Easter Sunday

Hayley Bear

I cannot believe that my Hayley will be 7 months old in just a couple weeks!! The time has flown by so fast, it is unbelievable! She is just a doll, such a perfect little girl. And I don't apologize for telling people she is perfect....because she is :) She is truely always happy, smiling and laughing. She sleeps 12 hours consistently every night and takes great naps....makes for a well-rested and happy momma :) She is starting to sit up on her own, with some help. She loves to be in her jumperoo, she even tries to jump in my lap, lol. She loves to try to eat her toes too! She still isn't rolling over yet, but we are working on that. She does the swimming motions when she is on her belly, so she is trying to move! She just had her 6 month check up and she weighs in at 21 pounds, lol. She is such a chunker!!! And I love the fat rolls, lol. She just makes me so happy. I can't believe how God blessed us with such an amazing baby.

I'm In Love...

Now don't get me wrong....I am not playing favorites with my children, but Peyton has been so amazingly special to me lately!!! She always is...but I think that there are times when your children are exceptionally special to you for some reason :) And right now, Peyton has just captured my heart even more than she already has. She is growing up into a wonderful toddler (minus the occasional meltdowns, lol) and her personality is just so darn adorable! I may be partial because she is just like me :) She is sweet, caring, loving, sassy, strong-willed, humurous, and energetic. She just makes my heart soar and sometimes it feels like my heart could explode with the love I feel for her! I just wanted to highlight my first-born....she is quite an exceptional little girl :)

It's Been a While....

Yikes!! Wow, it has been a while since I've updated this! Life is sort of busy now with both girls, but I love it! Hayley is almost 6 months old now.....I swear the time has flown by like a million times faster than it did with Peyton. Why is it that when you are young time seems to crawl and then once you get "old" time just starts to fly? It makes me sad sometimes.....because these are the times that I want to cherish so much and remember....I just want to freeze time! Peyton and Hayley are at such fun ages that I just don't want them to get any bigger, lol.

Peyton is just such a riot. Some of the things she says and does....she is just hilarious! She is starting to use the big girl potty now more often, but I still don't think she is ready for full-on potty training. No rush for me, I think maybe once she gets closer to 3 I might start hitting it a little harder. She can count to 10 all by herself now!! And sometimes she gets to 13 too! She sings the ABCs, but you can't really make them all out, lol. She is so cuddly, she is always giving hugs and kisses and saying "I wuv you".....man that girl just melts my heart.

Hayley is just adorable, she is smiling and laughing all the time. She is so happy, sometimes Brad and I cannot even remember when she cried last (I know, I know, ridiculous huh?) She sleeps 12 hours at night, has been since she was 10 weeks old! We are so spoiled with her. She is just so content and such a sweetheart....just thinking about her makes me smile. She isn't rolling over yet, but I think that is because she is so fat, lol. She was in the 95% percentile for her weight and 85% percentile for her height at her 4 month check-up!

Here is a video I made of Peyton for her 2nd birthday

Christmas Eve!

It's almost Christmas! I am so excited to see Peyton's reaction when she comes down the stairs tomorrow morning! This age is so much fun, and she really gets into it now. She gets excited about opening presents (who wouldn't) and has been doing very well with saying "thank you" each time she opens one. And Hayley doesn't know what's going on, but we make sure to include her too :-) We had a wonderful time today with Brad's side of the family and then tonight we spent Christmas Eve with my family and my oldest sister and her two boys. We missed Daddy though....cops never get holidays off :-( Tomorrow it will just be us in the morning and then my family will be coming over for the rest of the day. I can't wait, I LOVE the holidays! Below are some pictures of the girls in their Christmas jammies......they are so cute!! It's a tradition for us, the kids always get Christmas jammies to wear Christmas Eve. Happy Birthday Jesus!!!
