Happy Birthday Payton Owen

Payton Owen Fallis turned 1 years old on Friday, November 10th. I can't believe my little boy is ONE! It is so much fun. We had a party at our house for him and lots of people came to celebrate with us! He got so much stuff for his birthday. I am just trying to think how I can arrange all the toys he got to where they don't look scattered everywhere!!! I don't have any pictures just video. I will post some of him of him this time last year and it is amazing how much he has changed.

Getting Ready!!

So last night Jeremy and I are sitting in the recliners and Payton is playing and he decided to take three steps!! He has taken one here and there, but then again this moring he took two more. Payton will be 1 years old on Friday and I really hope he is walking by his party on Saturday!! I guess we all better get ready for Payton to take off! The fun is just beginning!!! Here is a picture my friend took of him yesterday!! Isn't he precious?!!

Halloween Pictures!

For Payton's first Halloween he was a Ninja! That was daddy's idea. I wanted Payton to be a lion cub, but I got over ruled! That's okay because Payton was still cute as ever!! We took Payton to the zoo to trick or treat. We went on Monday night and it was packed, but lots of fun. We will for sure take him again next year. Here are a few pictures.

Gone all Night

Jeremy asked me yesterday if I cared if he took Payton to Ada with him all night. I kind of just sat there, like you really want to take our baby all night?? Well after about a hour of thinking about I agreed to let him go down. I know that Payton needs to spend some time with his grammie and mimi. I just miss him and didn't want him gone all night. This is the first time. He is with his Daddy which makes it easier. It was kind of a good thing that the boys went last night because Payton had a stomach bug on Sunday night into Monday morning and I started to not feel real well at lunch yesterday. I winded up getting a touch of it in the evening, so it was kind of nice to not have to worry about taking care of Payton. I got to just be lazy for once. I have not had one of those days in a long time!!! I called Jeremy this morning around 8:30 am and he sounded like he was still sleeping. That is not normal when you have a 11 1/2 old. Well I guess Jeremy winded up getting the bug around 10pm last night. It comes quick and leaves quick which is good, but it is no fun feeling sick to your stomach. So everyone be careful cause it is gonig around like crazy! I lysoled my whole house and brought it to work with me!! I called this afternoon and Payton is hanging out with his Grammie and running around in Ada!! Jeremy said that Payton is having a blast cause Grammie is letting him do whatever he wants!! Grandparents are the best!!

Payton got a haircut

We decided to get Payton's haircut last Friday! Jeremy says he looks like the 70's baby! Personally I liked it shaggy! Oh well he looks cute with his big boy haircut! We also took Payton to the fair twice. He got to see the "The Incredibles" on ice! That was really fun and he did well until about the last 15 minutes of it and he was ready to go! Plus it was getting close to his bed time. Sorry so short he is wanting his mommy! He is also saying mama and starting to say dada! here are a few pictures.

Time Goes by Too Fast!

I am sitting here at work thinking today Payton is 9 Months old! Jeremy and I's 2nd Anniversary is on the 28th of this month. We have been together for a total of 6 years. Where in the world has this time went. I can't believe it has went by this fast. It feels like just yesterday Jeremy and I got married and now we have a beautiful baby boy together. Our lil guy will be a year old in no time. That means we have to start planning his first birthday. OH Geez! It is exciting, but at the same time kind of sad to know he is growing so fast. I guess you could say I wouldn't be upset if he stayed a baby forever, but we all know that is not how it works. Jeremy loves the idea of him getting older and little easier. I think most men do though. I know I have so much to look forward to as he gets older. Already I see how much he has grown an I enjoy every second of it. He is just such a happy baby and so fun to be around. I feel so blessed to have such a healthy baby boy, a wonderful husband, and a awesome family including my extended family.

Pictures!

So I finally got a cord to download all of the pictures I have taken of Payton. Here are some of my favorites. Some are when he was about 3 months and the rest are recent ones. Enjoy!!

Random!!!

I had a great weekend. Friday Payton went over to his Aunt Renee's house and she wathed him for us and his grammie came up also. He got to spend some much needed time with his aunt, grammie, and little Isabelle. We ordered Ted's to go and ate dinner with Jeremy's mom. Saturday was my b-day and Jeremy took me to eat at Olive Garden. I don't know what I enjoyed more the meal or watching Payton's little show he put on for everyone. He was sitting at the table and he would beat his rattle on it and smile from ear to ear the whole time he was doing it and then he would let out a loud screach excitement. At one point Jeremy actually took the rattle and hid it in his diaper bag, but there was no fooling Payton. He would look around the table and then look at his daddy like why did you take my rattle away. I finally gave it back to him cause he was having so much fun. Too Cute!!! We went to Target after wards to get stuff to start baby proofing and then just hung out the rest of the day. Well I better run I have to take Payton to his 6 week check ups today. He is getting his tube taken out of his eye today. I am not looking foward to that at all.

Payton is 8 Months

Oh my gosh I can't believe I am actually saying Payton is 8 months old today. Man where does that time go? It has been so fun these last few months watching Payton learn and do more things. He has 4 teeth now. His top ones finished cutting threw this weekend. Payton is trying to crawl. It is so cute to watch him cause he will stick his butt straight up and then he will start rocking. He will army crawl to get where he needs to be. He LOVES animals. Last night he was sitting on the floor in the kitchen so I could put up some groceries and he is making all of these noises and we have a silver metal trash can and he was staring at himself and just laughing and he would lean into it and then lean back and laugh. Gotta love him. Our baby boy is growing so fast. Hopefully I will have some cute pic's of him soon. I need to get a cord for my camera at home so I can download them. I have tons of cute pic's on there just can't get them off!!

Father's Day!

I hope everyone had a good Father's Day! I think Jeremy enjoyed his First one. Yesterday morning Jeremy wanted to go to Crackle Barrel for breakfast so of course Payton and I took daddy to eat!!!! It was nice cause we actually didn't have to wait 45 min. Payton was a hoot at the table always. He is getting his two top teeth in I think so he has been a little more demanding then usual, but what can ya do? We went ran to Walmart after breakfast and Jeremy got a water gun so that he can play with the little boy Steve across the street. It is pretty funny to watch Jeremy and a little 5-year old battle it out with water guns. Then that afternoon we went to Choctaw to Jeremy's dad for Father's Day. It was nice. We got to see Renee and Isabelle and we have not seen then in a while. Isabelle finally gave Payton a kiss when we were leaving and told him she loved him! It was sweet. Renee made spaghetti pie which was yummy and Jeremy and I brought a apple crumb cake and ice cream. I was going to make something, but I really think Jeremy just wanted the apple crumb cake instead!! I will say it is really good and we don't eat a lot of sweets anymore. Over all Father's Day was a nice day.

Favorite Picture of Payton

This is my favorite picture of Payton that we had taken for his 6 months. I think he just looks so adorable and really showing his personality. This is how Payton is pretty much all of the time. He is such a happy boy! Payton is discovering that he can start to wine to try to get his way. It is really cute! I actually tease him when he does it because I know there is absoulty nothing wrong with him. He always wants his mommy! I love it. I am so attached to this little guy! He is our pride and joy!!!

Payton's Surgery

We took Payton to the hospital at 6 am yesterday and he went into surgery at 7:30 and I was so worried about him getting the anastetic, but he did GREAT!! Payton was showing off in the waiting room before he went back and even found him a little girl friend. She was getting her tubes taken out of her ears. I guess they didn't fall out on their own so she needed a little help. He got into recovery about 9:15 and was a little fussy when he got back there, but once the IV came out and he got a bottle and some pain medicine he was back to Payton! We got him in the car and he fell right asleep. He slept from 10am till 4:45pm. When Payton got up we played with him and took him for a walk and then he was back to sleep at 7:30pm till 7:00am. He is back asleep now so I figured I would give you a update on him. Thanks for the prayers!!

Catch Up!

Here is my little cutie pie! These are Payton's 6 months pictures. I wanted to share those first. He did so good on these pictures.

Anyways, we have been pretty busy and a little stressed out. Payton is going to get surgery Thursday. We have to have him at the hospital at 5:30am and they will start surgery at 7:30am. His left testicle got stuck when trying to decend so he needs a little help getting it to come down. If it doesn't get fixed it can cause fertility problems when he is a adult and some times can cause tumors if not corrected. So yes we are fixing it and then he has to get a silicone tube stuck down in his left tear duct because it is clogged up and makes his eye have a yellow discharge and gets really goopy and it looks terrible. I am so so nervous about getting the surgery done, but I know it is something that has to be done. I don't like the fact my baby is getting put to sleep.

So, I hope everyone had a good memorial day weekend! Jeremy and I did. We took Payton to spend some time with his gramie while we went to the river and rode 4 wheelers. I got way too much sun. We got Jeremy a new truck. It is a 2006 Nissan Frontier. It is more practical then what he has. We are selling his other two trucks that he has. He can actually go pick up Payton now!!!

This weekend we didn't do much. Jeremy worked both days and I had my cousin kaylee over for the weekend. Kaylee and I took Payton to the park saturday night and sunday morning and he loved the swings. Kaylee took him down the slide and he really didn't know what to think at first. I think he got scared, but he didn't cry. Then I took Kaylee home and Jeremy's dad and little sister came over to visit and we had pizza and then everyone called it a night. I was not ready to start a new week cause I am not looking foward to the end of the week

Keep Payton in your prayers!

My Weekend!

I hope all you mom's had a great mother's day. Payton and I had a great weekend together. Jeremy went to Ada Friday night to finish his mom's floors so it was me and Payton all weekend. Friday we went to Caleb's baseball game and then he went home to sleep and after my mom got home I went shopping at Kohl's with Kim, Kaylee and Kaylee's friend Emery. I got some new sunglasses, my mom a necklace, me some earrings, a pair of gaucho's and a tank top. Then we went back to Kim's house and I stayed and hung out for a bit. Saturday Payton played and slept and I cleaned and did some laundry and spent some time outside. Payton loves it outside. Then Payton and I decided to go grocery shopping to get out of the house a little. After he went to bed my mom and I decided to watch the movie "The Family Stone" It is a cute movie. Sunday was a great day and very busy. I spent Mother's Day with My mom, Aunt Carole and Uncle Fred, Kim, Kaylee, Ryan, and Payton. That morning my mom, Payton and myself got ready and went to Walmart and then to my Aunt's house. My uncle treated all of us to Olive Garden for Mother's Day! After Olive Garden we had some time to kill before Ryan's baseball tournament in Edmond started so we went to Edmond and went shopping at the Super Target. I got another pair of sunglasses and I got Payton some shoes and another baseball hat. He looks so cute in his hats. Jeremy called me to tell me that Payton called him at 6am to tell him what to go get me. Payton got me two shirts. Payton also told Daddy not to get a card because I already know how Payton feels about me. I was laughing the whole time Jeremy was doing this. He is crazy! I just love my two boys! I had a great weekend and a wonderful First Mother's Day!

Payton is 6 Months Today!

Today our little Payton is 6 months old. Wow! I can't believe it. He weighs 20lbs. 14oz. He is 26 inches long. He got two shots today and did so good. He only cried for a minute and then acted like nothing happened. He does have to go see two specialist. One for his eye. I think he has a blocked tear duct and then he has to go see a urologist. His left testie is hiding! They want to make sure they can get it to descend and if not he may have to get surgery. Nothing major. At least lets hope not. If it is not corrected it could cause fertility problems when he is a adult.

I have had such a crazy past month and a half. Way too much going on. I have lost my brain somewhere. Payton Dr.'s apt wasn't till tomorrow morning, but they went ahead and see us today. As soon as everything looks like it is getting back to normal something else happens. Just a little brief on what has happened in a month and a half. My dad got very very sick and put in the hospital due to his emphysema and had to get on oxygen. I guess he almost went into cardiac arrest. He got put on oxygen for a little bit and he is doing better now. He is smoke free. Then we lost Mattie Anne. We started worrying about Payton doing this shaking thing and took him to the Dr. for that. He is okay it is just a development thing and he has to take albuterol sometimes and that causes you to shake some. Then I have been busy trying to get my best friends bachlorette party and lingerie shower together only for her party to become a diaster. Then we lost Harley last night and was told today our son may need surgery. What a month. I hope it gets better from here. I usually can handle stress, but I don't know if I can't handle anymore. We have had a few other things come up. It will get better. Well I guess I better get some work done.

In Memory of Harley Dog!!

We lost another part of the family last night. Haley was a Sheep dog / Chow mix. He was huge. He was 12 years old and getting pretty sick. We noticed that saturday morning he wasn't eating as well. Usually you fill up his bowl and he eats it all as soon as you give it to him. Sunday he had what looked like a lot of sleep in his eye and getting pretty laze. Because Harley was such a big dog he had arthritis in his back legs real bad, so Jeremy and I tried everything to get the dog to take some medicine and it wouldn't work so right then we knew something was really wrong and so I called the vet yesterday and took him in. He was so weak that he wouldn't even lift his head up. Harley was suffering from kidney failure and some infections. The doc told us we could treat him, but it would very costly and being that we were dealing with a very large breed dog and he was old that his survival rate was under 25%. Jeremy and I went ahead and decided to put him to sleep so that he didn't have to suffer anymore. It just hit him so sudden. Just last week he was fine and we took him for a small walk down our street. He can't walk much, but he needed to get out of the backyard for a few minutes. I got Harley from my cousin Kim when she found out she was pregnant with her daughter Kaylee . Harley was 6-9 months old when I got him and just a little fur ball. Kim and Scott couldn't keep him in a apartment so I asked my parents for him. Harley had a wonderful life and I will really miss him. I told him to go take care of my mattie girl. I don't have any pictures of Harley with me so I will look for some and post them later.

In Memory of Mattie Anne

Mattie Anne was Jeremy and I's black cocker spaniel that was so full of life. Last night she was hit by a car and she didn't make it. Mattie was the sweetest and most loveable little dog. She was a christmas present from Jeremy's mom about 3 years ago. She was the first pedigree dog I ever had. She was truly one of a kind. Any time someone came to see us Mattie always thought they were there to see her. She would kiss all over them and just talk and pee everywhere, that was just Mattie. We are are missing her so bad. I have had many animals in the past and that I have lost and nothing compares to the loss of our Mattie. Mattie would of been 4 years old in November. She was part of our family. I was really hoping she would grow old with Payton and that would be his dog. Mattie Anne was spoiled rotten and so loved and she knew it. She would get so happy when Jeremy would get home from work and she would here his truck and just start wining to go outside and pee for him. Mattie loved her Jeremy and Jeremy LOVED his Mattie. We are truly going to miss her. She was great with kids and would let them do anything to her. I would love when Mattie would get jealous if Jeremy and I showed any affection to one another. Mattie wanted him all to herself. She had to be right there and in the middle. She would always wind up on my pillow in the middle of the night. That little girl was just like a human being and I will miss her like one. It amazes me how a little animal can mean so much to you and how bad it hurts when something happens to them. She was a beautiful dog with a beautiful personality. May our Mattie Anne (bratty matty, or mat mat) Rest in Peace. We love you Mattie.

Rolling Over

Well Payton finally decided he wanted to start rolling over Friday and now that is all he wants to do. He rolls over from his back to stomach and just sits there and then gets mad cause he doesn't know what to do next. I guess he forgot how to roll back over? Silly boy! I had a hard time getting him to sleep last night cause he was out past his bedtime and a little over tired. I would lay him down and he would roll to his side and try to find his thumb and then just get mad and roll over on his belly and finally he got so upset that he was screaming and then after a few minutes of calming him down he just started smiling at me like it was funny! Which I did start laughing! Llittle terd! Payton is so easy to get to go to sleep and really doesn't get that upset, but boy he did that time. I finally got him to sleep on his back and woke up this morning to find him on his belly. He is such a hoot! Payton does something everyday to make me laugh! I love our little boy!

Temptation

So, I am on the south beach diet and have been on it since last Tuesday so a total of 6 days and I come into work this morning and there is a big Italian Cream Cake in the kitchen which just so happens to be one of my favorite cakes. Oh gosh it is so hard to not go in there and have a piece. I just keep telling myself I have made it all day so don't give in now. I love sweets. Heck I love food. I did weigh myself yesterday morning and I have lost 5lbs so far. YEA!!! That is a start. I really do like this diet. Jeremy has been grilling stuff like crazy for me. I love grilled vegetables so needless to say I have been eating a ton of them. I hope that next weekend with a birthday party and Easter I don't give in and eat something I shouldn't. Anyways, it is almost time to go get Payton from my Aunt's house and then Jeremy and I are going to take him to the park and go for a walk. I just wanted to share my temptation experience with you!! Have a good evening.

Payton's First Baseball Game!

Payton and I went to our little cousin Ryan's Baseball Game on Sunday afternoon while Jeremy went fishing. Payton had a good time at the game. He was just watching the boys play ball and loved to be outside. He would get so scared when someone was standing behind us and they would scream and he would just jump and then start to cry, but then he got used to it and just went to sleep. Payton looked so cute wearing his baseball hat. I can't wait till I am going to games that Payton is playing. Ryan's team won first place in their tournament. Go Mustang Bulldogs! Here is a cute picture of Payton at his first Baseball Game!!

So Far, So Good!

Well so far I am really liking my South Beach Diet. I did it all day yesterday and asked myself "why did you wait so long to start". I feel like this is one diet I can do specially when I see the results. I went shopping with Mackenzie at Old Navy for lunch today and seen so many cute things that I can't wait to buy when this weight comes off. I guess I am finally ready. Even though it took me almost 5 months to really work at it.

Random Stuff

Well I hope everyone had a great weekend. I sure did. Friday night Jeremy went to Ada to help his mom with her house and then to see some friends. So Friday I picked up my little cousin Kaylee. Saturday we got ready, took Payton to my Aunt's and then to Mackenzie's (my best friend) wedding shower. After the shower I took Kaylee to eat at Olive Garden (our favorite) after that we went to pick up Payton and we stayed there for a while and visited with my aunt and Kaylee decided to dance around in front of Payton and he got the biggest kick out of it. He giggled for the first time!! It was so funny! So of course Kaylee wore herself out making Payton laugh at her. It is so funny what you will do to get babies to laugh at you. After we got home we decided to go to Wal-Mart to get stuff to make the Strawberry Cake from Scratch (from Suzanne's blog) Oh wow was that a good cake. I will definitely make that cake again. Jeremy loved it. I also made that icing and that was so good with the fresh strawberries. Kaylee ate a ton of it. Good thing I bought extra strawberries! I also made a chocolate cake w/ cream cheese icing for work. We have a bunch of birthdays in April so another girl and myself decided to bring cake. This time it was from a box!!

On another note. I have to go home tonight and try to get my internet to work on my new laptop. I don't have good luck when it comes to computers. I will give it one more shot and if I can't get it then they are going to have to come out and do it for me.

I have made my decision this afternoon. I am starting the South Beach Diet no matter what tomorrow morning. I don't care how sick of Chicken I get. I am doing it. I know that I can lose weight pretty fast off of that diet if I stick to it. My boss lost 70lbs in 7-8 months. If melted off of him and I have some extra weight on me. I don't think I will be where I want to be this summer as far as wearing a bathing suit but, I would love to next year cause Payton will be older and do so much more. I also love tank tops and capris. You will see me in capris, but won't catch me in a tank top, not this summer.

A little update about Payton. He went to the Dr. Last Tuesday cause he was having some wheezing and really bad cough and he weighed 18lbs and 14oz. I couldn't believe it he gained 1lb and 2oz in 2 weeks. He is trying so hard to roll over from his back to stomach, but just can't quit get there. He did roll over from his stomach to back 3 times. So that is some progress. Well I think I have babbled long enough. I better get some more work done before it is time to go home.

Rain!

Yea, we finally got some rain! I am usually not the type to love rainy weather, but this time I am loveing it. This weekend was so relaxing. I did laundry and cleaned the house and baked some brownies for Jeremy and we just hung out in our sweats and played with Payton. We stayed at home all weekend, but I still got allot of stuff accomplished. This was one weekend where I didn't mind staying in the whole time. Usually by 3 in the afternoon I am begging Jeremy for us to go somewhere. I am sitting at work right now and it is thundering and the rain is just coming down. I am sure I will get sick of the rain soon and be ready for some pretty weather so we can take payton outside and go for some walks. I hope everyone enjoyed this rain as much as I did. We sure did need it.

Payton's St. Patty's Pic's

I love my Aunt Kimmie! She makes me laugh!



They crack me up cause they are nuts!


Payton and his cousin Kaylee!



I am worn out!!! Time for my nap!!!


Oh isn't he just precious? I love this little guy so much! Well those are some of his St. Patricks Day pictures. Hope you enjoyed them.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patty's Day to everyone!

I hope everyone is wearing their green today!! I am wearing some green flip flops from Old Navy that I got yesterday. I bought Payton a really cute St. Patty's Day shirt at Babies R' Us a few weeks ago that says, "I'll be your lucky charm". He looks so cute!! My cousin Kim is watching him today so I will have her take a picture of him and then I will post it later this afternoon. Have a great weekend.

Payton is 4 Months Old

Payton turned 4 months old Friday. He had to go the Dr. to get his shots and he didn't react to them as well as he did on his first set of shots. He actually ran a small fever Saturday and was throwing up some yesterday, buy you would of never known anything was bothering him. He was just as happy as ever. He weighed 17lbs and 12oz. He is 25" long. BIG BOY!!!! He gets to eat Solids now!! I am so happy we can start feeding him at dinner and it is something besides a bottle. He actually took his cereal very well and we gave him some peas and he likes those too. I really don't think I am going to have much problem feeding this boy. I went and bought him some clothes for the summer and I had to get him 18 months cause he is wearing 12 months so nice right now and he is 4 months old..... YEA..... I know. Well I hope everyone had a great weekend I know we did.

Saturday and Kid Rock

Saturday was such a great day. That morning Jeremy got up and took my car to get the windows tinted for me and then when he got home we took Payton to my Aunts so we could go do some shopping! I bought some really cute stuff at Kohls. That night Jeremy and I went to the Kid Rock concert with Kim and Shane. They bought Jeremy two tickets for his birthday cause they know he really likes Kid Rock. I will have to admit I was not that big on Kid Rock, but after his concert I like him allot more. He put on such a good show. I will go back next time he is here. You can tell I am a new mom cause I was dragging by the time the concert was over. My bed time is not 1:00am anymore. It is more like 9:00. It was nice to get out of the house and go enjoy ourselves and not worry about time we have to be home.

Hate clothes shopping

The beautiful weather is making me want to go buy some new clothes for summer so today I was going to go get a few outfits but, talked myself out of it. It is so depressing to look in my closet and see all the cute clothes I have to only know that I can't fit into them. I had Payton 4 months ago and have only lost a little bit of weight. I did gain more then I was suppose to but, still...I guess I was hoping I would just bounce right back. Wishful thinking. I need more clothes to wear cause I am sick of wearing what I have but, I am just terrified to go get more clothes. I want to look cute (at least as much as I can) for the spring and summer. I just don't want to go waste money on "bigger" clothes. I am sure everyone women that has children says the same thing and my best friend keeps telling me to be patient. Well I have been about as patient as I can. I eat less then I did before I was pregnant so you would think it would fall right off. UMMM, NOPE not for me it won't. Oh well I guess I should just say screw it and go buy new clothes anyways. Maybe if I have some cuter outfits it will help me feel a little better about myself. I know I will get back to my size cause there is NO WAY I could stay like this forever but, I just wish it would hurry up!!!!!

Ear infections

So just when we thought Payton was getting better he was really getting worse. Sunday night he was coughing a lot cause all of his congestion was breaking up. He was drinking a little water and started to cough and here comes EVERYTHING. It was even coming out of his nose. So I yelled for Jeremy to come inside and we got everything cleaned up and was just hoping it was a one time thing. Well no, he got up Monday morning and started to eat and got half way through and he went to cough a little and here it comes back up again. I am thinking okay maybe he is getting sick cause he is coughing so hard. So I continue to get ready for work. I go in there to change his diaper before I leave and just turned my back and I just here something and look over at him and he had thrown up again and bless his little heart it went up and right back down all over him. He started to scream cause he didn't know what just happened. I thinking oh great he is getting a small virus or something cause he didn't cough this time so I called work and told them I was taking him to the pediatrician. I get him the the Dr. And come to find out he has two ear infections. We get him home and he starts running a fever and he just got worse from there. Tuesday it was really bad. His fever was 102.8 and I couldn't get it to go away. Finally at 10:00 last night it finally broke. On top of that he has some diarrhea from the antibiotic. Poor little guy was really sick. This morning he was getting back to the happy baby he always is. I don't like my baby being sick. It is emotionally draining. I am sure I will get better with time but, right now I pretty much get scared about everything abnormal. Lets just hope this nasty little ear infection stay away for awhile.

Payton is sick

It has been awhile since I posted something new. We really have not had anything too exciting going on. Sunday morning Payton woke up and he started to cough and it just sounded horrible of course being a new mom and all my first reaction is to freak out. We had plans to go over to my cousin's house and watch the daytona 500 and have dinner so we left and Kim and I went to pick up Kaylee and then to CVS to see if there is anything over the counter he could take till I got him in to the Dr. on Monday. He is too young and the only thing I could do was vick's baby vapor rub and lots of water. I was thinking GREAT how and I am going to get this baby to drink lots of water. He don't like it. Well I warmed it up like his bottle and he drank away. YES, he is taking the water well that only lasted a day and he was back to his bitter face as if I gave him something terrible!! He went to the Dr. on Monday and got a decongestant and the good news is that it was not in his lungs. Thank goodness. My Payton is weighing in at 17 lbs and 3 oz. Now that is a big boy. He is only 3 1/2 months old. His daddy was a big baby so that is no surprise there. He is still sounding pretty bad but, still a happy baby and smiling away. He has found his thumb and I will say he is going to be a thumb sucker. I was one when I was little so he comes by it honestly. Well I hope everyone has had a good weekend.

This Weekend

Okay so I know I always talk about the weekends but, during the week it is pretty boring. Friday Jeremy's dad came over and we took him to eat at Harry's American Sports Grill and went back to our house where he could spend some time with Payton. My Best Friend Kenzi is getting married this spring so she asked me to go look at dresses with her on Saturday. I love looking at wedding dresses. It also gives me the insentive to hurry and lose my baby weight so I can get back into my wedding dress!!! I took Payton to my cousin Kim's and Kenzi took J.T. to her grandma's and we went shopping. Mackenzie did not have a good experience looking for gowns. I felt bad for her. We were out for about 4 hours looking at bridal places and she got to try on one dress. The people were just rude. I don't remember it being that hard when I was dress shopping. So after that mess we went to get J.T. and then to go get Payton. Sunday we went and seen our friends Bryan and Amy for awhile and then to Kim and Shanes for the Super Bowl. Payton slept almost the whole time with his cousin Kaylee. I couldn't believe he slept thourgh all yelling and screaming. I have pictures but, of course have not downloaded them yet. I hope everyone had a great weekend.

Jan 27-29

Friday Kim picked up Payton at her moms at 2:00 and called me and told me that Jeremy and I should go on a date so she could watch Payton for a little while. Shane was at work and the kiddo's were gone for the weekend. So Jeremy and I went to eat at Alfredos (mexican food my favorite) and then to walmart to get a few gifts. We went back to Kim's house and me and her hung our for a while and played on the computer and printed off some pictures of Payton. Then Payton and I went home so he could go night night. Saturday was busy. We got up at 5:00am with Payton and decided to go ahead and get ready to go to Ada. We left the house around 7:00am and went and ate Jimmy's egg (Jeremy's favorite) Then off we went ot Ada. Payton slept the whole time. We went to see Payton's Grammie (Jeremy's mom). We all went to Polo's for lunch (great mexican food) and then back to her house to visit a little while longer before we had to go a birthday party. Our friends Zeb and Carrie's little boy Leo turned 1 Years old. We had fun watching him eat his cake. Boy did he get messy. I have pictures but, they are not downloaded yet. I will post those as soon as I get them downloaded. We stayed there till about 6:30 and then we went to see out other friends Steven and Tiffany's new baby boy Caden. He was born 1/5/06. He looks like his mommy! We didn't get home till 10:30 but, we had allot of fun. Sunday we went to see Mackenzie, Red and J.T. We stayed there for a little while and then went back home so I could cook dinner and do some laundry. I then gave Payton a bath which he just loved and then we all called it a night.

My Weekend

This weekend was busy but, relaxing at the same time. Saturday Jeremy got up with Payton to let me get a extra hour of sleep and cooked breakfast (what a sweet husband he is!) and then around noon my friend Mackenzie came over with her little boy J.T. who is 15 months old and just adorable!!!! We then went to Walmart to get some groceries and of course J.T. had us amused the whole time and then back to my house where we got out Payton's toys that he can't play with yet and let J.T. play with them and he had a great time! Then about 6:00 we went to My cousin Kim's house so that her and I could work out and Shane and Jeremy could play XBOX360. Sunday I let Jeremy sleep in and I cooked some breakfast and then my little cousin Kaylee came over to spend the day with us. She didn't want to go to Arena Cross with her brothers so she decided to come over and play with Payton and play Playstation 2 with Jeremy. While they played games I shampooed the carpets for my mom and did some cleaning and cooking. The night ended with Payton getting a bath and me calling it a day! I had a great time this weekend. Here are a few cute pictures of Payton!

Payton's 2 months check up!

Friday afternoon I had to take Payton to the Dr. to get his shots and two months check up. He is 14lbs. 3 oz. and 22 1/2 inches long. Payton did really good when he got his shots he cried for just a minute and by the time the nurse put his bandaides on he was done crying and just looking at me with his big eyes. I was so happy to get that part over with. I did not want him to get poked with the needle cause I know how much I hate it and the fact that poor little guy didn't even know what was going on was hard. I am just glad Jeremy and I have a very healthy little boy!

Payton is 2 months today

Payton is 2 months old today!!! I can't believe how fast it has gone by before I know it he will be a year old. I am not in a hurry for him to grow up. Jeremy is ready for him to start walking and talking. I think men like that stage a little more. They are not as fragile.

Jeremy and I on our wedding day!

This morning Jeremy got up with Payton to feed him at 5:00am. Jeremy didn't have to be at work until 8:00am and he decided to get up with him and let me sleep a little which I thought was really sweet of him. Jeremy looks so cute taking care of a little baby. I just smile when I see him with our son. I couldn't of picked a better man to marry and I love and appreciate him very much. I have been asking him to build me some shelves for Payton's room for awhile now and I called him on my way home from work yesterday and he told me he had a small surprise for me when I got home. He built the shelves and had then hung when I got home. I got to put all of Payton's stuffed animals up last night. His room looks so cute! I love the little things that Jeremy does for me most of all.

Back to Work

Today was my first day back to work after having the baby. I didn't want to leave my sweet little angel. I think the only reason I could come to work was because I know he is not going to daycare. My aunt carol is watching him on mondays, thrusdays, and fridays and my mom will watch him on tuesdays and wednesdays. So Jeremy and I are so lucky to have family watching him for us. I came in this morning and started putting his pictures all over my computer. My favorite is him smiling in his little santa suit. Well it is about time for me to go home and see Payton!!!!!!
