I know, I know...I've been a horrible blogger!

I've done a horrible job of updating the blog the last few weeks. I'm back at work and trying to rebalance my life. It is really hard!!! Sadly, I'm a perfectionist and get easily down on myself when I can't do everything well. I'm having to retrain my brain to accept less in areas that aren't as important: having a spotless house, having every area of my classroom perfectly organized, etc. Clayton, Chad, and Tilley are my main priority and everything else has to be a little less than perfect :)
Here are some recent pictures of Clayton. He is still the cutest baby in the world. I'm loving each new milestone. He's changing so quickly, and I'm trying really hard to capture every moment. Enjoy!
Talking to Grandma and Grandad (as usual) on his new phone.
At the same time he is sucking on sliced apples in his new teether (talent!).
A close-up
We're trying to introduce Clayton to new experiences while he's still open to it.
In this picture he is smashing banana pieces. He can't bring them to his mouth yet, but they're a fun toy!

Swinging on Friday with Tilley, Aunt Lala, and Mommy.

Daddy and Clayton playing with his new toys (I really tried to get Chad to look LESS excited!).
Clayton's new Elmo chair (it giggles and shakes!)
Koko talking on Clay's new phone (I'm not sure what Clayton is doing on the side)
I love my new toys!

Great pics of our little red headed grandson. We love him and never get tired of the photos and videos. I watch them over and over and over.

I love the first banana photo. Did you actually let him eat some? Also love him talking to Grandma & Grandad on the phone. Wish I was there everyday!

Fun pictures. Clayton had a great weekend (or past few weeks?)! Swinging in the park, smashing bananas, and new toys!

Chad does seem REALLY excited in that picture.
