POTTY TRAINING

 

This post is late but I wanted to put it in so I would have it on record. We started the potty training venture Oct 10th. It was so easy with Faith! One day we decided to go cold turkey to panties and we never looked back. She was ready because it was a VERY easy transition! She has only had a few accidents TOTAL since the day she went diaper free!

We had prizes from the dollar store for everyday that she stayed dry, and for a while she got a sticker and an M&M every time she went in the potty. Here is picture of her Sticker Page. I couldn’t be more proud of her! I hope Peyton will be this easy to potty train!

One Year!

Peyton turned ONE on Dec. 1st! I’m so thankful that its not this time last year. The first of December was a rough one around here. Peyton is doing really well. He always is so happy and ready to learn and exlore! He is much more curious than Faith was at his age.He loves to explore EVERYTHING!! His sweet and laid back spirit compliments his sister.

STATS:

Size 4 diapers

He got his first 2 bottom teeth the day after his first birthday!

size 12 mo. clothes

Loves, grapes, oranges, green beans, goldfish, cheese, and tries most anything.

He is off Formula!

Naps two times a day total of about 3 hrs a day

Goes to bed around 7:30.

Still wakes up some at night. Most nights he puts himself back to sleep though.

ALMOST walking!

Talking a little bit. momma, dadda, dog

Peyton’s Birthday

Peyton turned ONE on Dec. 1st. We celebrated his birthday on Saturday with family. We ordered Pizza, I made owl cupcakes and I purchase a smash cake for the occasion. Peyton loved his pizza and cake. It was a laid back but a fun day! I can’t believe that the Lord blessed us with this little guy a year ago. He is such special addition to our family! We love you so much Pey-Pey!

           

Finally finished them!

So I decided to take the plunge and sew drapes ALL by myself. I have made plenty of drapes with the direction of mom and with us teaming up together but never solo. I really wanted to make curtains for the kitchen so I took the challenge! It took me about 2-3 weeks working on them off and on but they are finished! I think they turned out great! This a pic from my phone. I will post a better one later! They are cream and avocado green chevron stripe! LOVE THEM!!!

11months

Peyton is a busy little guy these days. He is pulling up and cruising all over the place. Last night he did take one step but couldn't get anymore out of him. He is able to stand alone for several seconds, but hasn't realized he can take steps too. He is sleeping through the night most nights. When I say sleeping through the night I mean I don't have to go in his room. He wakes up every night crying once or twice but puts himself back to sleep after a minute or so.

Pumpkin Picking

 

Sorry this post is a little late. Better late than never I guess. Life has been nuts lately. We went to the pumpkin patch on Oct 7th. I’m glad that we went early because the summer heat caused the pumpkin crop to not be as good this year. The kids had fun playing the fields. Judy was in town so she came along. It was nice to have extra help holding Peyton. This is our 3rd year to go to the Mc Garrah farms!
