Hey sweet babies!


February is here and I cannot believe it! Payton, you turn 9 months old this month!!! Brody, you are growing and learning like crazy!!!

Brody, this month you did well in school! You are learning lots and enjoying being with your friends. You can count to 10 easily, say your ABC's, spell your name, recognize letters, know all your colors, can say many colors in Spanish, can count in Spanish, memorized your first Bible verse, and love singing "Jesus loves me" and "My God is number One". Ocassionally you will throw in "Baby Jesus we love you!" (Christmas song!) You had your first ear infection this month. It got bad quick. You woke in the middle of the night saying it hurt. We decided to let you try school. You kept complaining so we made you an appointment for later that afternoon. In the afternoon you screamed and screamed and you did have one. Later on, your ear drum ended up bursting!! Poor boy! You had blood in your ear and nose! So we had to do antibiotics and ear drops. You did not like either but took your meds ok. But after a check-up, it all seems healed up! 

We also had our first snow. You loved playing in it! We took you sledding again this year and you LOVED it, unlike last year. We did it a million times. You also built a snowman with daddy in the front yard and you used rock from our fireplace for eyes and a mouth. :) We are also looking at houses this month and you have dont so great going in and out a million of them. You love running around the empty ones!




Payton, you had your 9 month check up this month!! You weighed in at 21 pounds and 27 1/2 inches. 75% for weight and 65% for height! Our chunky healthy girl! You experienced snow for the first time in your life this month! You are NOT a fan. You dont like the warm clothes, the cold, or trying to "play" with it. You just wanted to go inside and be warm and watch bubba and daddy! Who can blame a girl! :) You scoot and crawl every where! You are fast! You put everything in your mouth that you touch! You have an obsession with Maverick food and water bowl. We have to watch you like a hawk!! You also got another ear infection at the end of the month! It started with RSV. You had lots of drainage, which turned into a double ear infection! :( You had to take Augmentin and we all hated it! Bad diarrhea which led to a bad diaper rash. If you keep getting these we may be looking at getting you tubes. :( I hope they are done!!!


For Valentines, Brody had Valentines that said "I wheelie like you" with motorcycles attached. Payton's said "You blow me away" with bubbles attached! Mommy and daddy had a date night at the church on the 13th. They provided child care! You both did great. Payton, you were the only baby who went to sleep (It ended about 9/9:30) while all the other babies cried! You go girl!!! :) Everyone talks about what a great baby you are. And I agree!


Yall had lots of one-on-one time with parents this month. Mommy had to stay late one night for Math night at school so you both got lots of Daddy time!! Daddy went on Winter retreat at the end of the month so we had a mommy weekend! Lots of fun!! We played in the "mud", had tickle fights, played with play clay, went to church, and facetimed. Brody, you were so excited to see daddy when he pulled up. You ran right outside at the church right too him! I had to stop my conversation with someone so I could catch you! :) You are a daddy's boy! You reminded me often that you missed daddy!! :) Thats a good thing!
