Getting SO Big!!!

Sorry it has been so long since our last post. Nothing too exciting has been happening! just fun filled days as a little family! I thought I'd post a few new pictures of Jaden. He is getting so big and is so much fun! Enjoy!

This is one of Jaden's very first smiles! I love it! How could you not love this face!

8 pounds and still growing strong! He seems so big now! I can't believe some babies are born this size! I love it!

Slowly yet surely we are getting adapted to the car seat instead of the car bed! Hooray!

Last month we took Jaden up to Logan to meet his great grandparents and his new cousin Savannah it was so fun! She is adorable and one of these days Jaden will catch up in size! We have faith! Just keep eating buddy!

Like Father Like Son!!!!

We'll upload more pictures soon! Hope all is well with everyone!

Build a Jaden

So.... Shawn's mission president is coming home soon and we wanted to get Jaden a new outfit to wear to the homecoming. Well, we went to the mall and after searching for a few hours and not finding a single thing, we were very discouraged...he's just so little (but so cute)! We were just about to leave when we passed the Build a Bear Workshop and I had an idea! You guessed it.... while other people in the store were dressing stuffed animals, Shawn and I were finding an outfit for our little boy! Everyone there got quite a kick out of us! This is our end result! Doesn't he look adorable!

Jaden has a new favorite game, its called "Steal the washcloth" he likes to play this game during bath time! We have the cutest little wash cloth that has a teddy bear head on it (thanks Sarah) and now whenever we give him a bath, he tries to grab it! I'll tell you what, he is one tough kid and when he does get a hold of it, bath time stops until he decides to give it back! Its pretty cute!

Oh and just a new quick update...Jaden has finally hit 6 pounds! 6 pounds 3 ounces to be exact! Way to go buddy! We're so proud!

Hooray For 5 Pounds!

We took Jaden to the doctor for his 2 week check up this past week and were so excited to find out he's gained 7 ounces! :) He is now 5 lbs and 5 ounces! We are SO proud! Kinda funny the things we get overly excited about now but nonetheless its a great thing! He can also now be in a normal car seat (hooray) and we're hoping that within the next little while he'll start being able to fit into newborn clothes! We're optimistic what can I say! But he is adorable!

Baby Jaden!

Well its taken awhile to get some pictures up of our cute baby Jaden and I apologize! Shawn has been off of work up until today so we have just been enjoying the time with our little family! Here are some pictures of the last 13 days we have had our sweet baby boy! I ended up going into labor early, so when we got to the hospital they tried to turn Jaden (he was breech) Yet it was to no avail, so I had a c section. Shawn thought it was pretty rad he got to watch and has now seen more of me than I will ever see! Here is a picture of the proud papawith his new baby boy just minutees old!

Here is our 4 lb 15 oz perfect little boy! we are so blessed to have him!
All the cousins were very excited to meet him!
Auntie Sarah
Elizabeth was so cute with Jaden!

We did n't take any pictures of Jaden on the way home from the hospital because he was so little the outfit we had gotten hom wouldn't fit....Sorry!

Once we got home it was time for more father son bonding. Shawn and Jaden took a few naps together this week! :) Arent they cute!

Here is Jaden's first bath! At first he was NOT a fan.... after a few minutes though he relaxed and actually seemed to enjoy it!

I've taken so many pictures the last 2 weeks and Jaden finally had enough...I guess this was his way of telling me he was done being photographed!More of Jaden and Shawn, I just cant get enough of the two of them!
So sometimes Shawn and I just sit and hold Jaden and watch all the funny faces he makes! Its actually quite fun! We ciould sit there all day and just look at our beautiful baby boy and laugh at some of the great faces.... here is our favorite! You can't help but laugh! :)

Our New Addition

Just a quick little post. Jaden Shawn Clegg was born Tuesday June 24th at 7:51pm! Even though he's just a little guy weighing in at 4 pounds 15 ounces, he is healthy and doing great! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect little guy! He is such a blessing in our lives! He was a suprise coming at 37 weeks but we are so excited he is here!

We'll post more pictures and such later. We are also making our blog private this week. If you want to have access please send us your email so you can keep up with our little family! Thanks!

The Best New Daddy!

Yesterday we spent the day at my parents house for Fathers Day! My niece Marissa adores Shawn! I think his favorite thing is to come over while I am holding her and she'll just look at me and say "Shawn" and stick out her arms! Whenever she hears his voice she comes charging in the room! Everytime I watch them together it just reminds me of what an incredible dad shawn is going to be! I'm so lucky to have him as by husband and to be sealed to him forever! He is going to be the best daddy! The other night we were talking about how there will be a few nights I will have to stay at work late with the baby, and I was telling him that if he didn't have a lot of homework those nights he could just come over and hang out with us! Well, his response was, or I could just come after work and pick up the baby so you coud focus that last little time on Danica and I could have some time alone with the him. How many new daddys would say that! He is just the best and I am VERY lucky!!!

My Growing Belly!

This picture and post is for all of you out there whose constant harassment has finally broken me down! Here is your belly picture! Taken at 35 weeks at one of my showers thrown by my fabulous nanny friends! As you can see I'm getting quite large! Here is the latest and greatest on us as well! As of my dr apt this morning, our cute little Jaden is breech (which means instead of being head down like most babies are right now, he is bum down, head up!) So we'll wait 2 more weeks to see if he turns on his own, if not then I'll have the doctors try to turn him. This is usually only 50% successful! If he doesn't turn then we will just schedule a c-section. So right now we are just hoping he will turn on his own! Luckily we live in a time where all options are quite safe! We'll keep you updated on how things go!
