Dayton's Newborn Pics

Weekend Fun!

We had all the family together this weekend. We had lots of fun at the parade for Peach Days and just hanging as a family. We especially loved playing games together and watching the BYU game (they won with four seconds left). Being with my family is when I am the most happy. I am truly blessed! 

Brielle insisted with our family pics that we make a sad face, Jaston pushed for the silly and of course I wanted the posed happy face.

Dayton's Blessing Day

Today was a very special day for our Dayton. He was given a name and a blessing by his Daddy. Jeff gave him a beautiful blessing. We were so blessed to have support from many of our amazing family members. We missed those who couldn't be with us but we are so grateful to be surrounded by people who love and support us.

Dayton's First Smile

Dayton has been smiling "accidentally" for a long time but today was the first time he smiled at me intentionally and I LOVED it. Talk about melting a Momma's heart. 

My second beautiful niece was born yesterday- Adalyn Vivian Cluff weighing 7 lbs 9 oz and 20 inches. She is so precious and loves her auntie already :)

#5 casts and Tenotomy

Dayton got his fourth casts on, his tenotomy (minor surgery releasing his Achilles' tendon), and his fifth and last casts on. The first pic is of Dayton chilling in Grandpa's favorite position at Aunt Teona's house before we head to Shriner's for the casting. I didn't know we were doing the tenotomy today (thank heavens) because I didn't have time to stress. They put a numbing cream on his ankle (after taking off his casts), had us wait 45 minutes and then the doc came to get him. I am currently waiting for her to bring him back. Supposedly they give him some more numbing shots and make a small incision and clip the tendon allowing it to heal stretched and allow his heel to drop. It has been the allotted time so hoping all is well. The other pic is of the doc coming and getting him from us. I have been so impressed with the people here at Shriner's and especially our Doctor. It has been a long and exhausting process coming up north each week but it really has been a positive experience. Now for three weeks in these casts and on to the brace/BNB. I'm nervous about that transition too. 

On a side note- he is ten lbs today. He's been growing like crazy! I'm loving his little chub
