Payton/Finley Comparrison

Payton

Finley

Spring

Here are some spring updates:

Finley can sit up on her own...she is still a little wobbly but it is getting better!!!

Payton at the park.

Finley's first day at the Lake:

I am so glad I captured Payton at this moment. This is what she does to Finley 24/7. She loves her so much she can't keep her hands off of her.

Getting ready for Finley's first boat ride.

Payton at Granny's lake house.

Finley's sweet head could barely move with her life vest. She did great on her first boat ride.

She even giggled when we would hit waves.

Daddy took this picture when he was watching the girls while I was at work.

It looks like they are pretty content watching some TV :).

I guess I have been busy....

You don't realize how fast time goes until you look at your blog....uh oh!!! Well here is an update. I started back at work working two afternoons a week. Greg makes fun of me all of the time for how little I work, but it is the perfect mixture of being a mommy and still keeping up with things at work. We have found a sweet Baylor student named Mallory to watch the girls while I am gone. So far it has worked out great. Payton is becoming such a big girl. She is in dance once a week and does a mothers day out (we call it school) once a week as well. Her first dance recital is in June and she will be a glittery tiger :). Finley is just about 4 1/2 months now, and is still sweet as can be. She is sleeping great at night 10 hours plus sometimes, which makes me one happy mommy. We will be going for her 4 month check-up this week. Here are some pictures of Christmas and a few from the new year. Thank you to all my loyal readers who stick with me when I am slow to post!!!!

The girls dedication at Church.

I totally forgot we needed to bake cookies for Santa...thank goodnes I bought those frozen cookies from a school fundraiser!!!

Payton got a trampoline from Santa...and yes it is in our dining room :)

The first time they used the swings together.

This picture sums up my Papes lately. She has some energy for all of us.

Sweet girls...Payton has some crazy wispy curls right now!!!

Until next time ;)

All done!!!

Finley has arrived....

Finley Claire is here.... We are now a family of 4!!! She was born September 27,2011 weighing 7 lbs 3 oz and 20 inches long. I was a little nervous being awake for this c-section but the anaesthesiologist was excellent!! Greg and I talked the whole time, to each other, the Doctors, and Greg even got to see behind the curtain...yikes!!! We feel so blessed to have two sweet girls. Everything is going well...I am trying to find a new normal and Payton is loving being a big sister . Our house isn't clean anymore, laundry is backing up, toys are everywhere and I am trying to be OK with it all :) Who knew how much time you had with just one kiddo!?! Finley is a good baby, looks a whole lot like Payton as a baby (which means a whole lot like their Daddy :). We couldn't be more proud and happy!

Here is Greg with Payton....

and with Finley.... One proud Daddy!!!

Long update....

Since I haven't posted in months, I figured I will add a bunch of pictures to show what we have been doing. In case you didn't know....baby number 2 is a girl!! We are so excited for Payton to have a little sister. Greg is a little nervous about a house full of girls haha. Ok, let the pictures begin :)

Easter Egg hunt.....

Birthday Number 2!!!

Memorial Day Weekend...

It was too windy to go on the boat so we pulled Payton on the tube behind the golf cart...she loved it!!!

Dancing with Mimi :)

Helping mommy make a chocolate cake...yummy :)

Dia del Oso (day of the bear at Baylor)

This picture cracks me up, Boone wanted to sit where Keely was sitting so he got mad and didn't want to be in the picture. Too funny!!!
