First photo

Precious Will during the day,,,all day,,,then at night he is wondering where the party is:)

Charlie playing "Where's Charlie?"

There he is!

Charlie looks a little concerned here,,,maybe even mad:)

So I wanted to document the first picture of the boys together. In my mind, Charlie would be giggling loudly as held his brother with both hands close to him, and maybe even gave him a kiss or two. This is what happened in reality..

At this point Charlie has already pushed William twice...

This is as good as it gets right here folks! Charlie looks like amazon baby compared to Will!

We went to our first family dinner to a local Mexican place. I had to show some serious attention to Charlie just to get back on his good side!

Maybe soon I can get another picture of the boys,,maybe:)

Welcome William,,,,

Welcome to this crazy world William Thomas Clayton! Our newest baby boy is only 8 days old today, and so we are right in the middle of newborn phase! Sleepless nights await us every night,,so I am really looking forward to that part of the phase to be over. Will sleeps all the time except at night time. Typical. For all you lucky moms who's babies slept through the night since day one,,,I salute you (and secretly dislike you:) So here are some pictures from our stay at Baptist Hospital on November 19, 2010.

We love Dr. Trabue!

Charlie is still not sure of William yet, and everytime Will cries then Charlie does too! So, that drives mommy a teeny bit crazy!

Cindy and Hailey coming to visit...

Kandace too,,who also has a teeny tot at home,,

And I cant complain about my two cause Keeley has her hands full with 3!

Simply the best feeling ever..

Thanksgiving day was a quiet one at mom and dad's, but that was fine with me! Charlie cant understand why Boomer doesnt want his puppy!

isn't he precious?

Hopefully this blog entry made sense because I am simply delirious while writing this post. If there are major spelling errors, I apologize mom:)

Next post will include a picture of the boys together! (cross your fingers)

One more post...

Welcome to the world Jackson Stafford Speck! He is such a precious angel and we cannot wait to meet him! Trav, Kelly, and Bennett are adjusting well (or as well as a new mom can) to this adorable child! I just want to slobber all over those cheeks!

Bennett is wondering who is making all the noise around the house now,,

Charlie is doing so well in physical therapy. There was a time when standing was not an option for this little guy. Thanks to High Hopes he is progressing wonderfully!

Speaking of progressing, mommy is having William tomorrow morning! Charlie loves to pat my tummy when I ask him where his brother is...hopefully he wont do that after he is born otherwise I will have a complex:)

Tuesday was a long day. It started with physical therapy for 2 hours in the morning, then a haircut, which as you can see he was not overly thrilled about,,,and then followed by a MRI at Vanderbilt. This was just to make sure the doctors were not missing anything with his hypotonia diagnosis.

But things went a bit off that night,,,Charlie threw up while they tried to sedate him. So they kept us overnight to make sure nothing got in his lungs. It was a long night for him and mommy, who slept on a cot at 39 weeks pregnant. All the nurses were just waiting for me to go into labor any second, but we held on! After a long night, his MRI came back normal and his chest Xrays. Here he is with daddy when they let us see him,,,bless his sweet heart. He had his blue puppy with him that made him feel better,,mommy too!

So next time I post will be pictures of our new addition to the Clayton family. Please pray for a safe hospital adventure for all of us!

Halloween

So this is just a collection of recent pictures we have taken over the past month or so. Just a few more days and then William is with us,,,so there will probably be a delay in my postings, but you understand right? :)

Here is daddy and Charlie,,we went out to eat on the lake

Daddy and Charlie with Boomer

My sweet friend Nadia came to visit from Texas! We had a fun weekend of coffee, muffins, and lots of shopping! (well--she had fun shopping. I literally am busting out of sweat pants at this point:)

Downtown Franklin

My sweet friend Becky gave Charlie this giraffe--he LOVES it!

Charlie was a lion for Halloween--he truly loves lions. I was utterly shocked he kept this costume on as long as he did, but he was sweating underneath it all! Bless his heart!

Charlie cant believe a grown up looks even more silly than he does!

On a hayride with church friends

I never get tired of taking pictures of my men,,,

Our sweet cousin Jackson was born November 2! We are so excited for Travis, Kelly, and Bennett and cannot wait to meet him!

Maybe my next post will be pictures of William? Surely I can get one more post in there before that!! Surely!! :))
