Our New Blog

So, what do you think? We got a blog-over from our friend Rebecca at Just a Little Bit of Something Extra Creations! We know the blog is a little crazy, but it is for Bubba and Chicky (yes, that is what we call the kids)...and they are, well crazy!

Green Gunk

I took Payton to the doctor yesterday because she has been sick. Her nose has been flowing like a river with green gunk! They gave us an antibiotic and it seems to be helping. She is so much more enjoyable when she is happy and healthy! Oh, and she weighed in at 22 lbs 8 oz!!

Ears, Ears and More Ears

I took Payton to the ENT today because I thought she had an ear infection because she has not been feeling that great. They said there was no infection, but that there was still fluid in her ears. She also had a hearing test and pretty much failed it. :( We are having her second set of tubes put in on May 30. We are hoping she won't have to have micro tubes this time since they appear to be worthless! That will all depend on the size of her ear canals and whether or not they have gotten bigger since the last time she had tubes.

Payton scaling the stairs...

Here she is going up the stairs...I finally got the video to work! Isn't she adorable?! Oh, and don't mind the scab on her nose...yeah, she had a little accident...we won't go there!

Payton Update

Payton is doing so well, I just have to brag for my girl! She has been pulling up like a pro for a couple months now; she is hands and knees crawling 100% of the time now...she looks so cute with her little butt wagging all over...LOL; she steps with assistance...we are working on getting her to step with only one hand assisted...she isn't quite there - she wants both hands for stability still; and she is going up the stairs like a rock star now...I have video, but for some reason I'm having problems downloading it. I'll try again tomorrow.

Here is some crawling video:


She is still on two bottles a day and I need to make myself take more time out to work on drinking with her. She can use a straw and takes liquid from a sippy and even an open cup, but you know we live in the fast paced lane and the bottle is easy to fall back on. If only I had 10 free hours a day. Sigh.

Eating...she is still getting some jar food, but we are working on weaning that out as well. She has some sensory issues with any wet or slimy foods. She would eat french fries all day long, but put a piece of pasta in her mouth and out it comes. She did eat little pieces of pizza tonight though, and that was new for her!
