I just love this picture of Payton....she was running around me in circles, and I caught this precious smile I get to see all day!

We have a big boy on our hands! We went to the Dr. on Monday and we weight 13 pounds! Payton was 6 months old before she weighed that much!That is the 95th percentile for weight and he was 23 inches which is 90th percentile for height!Parker did have to have 3 shots...booo! He had a shiny band-aids and all! He ran a fever for a few days, but it didn't seem to phase him one bit!

Summer fun

We are so enjoying this summer and all the fun it is holding! Parker is getting a little personality and Payton is showing hers off to the fullest! I can already tell we will be spending lots of time in the water outside because it is sooo hot! These kiddos are the best..and aren't they the cutest!

Close call!

I had to take these pics before church a few weeks ago...the kids looked so cute, and we were all actually ready a few minutes early! I labeled this a close call because after church we had planned to go to chilies for lunch with some friends, and Payton decided to get sick in the parking lot...twice! I am so glad it wasn't in the car or in the restaurant! But I was so worried about Parker because Payton had been kissing on him all morning! Thankfully we were all ok, and after a day or so Payton started to feel better.

Parkers first bottle!

Well Brian got to feed Parker his first bottle a few weeks ago. I wanted to wait until he was a month old before we tried it, and he did great! He sucked it right down! He has now take a bottle 4 or 5 times since then, and we are good to go! I feel like a free woman!

Payton and her coaches with her trophy!



A few weeks ago (yes I am playing major blog catch up!) My uncle John came and brought Parker his baby's first art. I think they are precious! I am going to get a big frame and frame around all of them. It was great for him to be here and hang out with us. He even went with us to Payton's last soccer game. We had such a fun time watching her and this has definitely been a learning season! She really does love playing and she has a really good kick!

Tummy Time...

Parker loves his tummy time! He would sleep so well on his tummy if we let him! Good thing he likes his back! Anyway...he is getting so good at holding his head up, even though it isn't the best pic of him, it shows how strong his neck is...and his big sister decided she needed some tummy time too!

All Smiles

Well this fun little boy has decided to learn to smile! And his sister loves him so much! We are having so much fun being a family of four, and Payton is such a good big sister, she can't get enough of him! She is so sweet with him and really is a big help being able to go get things for me and she loves to hold him.
