Payton Is So BIG!

Payton seems to grow a lot at once. All of a sudden again she seems like such a big girl to me. Today was the first day she wore her big girl underwear all day long, we went out to the restaurant supply store, she had to go while we were there, luckily there was a bathroom that was actually clean, and she went. She went at the restaurant when we at lunch and did so well all day! No accidents and she told us every time!
While in the restaurant store I was naming off all the things I saw, high chairs, trays, bowls, cups and she says yeah and machines too...in the back were fryers, freezers and big appliances. She always amazes me with the words she uses. I wish I could tape her sometimes so I could remember everything she tells me.

This afternoon I was packing some things up and giving her things to carry to the kitchen to help me out. She carried 4 cans of mandarin oranges I told her to just put them on the table. I come out to put them away and can only find one can, she had put the others away herself, one under the sink, one in the cabinet next to the stove, and two in the big cabinet. We didn't find them all at once but throughout the night as we opened things up.

She helped Tung take all the clean dishes out of the dishwasher, she carried him a pile of plates and bowls that we thought for sure would be too heavy for her but she insisted upon helping. It's so cute how much she loves to help and how good of a job she does.

She makes me crazy with her 3 year old crazies, she still doesn't like to sit in the chair and constantly worries me about falling...is she going to be in Kindergarten and stand up at the lunch table?! haha. I love her more and more the bigger she gets, she's so amazing.

Snow, or lack thereof

Yesterday I stayed home with Payton and Reagan. We had a lot of fun, until the afternoon when Reagan got super bothered by her teeth and the fun was over for her, but in the morning big snowflakes came down. Now, as soon as they landed they were melted but still I put Payton in her snowpants and coat and we ran around in them as they fell anyway, it was a lot of fun and Payton tried to catch them on her tongue.

We colored, cooked in her kitchen and played CandyLand. I also exercised by carrying Reagan around literally all day since she was so fussy with her teeth she didn't want to be put down. But we had a great day.

Reagan

Reagan has a super cheesy smile that just cracks me up, I've been trying to catch her doing it with the camera and finally did!

Childrens Museum

Since we really can't play in our house all weekend because it would be too much to clean up before someone comes. Especially if they come at the last minute like yesterday calling at 5:00 to come by at 6:00..but anyway...we went to the Children's Museum.

Payton played in the bank, kitchen, grocery store, hospital, Payton got to pretend to be a weather girl and even got to paint and glue things. We had a lot of fun. Though Daddy deemed it more of a Mommy thing since he's not so big on huge crowds of people and screaming kids :)

Dentist

Payton went to her first dentist appointment yesterday. She got to watch Sesame Street on tv and got bubble gum toothpaste. Tung took her and said they showed her all the tools they were going to use before they cleaned her teeth. She let them count them all, 10 on top and 10 on the bottom and when she was done she got to pick a prize from the treasure chest. She chose clappy hands :)

Reagan went to her 6 month check up. She weighs 14 lbs. 12 oz. and is 26 inches long. Poor little girl had to get 5 shots, but she did good. We gave her sweet potatoes tonight for the first time and she loved them!
