General update

Holy cow, it's already June! Nobody told me the more kids you have the faster time flies!

Quick update:

Clay is already 6 weeks old. He's a GREAT eater---about 10.5 pounds now! It is kind of exciting and amazing to think that my body gave him the necessary ingredients to grow strong before he was born, and my body is still providing what he needs now to grow. I think it's all amazing science. Heavenly Father sure knew what he was doing when he designed mothers and babies!

 

He has found his voice, he doesn't exactly coo yet, but he does hum through his nose when he's eating!  And he loves ceiling fans so I think his eye sight is getting better! Oh, guess what?! He's smiled! I saw his first smile this afternoon, but as soon as I pulled out the camera he started to cry. Go figure! I'm going to catch that smile on camera though.

 

I've also found a great way to bond with Clay. Laundry time! I lie him on the bed and fold all the laundry around him, all the while talking his ear off. He stares at me or the ceiling fan (ok, it's usually the ceiling fan) and is a great listener :). He gets really excited during our laundry time chats--he'll punch the air with his little fists and kick his feet.

In other news, Joey took the kids to the White Mountains to go camping with the Hancocks the last weekend in May. They had lots of fun! I think this picture is awesome:

 Apparently Miles didn't shave while he was camping--check out the dirt beard he's growing!

Hailey loved making big bubbles...

 

 Our little happy campers!

Grandpa Hancock bought a tree swing and the kids had fun on it! Hailey loves to swing! The kids always have fun camping with their cousins and grandparents in the White Mountains. I'm so sad there's a wildfire burning up there right now.

Here's a picture Reed took of the smoke coming from the fire:

And lastly...

I had to get a picture of one of Hailey's outfits. She's been getting herself dressed and picks out *interesting* combos such as this one: a BYU t-shirt, a denim skirt with lots of ruffles, purple socks and pink and grey Nike shoes. She can pull it off and still be cute!
