January Month 3

Well Jan 22nd will begin our third month.

Peyton is such an awesome baby, we truly lucked out!!  First off, usually when you put a newborn in his crib he usually wakes right up, happens all of the time.  Well not for Peyton!  Thank goodness :} I was already prepared for this and thought about putting a heating pad on the mattress to warm up the sheets and move it right before I laid him down, well no need.  Love that child :}

This past month his favorites:

His snuggle bunny swing. He loves it and is in it daily.

He loves his Baby Einstein activity gym.  One day, I was working on my laptop while he was playing. I feel like someone is watching me, sure enough, Peyton was.  So I look at him and he turns away, we go back and forth like this several more times. He is hilarious!

I have also noticed that this child has more clothes than me!  Seriously, I don't think he will wear anything twice!!!  This is a bummer, as there are some very cute clothes.  I take a photo of him everyday :}

He is also getting better at changing clothes, when we play "Where's the baby?" when I have to put things over his head.

Happy 3 month birthday baby P!!

This is another in the monthly photo shoot.  

Don't you just love the jammies?

Dr. Seuss!!!

Thanks to my friend for scoring them!!

Reading books :}

Here are three months in a row-

HUGE change from month 1 to 2.

He is about 12 pounds!  :}

I think he's got the eating thing down!!!

Sorry to end on a sad note, but we had to say goodbye to our protector, Tank.

But for any further reference, P still belongs to Tank.

Well I can't end this post on a very sad note, so here was dinner at GiGi's house.  My mother decided to "feed" P butterhorns. He really liked the frosting of course!!:}

December- a month in review

We put up a limited amount of Christmas decorations this year because of all of the baby items in the living room lol

 Here are the swing and bouncy seat

and the pack and play ;}

 Tank is supervising tummy time.

This is what happens when I blow in his face-

he sticks out his tongue and his arms go up! 

This month P turned 2 months old. 

 We went out to celebrate my birthday- 

which I never did get any cake :{

Tank is always a good sport when I put P by him.

Black Friday... dark Thursday Shopping

I went shopping with 3 of my sorority sisters, we started out Thanksgiving night.


What was different about this trip is
1) this is the first time that I have gone with these girls- normally I just hear about their wild time the following day because Randy and I usually go shopping.  He is thankful that he doesn't have to go! I have only missed one Black Friday since I can remember and that was when I had my hip surgery.

2) of the 4 of us going, 3 of us have recently given birth so we are all going to have to pump!

Trying out chairs at Staples :}

Last Week in November

We had a visit from my sorority sister and her two children.

They brought these awesome gifts.

I went shopping and got all these clothes for under $30!!!

4 shirts

4 pair of pants

I have tons of shirts, but only a few pants.

We got 2 new guinea pigs.

CJ loves them!

I reversed my phone so we were looking at ourselves!

You must look closely see his long hair in the back.

I am getting ready for some football, Go Cowboys!!!!!!

Thanks to Eva for the clothes :}

Exploring job opportunities at the tire shop while we get 4 new tires on the truck (ouch)

Credit card was expired... lol they were a little mad, but what was I to do?!?!?!?

Oh well, go to school to get a card from my mom.

Took a long time because all the teachers needed to meet you! 

I love love this outfit of course.  It is from my cousin Faith.

The book is so cute- I turned to the page that said

 "Giving a bottle, is like outsourcing"

I had to chuckle a little :}

This is what my night/day looks like to feed the baby.

I am really trying to get a better schedule, like going to bed at 8.

I don't want to wake up my DH before he has to actually get up.

So if I get up at 5, I can be back in bed and asleep before he has to get up for school.

Although one day last week, I slept for 5 straight hours 

(this was before I had to feed the baby every 3 hours)

I turned over in bed and noticed DH was gone- I looked at the clock and it said 7 am, 

I couldn't understand why he was up, I sent him a text asking if he was okay,

told me that he had to fix his hair-

I still didn't understand why he was up so early fixing his hair on

a Saturday, then I realized that it was a weekday lol

The shirt came from my Godmother, Jennifer.

I have a chick on my arm and I can curl a cow with my left arm.

Here are some freebies that I have gotten recently.

The bottle is HUGE!

We used it and it seems that a lot of formula comes out the side of P's mouth. :(

4 packets of wipes

Nectresse- is a sugar sweetener

Airbone- 4 little samples

Big Hunk- it is like nougat taffy

turkey jerky- not a fan of that at all 

Pedia-lax- it is a pro biotic

dove- deodorant great for traveling... well guess I will save that for a while lol

Getting ready for Thanksgiving

We are thankful for Tank being Peyton's protector.

Thankful for a co-worker Sarah, for the brand new clothes she gave us.

AND for all of these clothes!!!!!!! 

Look closer, she even gave us Baby Shox (one of Randy's favorite shoes)

I feel a scrapbook page coming on! 

Here is CJ- wondering why she thinks this is comfy???

Randy put on his hat, then later, much later discovered an added bonus inside lol

Smooshed in his swing.

Peyton and his protector, Tank.

We had a huge scare last week with Tank.

We really didn't think that he would make it through the night.

Peyton and I slept downstairs with Tank just to make sure. 

We took Tank into the vet, but he was already acting 100 times better than the night before.

Tank is 10 and a half years old.

We think it had to do with the drastic change in the weather- change in 30+ degrees.

Next week, stay tuned for our Thanksgiving outfits :}

November 14th- no clever title

Froggy outfit and froggy blanket

 I love this photo- with his one hand up like

"Listen up here fools"

First bath at home:

 Yep, talk to the hand!

Gifts from Randy's school:

Me and baby :}

Thanks to my Godmother for my Muppets jammies.

I've had one h*ll of a day!  lol

Hummmmm........  let me think about that for a while.
