Friends for the weekend

Some great friends came into town to visit for a weekend, Leigh and Charles with their daughter Avery and Uncle Kurt came in from Austin to hang out. We had a fun time hanging out and swimming at the pool.

Jaxon's 4th birthday

I can't believe Jaxon is 4 years old! We went back to Keller to celebrate with Jaxon's friends, Audrey, Campbell and Ketta. It was great to see everyone!

Fun times at the pool

Its been a while since I updated, here are some pictures of our fun at the pool. Jaxon is not swimming yet by himself in the deeper area, however, he swims under the water over the steps, just not confident enough yet to try the deeper water. Payton is a water baby, the shallow water is 1 ft deep and she crawls around in it and blows bubbles and puts her face in. She has to be careful of the rowdy kids though because they make waves that splash over her head, but she takes it like a trouper!

Payton is 9 months!

Where does the time go?? Payton's updates, she is now "cruising" she loves going from the coffee table to the couch to the ottoman. She is still pretty clutzy she will crawl sometimes and end up flat on her back, or she will be standing and again fall flat on her back. I feel so bad for her when she falls because she has a great cry and can produce tears no matter what! She loves clapping and playing "patty cake" and her favorite thing is spinning around on her hiney with no hands. She weighs in at 19.04lbs and is 28 inches. She also has 2 teeth on the bottom!

Happy 8 months baby girl!!!

Payton is now 8 months and it just amazes me how fast time is going. Payton is still the smiliest baby I have ever known. I don't know what she weighs but she is a chub! She is crawling and pulling up-not very steady on her feet though. She is cutting her first tooth and she is still just as smiley- you wouldn't even know she is teething. I'm loving every single second of my baby girl!

Jaxon is still an amazing big brother. I remember back when I was first pregnant and I had my worries about him as a big brother because he is such a momma's boy, now it just seems silly that I ever worried. He loves sharing his toys with her and is incredibly patient with her, even when she has two fist fulls of his hair!

7 Months Old

I can't believe Payton is 7 months old! Time has gone by so fast! Payton is 17.10lb she can move wherever she wants to go backwards! She is really trying to crawl, but likes sitting much more! She is the sweetest little girl and always smiling! She had the flu this week and still didn't complain or cry even with a high fever. She laughs whenever you kiss her (greatest sound)!

Payton 6 Months!

Happy 6 months Miss P! This is posted a month late! I haven't been very good about keeping up with the blog lately!

Patyon is 17.4lbs 75% and 26in She says momma and dadda but since she started saying dadda she doesn't say momma anymore! :( She still adores Jaxon so much and he is still incredibly helpful with her. She had begun trying to crawl, she gets on all fours and rocks, but hasn't quite figured out much beyond that. We keep wondering when she will crawl because when Jaxon was this age he was already pulling up and holding on to furniture and walking!



Payton and I were watching dadda and Jaxon ice skate at Campbells b-day. Look at her beautiful blue eyes!
