Payton wakes up from her nap. Be back soon. 2 hours later I'm back!!! hahaha Payton woke up, Harrison woke up and I need to start the routine over again. Feed both, change both, get Grayson to the toilet, try and get myself ready if I can, feed myself, lay everyone down for naps.
Payton:
-She's almost 3 months old! She was 58th percentile in her weight and in the 90th percentile for her height. She's gonna be tall like her brother.
- She's all smiles and squeals especially when she wants me. She is even rolling over! I can't believe it. It's fun but I really dont want a fast mover again. Gray was walking at 10 months and it'd be fun to not have that with Payton. She is doing awesome at nursing still which is great for me.
-She doesn't have a favorite toy or anything. mostly because we don't have many toys since they've all been sent to Texas. She does love grabbing for things. I can't believe she can see that well yet but she will stare at something (necklaces or even clothes) and grab at them and pull them straight to her face.
-I am working on getting her to nap better. She gets fussy so I know she's tired. I go lay her down and let her cry for a few minutes. Then I go in and re wrap her put her binky in get her settled down and pat her bum a few seconds and walk out. She usually sleeps for about 30 minutes. It's not terrible because she's happy when she wakes up but I want her to start getting on a longer napping schedule...IDEAS? I usually just go back in after the 30 minutes and try and get her back to sleep for another 30 minutes hoping she'll pick up on the idea that she's supposed to sleep longer.
- My mom and sister showed up this last weekend. Payton was fussing as we were all getting ready to leave (she hates her carseat) my mom picked her up and grabbed the pickle off the counter that Gray had been snacking on earlier...she LOVED IT! she just sat there and gnawed on the it for 5 minutes. She then happily went into her carseat. hahaha
Here she is doing her roll.
Grayson:
-Best helper/big brother we could have asked for. Payton is one lucky girl. He loves to talk to her, play with her, get her to smile, try to feed her mom's frozen milk bottles (thawed of course), clap his hands at her, tell me when she's spit up/drooling, tell me when she's sad and crying. He even sings to her. It's the cutest thing. He's very protective of her and loves her to pieces.
-He is talking like crazy!!! He knows all our names (except mine and Chris' middle names) and his most recent is his birthday.
-He's getting better at his ABC's and we are still trying to get him to remember its 8-9-10 not 8-9-2. hahaha
-He wears 4T shirts and 3T pants. He's long and lean probably no fat on him.
-His favorite thing to tell people right now is..."We go pick up Ya-Ya at the airport in Tekas?!" Next Week?!" yaya is my brother Chad. Gray was 9 months old when Chad left and we pray for him every time we have prayers. He is so excited for him to come home. I'm impressed because I can show Grayson a picture of Chad and he knows who it is. Chad gets home a week from tomorrow! It's coming up so fast I can't believe it's been 2 years.
-BIGGEST NEWS EVER!!! GRAY is pretty much completely potty trained! He goes to the bathroom when he needs and sometimes I will give him a little hint that it's probably time to go. He also is doing so great going numero dos in the toilet. It was the biggest accomplishment ever when he actually went in the toilet. I couldn't believe. Every time since he's just gotten better and realizing he needs to go and he quickly rushes to the toilet. Every time he goes numero dos on the toilet now he says to me from the bathroom "MOMMY I DID IT! I go poop in the toilet....YOU SO PROUD OF ME!" I love it. I love him! If he has an accident it is number two but that's not often since he only poops once a day. and it only happens if we are out and about and we can't get him to a toilet or he's off playing.
This first one he wasn't supposed to know I was taking the picture. But he spotted me which is why it's blurry.
Hubs:
-Finished with all supplumental applications (required before you get an interview request for those schools that ask for them)
-Getting nervous about schools starting. Well nervous because he doesn't want difficult classes.
-Every class is a science class. BLAH!
-He only has class tuesday thursday but it's from 9am-6pm. YUCK!
-He works Monday Wednesday Friday from 7am-noon
-This last week he reached 104%eficiency rate at work!!! AWESOME!
-He was recently bumped up to 11$ an hour...and 12$ will come soon yay!
-He is such a great father to our two kiddos. Gray just adores him and Payton loves to laugh when he laughs.
Momma:
-I stay home everyday watching the kiddos.
-Changing pooopy diapers.
-Being sure Gray goes to the bathroom
-Trying to keep up my blog
-Skype with sister in law on bed rest
-keep the house clean
-do the laundry
-all of which gets done while they are napping only to have it be a mess again to hours later when naps are over. hahaha
-I am down to about 126...pre prego weight=124!!! I'm getting close. I bet I will lose that when I stop nursing and could probably lose more if I worked out. I need a buddy. hahaha
-best friend just got home from her mission in Brazil!!!
Between the 5 of us...
2 Husbands
3 Missions
2 Babies (both mine)
These were my best friends in high school. Shaylor, Josh, Bethany, and Arielle. This was at Bethany's get together after Church this last sunday. Sadly Arielle wasn't able to be there due to her now living in Chicago. We were able to crop her in.
My momma took me shopping this weekend. IT was such a nice treat. It was mostly because we are having family pictures when Chad gets home and I needed to have some colored pants. Then it turned into a shopping spree. This is one of the tops and pants I got. This top is kind of funky because it has usper loose sleeves...but they don't connect which is what I am trying to show in the picture on the left. It's really comfortable and I like the color. But it's just weird that it doesn't connect the front to the back.
Chris is the best. He let me go with my mom and Adria to help get Adria settled in down at Snow where she is going to svhool. IT was a fun little girls trip. It's about an hour drive and it's jsut a teeny town. Very cute. She's already having a blast. Payton spent a lot of time in her carseat and I spent a lot of time feeding her out in the car while my mom and sister ran into Wal-Mart. Mom was a great grandma and snuggled up with Payton while she napped so Adria and I could work on some room decor. This slippers are AWESOME! Adria's missionary gave them to her...they are from oobies. Never heard of them before. They are very comfy and then have an awesome thick sole on them so you can walk outside and not ruin the shoe. Payton of course loved being the center of attention when it wasn't about Adria. She was smiling at my mom in that top right picture. What a great weekend with my mom and sister. Thanks for letting me join!!
Well I will keep updating as we hopefully receive some incites for interviews. Still crossing our fingers. we won't be stress free till we get accepted...(hopefully it does) and then after that there will always be stressful things. haha
Loved your update! You are TINY! That top is really cute and....wow! Rolling over is exciting! Jayden does it every now and then but nothing consistent yet :) If you lived here still I'd be your exercise buddy.
