Fireworks and check ups

WE ENDED UP GOING TO MY PARENTS FOR THE 4TH AND HAD A FUN TIME ALTHOUGH IT RAINED MOST OF THE TIME. IT RAINED ALL MORNING WHICH MADE GREAT MUD PUDDLES FOR PEYTON TO PLAY IN LATER. AUNT BEVERLY AND MEME CAME OUT AND WE GRILLED SOME HOT DOGS AND JUST VISTED THEN IT WAS DOWN TO GRANDMAS TO SHOOT OFF SOME FIREWORKS, NEITHER OF MY KIDS WERE TOO BIG ON THE FIREWORKS SO THEY WENT INSIDE TO NAP AND PLAY WHILE THE REST OF US WATCHED. UNFORTUNATLY WE DIDN'T GET TO SEE MANY BEFORE IT STARTED TO RAIN SO WE HEADED INSIDE FOR SOME COOKIES AND HOME MADE ICE CREAM (YUM). IT WAS FUN DESPITE THE RAIN WE ALWAYS LOVE SITTING AT GRANDMAS WHERE YOU CAN SEE FIREWORKS CLEAR TO TULSA!

4 MONTHS OLD!
FINLEE WENT IN FOR HER FOUR MONTH OLD CHECK UP AND SHE NOW WEIGHS 13.5 LBS AND IS ALMOST 24 INCHES LONG. SHE HAS BEEN SUCH A MELLOW BABY WHICH IS A BLESSING SINCE HER BROTHER IS A WILD MAN. SHE LOVES TO LAUGH OUT LOUD AND IS FOREVERING LAUGHING AT HER BROTHER. SHE WON'T LAY DOWN IF SHE CAN GRAB ON TO YOU AND STAND OR SIT UP SHE WILL IN HEART BEAT. MY AUNT GAYLE SAYS SHE IS THE STRONGEST BABY SHE HAS EVER BEEN AROUND (AND SHE HAS BEEN AROUND SEVERAL). SHE IS ROLLING OVER AND OVER AND LOVES TO EAT OATMEAL (YES SHE IS A CHUNKER AND ALREADY LOVES OATMEAL). SHE IS A HAPPY GIRL AND NEVER EVER CRYS UNLESS SHE IS HUNGRY OR REAL TIRED. LOVE LOVE THIS AWESOME LITTLE GIRL!


POOR PEYTON ALSO HAD HIS TWO YEAR ALLERGY CHECKUP AND SHOTS YESTERDAY. HE WAS SUCH A TROOPER IS GOT STUCK OVER 20 TIMES BETWEEN HIS ALLERGY TEST, BLOOD BEING DRAWN, AND SHOTS. HE IS GROWING THO' HE WIEGHED ALMOST 28 LBS. AND WAS 35 AND A HALF INCHES TALL! YEAH MAYBE WE WILL HAVE A SIX FOOTER..lol. HE IS REALLY GROWING WITH PERSONALITY TOO HE NOW CAN AND WILL REPEAT ANYTHING!! (NOT ALWAYS A GOOD THING) AND IS BEGINNING TO TALK IN SENTENCES DON'T GET ME WRONG THERE IS STILL A LOT WE DON'T UNDERSTAND BUT WITH HIS HEARING AND SPEECH ISSUES WE WEREN'T SURE HOW SOON HE WOULD TALK CLEARLY :) SO THIS IS A BIG BLESSING! A QUICK FUNNY STORY: HE WAS FINALLY RELEASED TO DRINK REAL MILK (HE IS NOW JUST ALLERGIC TO EGGS AND PEANUTS) SO LAST NIGHT I GAVE HIM A GLASS HE TOOK A BIG SWIG EXPECTING HIS SWEET VANILLA SOY MILK AND HE LOOKED AT ME REAL WIERD AND SAYS "YUCK MAMMA YUCK" THEN RUNS TO THE KITCHEN AND SAYS "MY MILK MAMMA MY MILK" SO I GUESS IT'S SOY MILK FOR A LITTLE LONGER..LOL.
POTTY TRAINING IS A BLAST ALSO I WILL HAVE MORE OF THOSE STORIES TO COME BUT WE RUN TO THE BATHROOM HIM SCREAMING "HURRY HURRY" AT LEAST 20 TIMES A DAY TO SIT ON THE POTTY FOR NOTHING TO HAPPEN..LOL... BUT WHEN IT DOES WE PARTY AND DANCE LIKE CRAZY!!!
