Yesterday we had both girls WELL visits at the Dr. Payton is done with shots until about 11 yrs old. She got her last round of Boosters at her 4yr visit last year. But, poor Paisley it’s only just begun for her shots. :( I must say she did much better this time than at her 2mo WELL visit. She cried, but stopped once I picked her up.

Payton Stats:

Weight: 48lbs 4oz (90%)

Height: 46inches (97%)

Paisley Stats:

Weight: 14lbs 8ounces (75%)

Height: 25 1/2inches (90%)

23 Months

Just one more month till our baby girl is TWO years old!!!!!!! Wow, where does the time go? I get kind of emotional when I think about how fast it has gone by!!

Payton is up to so much!!

For starters, she has started to bite me, and only me. She will bite through my shirt and actually she has done it through my pants while standing in line at Lowes. She gets spanked for this. I think the first time was maybe an accident, but now she does it because she thinks it is funny. Mommy doesn’t find it very funny. It hurts pretty bad!!

If I sneeze, she says “Bless you Mommy”

She tells me “I love you Mommy”

Payton has really started throwing a lot of things! Of course she throws a ball, but at times she will throw her shoe, the remote, anything she is trying to give us. She isn’t trying to hurt us, but sometimes it does!

Payton LOVES shoes! She always wants to put on her shoes. She loves to change her clothes. She still likes to pick out her clothes, and it has been hard to get her to put on her “spring/summer” clothes. She is getting better by the day though!

Payton is a very picky eater. It is really hard to find things that she likes to eat. Here lately she hasn’t had much of an appetite. And mostly I think that has to do with her not feeling so well.

Loves to talk about Darter and Tae, Parker and Grace.

Always sings, “Where is Darter, Where is Darter” Or “Where is Mommy, Where is Daddy” “Where is Tayton, Where is Tayton” (Payton)

Payton is making lots of sentences. She repeats anything we say. Sometimes it is funny, even the hard words she will repeat. She will ask “What’s that Mommy” and when I tell her, she repeats it!

Loves the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. We still watch a few Word Worlds and Barneys here and there.

Wears size 5 diapers.

We started buying 3T clothes because all of her 24mo/2T clothes were getting too short. 3T is still big on her, but the length is good!!

Wears size 8 shoes.

Payton goes to bed around 8:30 and wakes up 12 hours later, usually.

Taking about and hour and a half nap each day. Some days we miss nap, she will fight it once or twice a week.

LOVES to go outside. She still loves her “baby swing” that’s what she calls it!! Enjoys playing in the sand cart outside.

Payton has really become such a good “mommy” to her babies. She is starting to “pretend” play. She will put her babies night night and sometimes pretend to feed them. At times I have found her talking to her babies, sort of how I talk to her. It is so sweet, and makes me smile!! She gives them kisses and hugs too!!

We have big plans for the week of her Birthday! I am excited to do fun things with her that week, Phil will be home with us!!

I will add pictures later! Just hasn’t been pretty to go outside and snap some! Maybe later today I will!!

22 Months

 

Today Payton is 22 Months Old!!!! 2 more months until she is a TWO YEAR OLD!!! Oh this makes me sad!! I mean happy, but I want her to stay a baby! Not how it works out, I know!! :)

I will say that this month started out as being very WHINY!!!! But, she has overcome that somewhat the past week or so.

I don’t have any pictures to post. I will try to take some later and post. But, I wanted to get all this good info posted so I wouldn’t forget!!! :)

What is Payton up too? OH SO MUCH!!

Loves to talk! I find that she says a new word everyday!! Sometimes she even says stuff, and I have to stop and think “How on earth did she know how to say that?”

  • Payton tells you “Bless you” when you sneeze
  • If you are sitting down, she tells you “Get up, Mommy”
  • Tells you she wants “snack in bowl”
  • Started trying to tell me what color things are. Her favorite color to say is “Purple & Blue” She doesn’t always get them right, but hey were on the right path, I think!
  • If someone is over, and they head to the bathroom.. She tells me (i.e. Papaw tee-tee.. I tell her that’s right, then when she hears the toilet flush.. she says Papaw ALL none) Makes me smile!! :)
  • Will randomly yell out “Ta, Darter, Marla” Grace, Parker, Aunt Marla
  • Says “Basketball” (not perfectly of course…) she loves to play with her ball outside and throw it in the basketball goal
  • When she plays with cars she says “vroom, vroom” and drives the truck or car back n forth
  • Loves her chanchet (BLANKET)
  • Payton sings “I love you,  you love me” from Barney. And it is very clear to understand! So sweet!!
  • When Mickey Mouse Clubhouse starts.. they do a role call.. Donald, Daisy, Pluto…etc, and she yells all of their names out!! Makes me SMILE!!!!
  • Payton says THANK YOU after just about everything.. Hope this sticks forever :)
  • Payton says Bye-Bye, See ya laler (Later)
  • Always telling me pants, shirt, socks… She loves to change her clothes and pick out what she wants to wear
  • Loves to eat at her little table. This is pretty much where she eats at every meal
  • When we pull into the driveway she says “Were home”
  • When she sees something she thinks is neat I guess.. She says “OH WOW”
  • She says “It’s Night Night time”

 

Payton is shy. It takes her a little bit of time to warm up to people she doesn’t know. She loves her Aunts, cousins, and grandparents!!

FOOD: WE WASTE A LOT OF FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!! Payton is SUCH a picky eater. I do not know what else to do… I guess she will eat when she wants… But, it is frustrating at times when she won’t eat hardly anything. Makes it hard for me to want to cook anything for dinner. I am always having to make two things. Something for Phil and I, and then something for Payton!!

These are a few things she eats. But, not every time will she even eat these things. It is hit or miss.

  • Pizza
  • Chicken Nuggets (Loves Ketchup)
  • Cheese
  • Cheese its
  • Bananas
  • Oranges
  • Spaghetti
  • Raisins
  • Grapes
  • Doritos
  • Cheetos
  • Popsicles (I have started buying the sugar free.. then I do not feel so bad)

 

Payton loves to go outside! I am not looking forward to the hot summer days.. But I think we will be spending a lot of time at the pool again this summer! She had been playing in her sand and water cart a lot lately. And really enjoys to swing!

Loves to watch TV. And maybe I let her watch it too much, but most of the time I feel like she is learning a lot. I think that is where she learns some of the stuff she says when I know I haven’t taught her that! Her favorites are Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Word World, Barney, and anything else on KERA.

SLEEP:

  • Goes to bed around 8:30
  • Sleeps 12 hours or more
  • Take one nap, at 1:30 p.m. and sleeps about 2 hours usually
  • Takes her baby, Minnie, and another baby to bed with her. As well as her chachet (Blanket)
  • The only baby she cuddles with is her “BABY” she hold her through the night, or at least I think she does because each time I go to check on her she is holding only her and the other baby’s are on the other side of the crib

 

Wears size 4 diapers, just using them all up and then she will start wearing size 5.

Wears size 2T clothes.

Getting better at brushing her teeth. Still a challenge on most days.

Wears size 8 shoes.

21 Months

DSC_0560
Today Payton Ann is 21 Months!!! Where does the time go? You are doing SO much more each day.
Payton, you are very particular about your shirts. You have to wear long sleeves, and your sleeves have to be pulled down. If they aren’t, you are not a happy camper!! I am not sure what you will do when she starts wearing shorts sleeves come spring and summer!! You also hate when your shirts ride up (don’t we all, HA) but you will start saying “SHIR, SHIR” so I know that her shirt must be our of place!
Payton, you let me know when you “poo-poo”. If you haven’t already pooped then you are getting ready too and you let me know. (I know maybe I should start the training.. we will soon enough, I am in no rush).  (One day she told me “Mommy, tee-tee potty” and I asked “Do you want to go sit on the potty?” She replied with “No, yeah” (Which means YES) So I took her to sit on the potty, she didn’t do anything. But I will not tell her no when she asks!!
You love to eat your snacks in bowls from your kitchen. You have started saying “Bowl” now. Before, all you would say is “In there, in there” and we knew you wanted it in a bowl. I still offer you snacks from bowls from our cabinets, but you usually will transfer them into a bowl from your kitchen set.
Each night I rock you before bedtime. (The only time I don’t is when you are throwing a fit and won’t sit still, then I just go and put you in your bed, we will cover that story in a minute). Anyways, I tell you “I love you” and you reply back to me “i wove you” OH I can’t say it enough…… MELTS MY HEART!!!!!!!!!! So stinking sweet!!!!!!!!!
You will open her arms as wide as you can and say “HUG” and you smile when you do it!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!
When you wakes up in the morning, you are not always in the best mood. Some days are better than others. But, you always wants to change your clothes. You pull on your sleeper and says “Off” and then says “Shir” You want a shirt and pants on. You are also going through the stage where you will pick out the shirt and pants you want to wear, and they do not always match. MOST of the time I can pursued you to change your mind.. but not always. So I let you wear it! (That is why most of her outfits are repeated in pictures on the blog posts)
When you say “Daddy” you aren’t saying  “DADDY” anymore.. it’s more like “Dayee, Dayee” You will yell it from one room of the house to another. It is so funny. I guess I yell across the house for him, so maybe that’s why you do it too! :) You also say “Dayee wor'” for Daddy is at work.
It is always a challenge for me to brush your teeth. But the past week we have been doing this each day. I gave up for awhile because it was such a battle. But, your teeth were really starting to bother me.. so I hold you down and sometimes have to pry your mouth open! But, it gets done!! For your own good!! :)
When you want us to hold you.. you now say “Hold me” just last month you were saying “Hold you.”
When you are watching Word World, you can tell us who all the animals are. We usually don’t even ask you, you just say yell it!
You love Minnie Mouse "Miiii mouuu” but we don’t watch Mickey’s Clubhouse that often. You always want to watch Word World or Barney.
Three of your favorite things to eat this past month has been cheese, red grapes, and raisins. Never leave the house without these things!
You still enjoy chicken nuggets and pizza. Very particular about what you try… You usually want to try what we are eating, but when we go to give you a bite, you inch up to taste it. Pretty funny.
When we tell you something you usually say “Otay” for “Okay”
Or you will say “Otay Mommy” SO SWEET
You say “No, yah” for “yes” Maybe soon you will leave the NO out of it!!
You are making lots of sentences. Well 3 or 4 words. I consider that sentences. And most of the time they do make sense.
Loves talking about Darter and Tay (Parker and Grace).
You love to color. You were doing pretty good with not coloring on things that you weren’t supposed too… but you have started becoming more brave and wanting to color on things…. So I have to watch you very closely!!
Payton is very shy. When you are around people you don’t  know very well or know at all you will usually put you head down on Mommy or Daddy. Takes you a little bit to warm up.
Loves to play “Mommy” she  feeds her baby, lays her in the baby crib (for a doll), and tells us to “shhh”. Priceless.
Becoming more of a battle to get her in bed. It is always hard because right before it’s time to go to bed it seems like she always gets in a good and playful mood! So some nights, her bedtime seems to get later and later. She doesn’t want to be still anymore so that I can rock her. So most nights, I have to just lay her down.. and she cries for a bit.
Loves to sit at your little table that we got you for Christmas. I let you eat there if you want too.
Wears size 24 month/2T clothes.
Wears size 4 diapers (Pampers)
Size 7 shoe (But just purchased a new pair of Nike’s today size 8)
I am starting to get sad that she is growing up so fast. I know that is part of it, but seems like only yesterday we brought her home from the hospital!!
We love you Payton Ann, you are the best thing that has ever happened to Mommy and Daddy!!

19 Months

DSC_0470

Another month has passed us by.

What is Payton up to? OH SO MUCH!!! She is quite the little rascal.

Saying all kinds of words. Here are some that I can think of off the top of my head. (kind of a lot.. :) )

And some of these words she doesn’t say how they are spelt… but I don’t know how to spell it like she say it… HA

    • Mommy
    • Daddy
    • Darter (Parker)
    • Gee (Grace)
    • Phul (Phil) She likes to copy what I say A LOT

    • Sahh (Sock)
    • Shew (Shoe)
    • Shir (Shirt)

    • Oh no
    • Nigh-Nigh (Night-Night)
    • Cold
    • Hot
    • Diaper

She will just about repeat anything you ask her too. Her speech is very clear, to me anyway.

Just since yesterday she has started saying “ NO” for everything. Even when she means YES. I don’t know what brought this on. It was seriously like we woke up yesterday and she forgot to tell us UH-HUH after everything, so instead she says “NO”  Which makes things quite interesting.

She loves to say “Mommy, hold you” in the SWEETEST voice EVER!!! I bet she says it 100 times a day, and my heart melts every time she says it. I seriously love the way she says it. Makes me smile just thinking about it!

She loves to be held. I probably spend most of my day holding her/sitting in my lap.

Since Christmas is around the corner we have been trying to get her to say things like “Santa” and Snowman” She responds very well. Gosh she is growing up so fast.

She has become a pretty picky eater. It is hard for me to find things that she will eat, and actually eat well.

Here are some things she eats/drinks. And some are on occasion.

    • Chicken nuggets with ketchup
    • Apples
    • Applesauce
    • Yogurt
    • oranges
    • Cheese
    • Tacos
    • Strawberries
    • Bananas
    • Milk
    • Water
    • Juice (just started letting her have this)
    • Rice

Payton loves to play with her babies. She is constantly carrying them around with a purse on her shoulder and goes and gets into her Cozy Coupe car. We can’t go anywhere without baby. If we leave without her, you better turn the car around to get her.

She has started putting coins in her piggy bank. She loves to do this. We have to watch her closely because sometimes she likes to try and put them in her mouth. But, for the most part she is good about not doing it.

Loves to be outside. I’m not sure what we will do when it is too cold to go out.

She goes to bed between 7:30 and 8:00

Sleeps usually 12 hours

Takes 1-2 hour naps (depends on the day)

She is wearing size 4 diapers

Has a lot of teeth

Wears 24 months/2T clothes

Size 7 shoe

    Payton loves her baby. I feel like she has become more attached to it here recently. She always wants to hold it when she goes night night and always grabs it before we leave to go bye-bye.
    Here are a few pictures from our morning at the park with Kelli and Garrett.

    16 Months

     DSC_0425

    Happy 16 months Payton Ann!!!!

    You are such a busy body!!! Talking so much more. You are Miss Independent that is for sure. You think you are bigger than you really are!!

    Payton has really started to throw fits when she doesn’t get her way. I am not sure if this is normal or if it is because I give her everything she wants. I am sure some of both. Sometimes I just have to laugh at her. I get so frustrated at times so then I give in and let her have her way…. Probably not the best decision. When we are at home and she gets mad she goes and stand in the corner between the couch and the TV stand. I usually have a box of toys there but I moved them a few weeks ago and since then that is where she goes and cries. She doesn’t stay there long. But it is just funny that she does that.

    So what is she up to these days???
