Okay! Are you ready for this?! This is a super post! These are some pictures I took from the past couple of weeks of some of the events that took place! Buckle up, here we go!
This is Paige smiling! I try to capture these moments as often as possible just because. Oh yeah, and I wanted to get a picture of her teeth, they're so cute!
This is a picture that Peyton took of Paige outside while playing. He is quite the photographer these days. Look how he also captured the basketball hoop in the back, he's such an artist.
This is Paige sitting up all by herself! She is doing really good but still falls over sometimes. I took some video of her sitting up but they are only a few seconds long because she just didn't want to perform for the camera that day, I at least got some snapshots.
Mommy and Peyton decided to make some cookies one night. Peyton loved to help by stirring the ingrediants, and dipping the cookie balls into sprinkles, and he ate alot of sprinkles. I'm not sure how much actually got on the cookies, but needless to say we are out of sprinkles now. Earlier that night I was making dinner and Peyton was just rummaging around the pantry. Then he came running over to the silverware drawer, grabbed a spoon and ran back to the pantry. A couple minutes later I went to check on him and he was dipping his spoon into the sugar container and eating it! You know that commercial where it says "Would you let your kids do this?" and they are doing that very thing! It was very funny, I laughed so hard, so he started laughing, but then did not understand why I made him stop.
Here is the final product, Peyton wanted to take the picture.
This is Peyton this morning in Paige's play saucer. He somehow got into it and was pretending to be a baby the way Paige plays with it.
And here are the kids just playing together on the floor. This reminds me of a picture I took when Paige was first born, Peyton is looking at her that same way.
My car was so dirty, it hasn't been washed in weeks, maybe months. So Peyton and I washed the car since the weather was soooo nice last week. We had a good time and Peyton got soaked.
This is kind of dark, but this is Peyton watching cartoons at Jamie and Lauren's house on Thanksgiving. We had a good time eating and talking with the big family together minus Jon and Becky's family. Peyton had such a good time with his cousins, they played together the whole time.
One night last week Peyton was being very quiet and I asked Josh what he was doing and he said he was just playing. So I went to check to see what he was playing and he had a whole bag of powdered sugar in a big pile on the couch and he's got it all over his face and hands and he's sucking on his fingers. Powdered sugar makes a really paste when wet. Later we found another big pile of it on the floor. I thought it was so funny, Josh didn't so much.
And finally Peyton and I decorated the Christmas tree last week. I handed him ornaments and he did a really good job at hanging them. He could only reach the bottom third of the tree so I did the rest, but it looks great. We've got all of our decorations out now and our furniture is arranged so that everything fits into the living room. We did most of Christmas shopping already, the kids are pretty much done, we just have a few things to get still, but we are so excited for Christmas this year. I think more than any other year. We've been watching Christmas movies and singing Christmas songs before bedtime. Peyton's favorite songs are Rudolph, Santa's coming to town, and Jingle Bells. He loves it when I laugh sing Jingle Bells ("...laughing all the way. hahaha.") Can't wait for Christmas. I love this time of year.
We bundled Paige up to keep her warm, it was soooo cold! And we thought she looked really cute in her new snow hat.
This is just a cute picture I took of the kids practicing with my new camera.
Peyton and Paige on Christmas Eve in their new pajamas. They love each other. Peyton takes such good care of Paige.
Christmas Morning! Paige loved the ribbons and bows! Who cares about the actual presents! Gimme some paper!
Peyton's new love. This train track is set up in the living room currently and every time we walk in the front door he acts like it's Christmas all over again! He spends hours a day playing with his 'choo choo', aka 'chi cha'.
