Clayton's 6th Week

Clayton's 6th week was another great one!  He is still such a wonderful baby...always happy and content!  At night he has been sleeping one 4 hour time span and then another 3 hours.  Getting up twice in the night is not a big deal at all, so I'm feeling really well rested which helps me enjoy our sweet little baby even more!  He's still a good eater in the day time too-eating about every 3 hours. 
Clayton is smiling even more than last week, and it just melts everyone's hearts.  The kids get just as excited as we do when we get a sweet little smile from Clayton!  He has started making little baby "coo's" at us too when we are talking to him which he refuses to do when I'm videoing, so you'll have to take my word for it that it's pretty adorable!
Clayton continues to love bathtime.  He relaxes as soon as I put him in the tub and is all smiles and coos during bathtime, and as soon as I take him out of the water he fusses for a few seconds.  He enjoys it so much that I have started bathing him every day instead of every other.
He's ALWAYS happy in his carseat, stroller, or Ergo carrier that I wear...this makes it easier to go on walks and really on any outing with Clayton, so we have started to allow ourselves to get a little busier going out of the house for activities now that Clayton's a little older!  Carter and Nora Kate get excited everytime we take him somewhere saying, "Clayton's never been to ___ before!"  "It will be Clayton's first time at ___!" 
Everyone is still loving their little brother.  Dawson asks to hold him within minutes of getting home from school each day-it's so sweet!  We have yet to see any jealousy from any other older siblings toward Clayton which is great!  Nora Kate refers to him as, "our baby" and really does love him so much! 
In Clayton's 6th week he did a lot of fun things!  He went to his first baseball game to watch Dawson play!  He went to Dawson's school to have lunch with him.  (Dawson has been asking for me to bring Clayton to school since the week we came home from the hospital, and so we did!)  He went to the library for the first time, and to Dollywood for the first time!
