's blankets and clothes we bring home to wash. She is a very proud big sis!

Clayton is doing great today, up to 3lbs 9 ounces! We can't believe how fast he is growing. The pics below are with some of his many visitors!

Uncle Drake and Clayton, no Clayton you can't go riding in his cool new car yet!

Big Boy Bed!!!!!

We hit a huge milestone today! Clayton is now in a crib! This is so exciting and means we are one step closer to going home. It is so much easier for mom and dad to change his diaper and give kisses now! Our little guy is up to 3 lbs 7 ounces! He is making great progress. Hugs and kisses to everyone!

Clayton's friends all watch to see how he likes his new big boy bed!!! We are in a crib now!
Clayton enjoys his new bed and the blanket daddy got him. Sorry, Nikki and Jeff no Colts fans here! :)
Clayton's new passy, jeez it is bigger than his face!

Go Cards!

Clayton wanted to make sure everyone knew that the Cardinals won the Cubs/Cardinals series 2 games to 1. Ok so he mostly wanted the Ruehmers, Aunt Anna and Uncle David to know! :) Clayton thinks Melissa's class should all wear Cardinals shirts for a week to make up for wearing their silly Cubs shirts last week! His cute cardinals outfit that Aunt Shannon gave him is a little big, but he had to sport it for the win!

Stay off the Streets!

Ok, so if you ask Justin or my dad they would probably say I was never that great of a driver to begin with. Having not driven for nearly 2 months now I would have to say it was pretty weird to get behind the wheel this evening for the first time. I felt like I was in drivers ed all over again! I don't think Justin was too impressed with my first time out, but I am sure I will pass the test! :)

Clayton is doing great. He is continuing to put on weight and is up to 3 lbs 3 ounces. We can't believe how fast his hair is growing and how much he already has. He has quite the personality and is already the ladies man of the NICU. We still don't know when we will be going home, but hope it will be in about 3 weeks or less.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

This is the typical night when we put Clayton into bed. He is always wide awake! :)
Mom and Clayton hang out tonight.
Hi everyone!

Clayton's Super Aunts

Clayton has been so lucky to have 2 of his great aunts come and visit over the last couple of weeks. They have decided they are his super aunts instead of great aunts! We can't imagine what we would have done without them! They have cooked, cleaned, planted, shopped and so much more. Clayton, Justin and I are so lucky to have such great family.

Super Silly Aunt Barb and Clayton!
