We had a great week of sleeping this week (knock on wood). I am hoping that we have finally turned a corner and Clay is not just messing with us. 4 days in a row we were able to get a 6 hour stretch of sleep out of the little guy which helps mommy and daddy get a few more hours in a row too. He's still not on a time schedule yet and tends to fall asleep at a different time each night after a bit of fussing but I'll take it if it means the long stretches are going to continue.
Brian hopped on the scale with Clay today and we know that he is now 9 pounds or somewhere close to there. He has actually grown enough to keep a pair of newborn pants up now and can wear socks without them coming off every time he kicks his foot. Soon we will be out of the newborn onesies and finally fitting into the newborn outfits (they were all a little bit big for him which is great so that we have more choices now). Even with all the choices nothing lasts very long between leaks out of the diaper and spitting up. Mommy usually gets a couple new outfits a day also due to the dangerously close proximity to the messy one. All in all- there is a LOT of laundry being done!
Clay is smiling all the time now and for actual reasons, if we make funny faces or voices or if he sees something that he likes he will shows us the cute gummy grin. Its great how a baby never gives you a fake smile, it is always genuine and means they really are happy. Even after hours of fussing- if he calms down and smiles even once you just kind of forget that you have been dealing with screaming and crying for the past several hours and everything is good again.

Such a happy, curious little fellow. You can sure tell he has had a lot of TLC and attention. He is growing up way too fast. See you in a few days. Love all 3 of you so very much, Grandma S
