A look back

I decided to take a look back and see if my kids look alike at the same stages in life. So I put together a collage of them as newborns, at about 2-3 months and then with me at their blessings.

The first row all the way to the left are all Jayden, the middle are all Madyson and the right side are all Payton. do you think they look alike?

Madyson and the potty

So every time my mom has come to visit she usually asks Madyson if she wants to potty, and takes her. She has gotten her to poop and pee randomly, but while she was here for the blessing she took her a couple times in the evening before bed one night and she went pee all three times. She gets so excited and has a huge smile on her face and claps for herself. So I have been taking her when she wakes up in the morning, before nap, after nap, before bed and any time I take Jayden. She goes almost every single time. She runs into the bathroom when you ask her if she wants to go potty and loves to flush the toilet. I am not really trying to potty train her since Jayden still doesn't poop on the potty, so maybe she will just pick it up since this is working well right now. She is such a big girl, I couldn't imagine her little tiny bum in big girl panties, they would probably fall right off of her.

Payton's Blessing

We blessed Payton this last weekend on the 7th, so my parents came to town and Breanna and Landon came and stayed at the house with us. My mom made his blessing outfit and it turned out so cute. I love it. He did really during the blessing and it went great. After the blessing we had family and a couple friends over for a late lunch early dinner, and the food was really good. We had enchiladas (white and red sauce), spinach dip bread bowl, grapes, cake, chips, salsa and candy.

Payton at 2 1/2 months (10.1 pounds 23 1/4 inches)

6 Weeks

I had to take Payton in at 6 weeks because he was spitting up a ton. So they weighed him in at 8 pounds 12 ounces. I can't believe he gained 2 pounds in 3 weeks. They put him on a different formula to try to limit his spitting up. It seems to have worked so far but they also think he might have reflux. So in a week we will update the doctor and see if he needs medication for it. Overall he has been doing good, he is a really good baby and sleeps for 4-5 hours in the night. I also have made some birth announcements to send out and this is what they are going to look like:

Sorry it's small, it is from the website and I couldn't get it any bigger

My baby girl is getting so big!!

Madyson is getting so big, I can't even believe it. I guess when you bring a new baby in the house every one seems so big compared. But she is starting to pick up some more words, ball, momma(finally), bird, jadey(jayden), grandma, bubbles and some others. She also has started to run, which I think is funny and so cute. I got her this dress in the pictures from old navy and loved it, she had the perfect red shoes to go with it, so it was perfect for church! Then the other pictures were just for fun, I finally got all her hair in a ponytail. She is just my smiley girl!

Being a Boy

Just thought I would throw in a little collage of Jayden. He got a basketball hoop when the baby was born and daddy had to put a sweat band on him to make it real. He went swimming at a friends house and then decided to test out the babies bouncer and feel asleep in it in his closet. So he hasn't really be doing that much so we don't have a lot of pictures of him. He spend a lot of time in time-out because he learned to hit, push and lay on top of Madyson. Gotta love the 2 year olds!!

Madyson and Payton

Madyson is so fascinated with her baby brother. She wants to hold him all the time or TRY to push him around in her baby stroller(which we do not let her do). So one night James was holding her in our bed so I laid him down with them. She threw a fit when I took him away from her. But I had to take some pictures because it was so cute.
