The first two pictures are from when we were taking Clay's passport pictures, they weren't right for the passport because they didn't meet all the insane criteria for a passport for an infant (they have to have their eyes open, can't be crying, can't have anything in their mouth like a binky, you have to see both ears, can't have funny shadows, it has to be 2 inches x 2 inches with the head being between 1 inch and 1 3/8 inches - so you can see, for a newborn of less than 2 weeks old, this allows for a very small window of opportunity), but they show how cute and chunky he is. Oh and he was weighed on Wednesday and is up to 9 pounds already!!!
Natalie took this picture of him in his swing. He's not really a fussy baby, but it is nice for him to be in the same room as us when we eat dinner.
Finally a better picture of the two of us, I wish I knew how to get the date stamp off of the picture so I can frame it, I usually just crop it out but that would take out half of Clay's head.
OK, I had to throw this one in because it shows how thin I have gotten (still not where I want to be, but compared to the size 22 I was when I was at my heaviest and the size 16 I was when I got pregnant this time around). I went out and bought new jeans the other day and I am so excited because the were a UK 14 which is a US 12. I haven't been this small since College and just 10 more pounds to lose and I will be at my smallest adult weight.
