Barrett's First Tooth

So, I don't have a picture because it is kinda hard to take a picture inside a 3 1/2 month old's mouth but Barrett's first tooth has broken through. It is just a tiny bit but you can see it. We have been thinking for a couple of weeks now that it was coming because of all the drooling and gnawing but you never really know. Unfortunately, I think he also has another one trying to break through so I guess he'll be a cranky a little bit longer! Congratulations Barrett!

Happy Birthday Payton!

Yesterday we went to Payton's 2nd birthday party! I can't believe she is already two! It was so much fun. There was a jump jump, cow, pony-which Paxton insisted was a horse-, and baby pigs. By far, Paxton loved the baby pigs the best. He was so protective of them and warned everyone to be gentle. Ashley and Jonathan did a great job planning! So much so, that when Paxton woke this morning he asked, "Can we go to Payton's party?'.

This is a cute picture but unfortunately they were both looking at another camera!

When Ashley put on Payton's special birthday hat, Paxton demanded that he get one too! Thank goodness Ashley had already thought of that and had a hat for all the kids!

The same thing for blowing out the candles... Paxton didn't understand that he wasn't blowing out candles, and kept trying to help Payton. Sweet Ashley put candles in another cupcake and let him blow them out. Thanks Aunt Ashley!

It took the whole party for Paxton to approach the "horse". He still wouldn't ride him.

"MOO"

These pigs were the hit of the party!

Who doesn't love a jump jump!?!?!

Growing Boys!

It's so hard to believe that Barrett is 3 months old! He is growing like a weed. He loves to eat! He weighs 15 lbs and 13 oz! He is smiling and laughing. He likes to hold things and it is wierd but he recently has developed a love for chewing on his burp clothes and bibs. Paxton started teething early and if I remember correctly, got his first tooth around 4 months so I guess Barrett is starting down that same path. Barrett is still a great sleeper, sleeping 10-12 hours a night! We are still waiting on the daily naps that last longer than 45 minutes, but we definitely don't want to rush his growing up!

On the other hand, Paxton started his new "Big Boy School" this week. It is awesome! He is now going to Auburn First Baptist where they have an amazing all day program for 2 year olds! His teachers are very sweet and he seems to really enjoy it! He brought home his first painting this week, a groundhog! He was so proud!
