10 months

I really can't believe that it has been 10 months already since our sweet Peyton was born. She is such a joy and makes us so happy! I was late on her 9 month appt because we changed Drs. and we just had it today. She is such a tiny little thing!

Weight: 17 lbs, 14 oz (18%)
Height: 28 in (43%)

It's crazy to think she's that small since she's been wearing 12 month clothes for a while now and even some 18 months. Jackson was always small so I'm not at all surprised, it's just funny to think that almost everyone I know who has babies around the same age are bigger than her. I think she will be a petite lil thing, which is great since her Mama isn't and always wanted to be :) A few things about Peyton at this age:

*She is trying so hard to walk on her own, she took 4 steps yesterday!
*LOVES climbing the stairs and does it every chance she gets
*She laughs at herself and everything else, she's become such a little cheeser
*She is waving and clapping and is so proud of herself when she does it
*Peyton just adores Jackson and wants to be by him all the time
*Says Mama, Dada, and we swear that she says Kitty when she sees our cat
*She has started to get mad at us when we take something away from her and it cracks us up
*Just last night Josh told her 'no' for the 1st time and she stuck her little lip out and gave him the saddest look ever, which again cracked us up (are we mean or what??)
*You wouldn't know it since she's so small but she loves to eat

YAY!

Congratulations to my sister Hilary and her husband Sterling - Baby #3 is due in September!!

Gettin' Hitched

No, not me...my brother Cameron proposed to his gorgeous girlfriend Jill yesterday! They are ridiculously cute together and we are so happy for them! Josh knew Jill from a job in Logan and we actually set them up, so yes we are taking credit for this whole thing :) . They are getting married in June and I for one can't wait to have another cool girl in the family! We love you guys so much and are SO happy for you!!!

Dirty 30

I've had a lot of people asking if I've seen results with my first 30 days of P90X, and I'm happy to report that I have! I've only lost 4 pounds, but I've lost an inch off both my arms and waist, and 2 inches off my hips. Seeing results, even subtle changes, has really motivated me to keep going. It really is such a great workout, even if some (see Yoga post below) are way way too hard. I still have a long way to go, but am happy with the progress I've made so far. I can tell I'm stronger and can keep up with Tony and his evil minions so much more than when I first started. Thanks everyone for caring and keeping me motivated!

Christmas...a tad late

So I'm just a little tardy posting these pictures. We had such a great holiday, the Christmas season is so much fun with kids! This was the first year Jackson understood who Santa was (which came in quite handy while disciplining that's for sure!). He was so excited Christmas morning and would gasp at everything he saw and said 'Oh WOW!' at all of his gifts. Peyton was slightly less enthusiastic about the whole thing. We thought she would have a ball with all the wrapping paper but instead she would just tear a corner off and want to eat it - silly girl! Jackson and I made a Christmas Countdown because he would ask every morning how many days till Christmas. I mean let's face it, he's 3 and even after we made it he still asked all the time, but it was fun to have a visual and to have him countdown the days.
