Big Brother and Little Sister

I think Cody has fallen even more in love with his little sister then before. He loved her that you could see and he talked about her all the time. But in the last month its unbelievable how much he has fallen for her. Sunday he got her out of bed changed her diaper and took her with him back to his room. I really couldn't tell you how long they were in there talking and playing. Today I caught him playing Teenage Turtles with her. They had the normal turtles out, the baby turtles(these are the ones she got to play with) and the trucks that go with it. She was holding her turtles, laughing and talking Cody was taken his turtle and talk to hers. It was just so darn cute.

Dad came home for lunch today and his little girl woke up just before he had to leave, so he was holding her in his chair and Cody walked by and said hi to Payten. She looked up at him gave her big smile and lunged out of dads arms for Cody. It was so funny!!

He even said to me today when I needed to pull out the pizza you just finish up with supper, I'll finishing feed Payten her peaches.

Playing in Cody's room - trying on his glasses

Watching Big brother play Wii

Trav and I just had this talk the other day our biggest fear is when she starts running around he doesn't decide he wants nothing to do with her. Right now Payten is Cody's 1 fan.

She's 6 Months Old!!!!!

6 months 1 month

Can you believe it? To be honest I can't. We have our 6 month appointment in the morning, I can't wait to see how much she weights.

What can we do at 6 months:

• roll over -tummy to back and back to tummy


• sit up forever (ok not forever but its a long time)


• starting to army crawl -she gets so mad if her toys are just out of reach so she is starting to figure out a way to get them


• Foods -cereal, peaches, pears, peas, zucchini, sweet potatoes, and what ever else she can con someone into making it small enough to give it to her


• playing with her toys and her brothers toys

Weight- 13 lbs 4 oz (7th percentile)

Height- 24 1/4 inches (8th percentile)

So just to compare my kids a little bit, (since they are peanuts) Cody is 9 1/2 years old and he only weighted 59 lbs at his check up today.

Here are some of my favorites:

I was so happy with them! There were a lot more too but I'm sure you get the idea from these. Thanks Barb!

Another week gone

Wow where does the time go. Payten will be 6 months old on Monday. We have our doctor appointments later next week. Kinda funny we have our 6 month and 4 grade well check ups on the same day. Payten is getting so strong, turning on her tummy and back, sitting up, and trying to get on all fours. She is learning how to get to her toys if you put them just out of reach.

July 4th!!!!

On the 4th we had a nice quite day. We went to the lake the kids had a great time on the boat.

My boat ride, like the pink life jacket!

Cody sure thinks he's smart driving the boat!

My turn daddy -- can't forget to let Payten drive! She looks so serious when she is driving.

Visiting Great Grandma Johnson

The kids, Laura, Shayne and I all went to visit Grandma Johnson on July 3rd.
