Plus I made the cards on my own so why not share. You can scroll down to the bottom to get this printable and use it for your kids!<p>Simple, from the circle boutique (Target) and under 10$ plus the printing of the sheet which was a minimal cost. We did print these from slightly thicker paper so they don't fold in the bag but otherwise a super quick project. It took me less than twenty minutes to bag them all up and they're good to go!</p><p>Inside the bag is just a little notecard we cut out and those cute erasers we bought; 16 for $3. For the bags: $2 for 12. The best part is the erasers and gender neutral in colors so we don't have to sort them in any way. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZWFdwEbhNV8/YBiqb3je9XI/AAAAAAAAEp4/0oufSdC82AExk-DMKHprZzKbYfVjxGE3QCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_7007.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZWFdwEbhNV8/YBiqb3je9XI/AAAAAAAAEp4/0oufSdC82AExk-DMKHprZzKbYfVjxGE3QCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/IMG_7007.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0On6db1LQlg/YBiqbw_nkKI/AAAAAAAAEp0/C4T5Pl9X-k0ESVb2FC6bbAE9qJSPWPevQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_7008.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0On6db1LQlg/YBiqbw_nkKI/AAAAAAAAEp0/C4T5Pl9X-k0ESVb2FC6bbAE9qJSPWPevQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/IMG_7008.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z8kKvVKfv-k/YBiqb_SCI8I/AAAAAAAAEp8/TPAbvncIzMkRKgZMTN5syiJU5MhFFwk0ACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_7012.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z8kKvVKfv-k/YBiqb_SCI8I/AAAAAAAAEp8/TPAbvncIzMkRKgZMTN5syiJU5MhFFwk0ACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/IMG_7012.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-A6Dhnlt4gb4/YBiqcniEYdI/AAAAAAAAEqA/T-pa0S-6CEQd1hgG2CkANNqPuAf_MVgBACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/IMG_7013.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-A6Dhnlt4gb4/YBiqcniEYdI/AAAAAAAAEqA/T-pa0S-6CEQd1hgG2CkANNqPuAf_MVgBACLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/IMG_7013.jpg" /></a></div><p>Click the following link to download the Valentines so all you have to do is print and cut! </p><p style="text-align: center;">"<a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iIFB5KGKu0X8FfykHhrLohYWnhgPOqQ9/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">Our Friendship Can't Be Erased</a>"</p>Ccristinathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03229902046657872937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6305253373390719448.post-34045305801254089322018-03-01T08:01:00.000-05:002018-03-01T08:01:10.660-05:00Baby Number Three Nursery InspirationWith only one month left to go it's really time to get my butt into gear and get this room ready for the new baby. The last two weeks being sick really put a damper on timing and now I feel semi rushed to finish all the things like right now. Not wanting to spend tons of money on this new room, but also wanting to feel like I'm doing something special for each baby we've tried to use a lot of the same furniture we had previously. The biggest purchase really though has been a new crib since we can't quite kick Peyton out of his yet.<br />
<br />
I'm updating the monochromatic look of Peytons room and adding orange, pops of black and a little more of a woodsy theme. This means we don't have any huge projects and will make the transition just a little bit easier. The biggest statement piece of the whole room is some bright orange blackout curtains which will also be able to move around to any of the boys' rooms as they get older.<br />

<br />
In true last minute fashion and honestly not having time to head out and shop, I was able to get most of the pieces from Amazon, so win for me and for Amazon prime for being so amazing.<br />

<br />
Peyton's personality is really starting to show up right about now. This is really the time I start to enjoy so much more than those baby moments. He's really started to understand what we ask him to do and is getting so good at playing with Noah and also by himself. Life is good for this kid.<br />

<ul>
<li><b><b>Stats:</b> </b>Size 6 Diapers |
18mo -2T clothing</li>
<li><b>Size:</b> 26.8lbs <b><br /></b></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>New Abilities: </b>Well the last update I talked about how he could walk. That's so crazy to think that was just a little bit back. It seems like he's been walking forever since he can run and climb on the couch. He wrestles with Noah and is completely ok to go up and down the stairs on his own. Time sure does go quick. New this month would be the total ability to move anywhere on his own, but really the mental leaps he's had are the most impressive. He really understands so much more and is starting to communicate so much better. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Communication: </b>Peyton can really express his feelings well but also is super stubborn which is becoming quite obvious. If he doesn't get what he wants he really just throws a fit so we started doing calm down moments by putting him in the mudroom away from everyone for a couple minutes until he's ready to join the rest of the family and that's really seemed to at least change the behavior at that time. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Sleep:</b> His night time sleep has settled for now. Looks like we might be over those weird middle of the night wake ups. He's sleeping 7:30p-7/8a with an occasional early morning wake up. He's dropped his second nap - right around the end of the last update - so like 16ish months and is now taking a hefty nap at the same time as Noah. Really convenient actually. 12:30ish for 2-3 hours. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Mom Check-In</b>: After being sick for the last two weeks I feel like I'm finally getting back to normal. I've started to get a little more tired just doing regular everyday things but I will still say this pregnancy has been the easiest. I don't feel like I'm going to burst at any moment and although I'm ready for baby to be here, it's not because I'm miserable. </li>

I love looking back and reading old posts and reminiscing on all the fun we have as a family. It's been and up and down month so far and we still have a little over a week to go. The most notable and frustrating was Jeff and I both getting the flu at the same time. I don't think it should even be allowed for both parents to get sick at the same time. It's so miserable. We're both still battling the side-effects and although I'm glad the kids weren't the ones that were sick, part of me thinks it would have been easier for us to take care of them. I have absolutely no voice still and parenting and working without a voice seems to be more important that I may have previously thought. Jeff is still up and down every day and really we're all just trying to make it through.<br />
<br />
With the Olympics starting we have however had a lot of family time in front of the couch. Noah asking way too many questions but coming just at the right time with all the couch time we've needed for rest. Our house is filled with hand drawn flags of all our favorite countries and I'm pretty sure Noah knows more about the sports in the winter Olympics than I knew by the time I was twenty.<br />
<br />

<br />
Peyton, the little stinker continues to be his mischievous self getting into everything. Running away from parents, hitting Noah and wrestling like he's the same size and getting into the chocolate bowl even though I'm pretty sure he knows he's not supposed to.<br />
<br />
With only 43 days until baby number threes' due date we need to get our butt in gear around here. We still need to move Peyton to the guest room and get the nursery ready for our new baby boy. I would love it if we were all healthy and the house kind of caught up on. Laundry always seems to pile up so quick and I can never keep up with sweeping our floors. I'm guessing that's just what happens with kids but I'm determined to get it under control by the time baby gets here!<br />

<br />
Time flies when your having fun - or when your busy with life, right?<br />
<br />
We got right into the swing of things when we were done with Christmas break. We all went back to work and school. Jeff went to Florida for work for a couple of days. We do our usual routines and honestly not much super crazy stuff going on around here. Oh ya, did I mention I'm pregnant? Yep. That happened too. We're already 30 weeks along and cruising. Can you believe it? We'll be welcoming baby boy in April and I feel like I'm super ready and at the same time not at all. We can't quite kick Peyton out of his crib yet and I've literally bought just one zippy for the new baby and that's it. Third kid I suppose. But without Peyton out of the nursery I don't really feel like I've been able to set anything up for the next one quite yet so here we are... until we kick him to the other room.<br />

So what have we been doing with our time the last month? Well, playing a lot. Brothers playing together mostly which is super sweet to see. One minute they love each other, the other... well you know. Just crazy town. Peyton sure stands up for himself and Noah is trying to figure out this playing with my brother thing out. They sure do love each other though and we're excited to welcome one more boy soon to the pack. <br />

<ul>
<li><b><b>Stats:</b> </b>Size 5 Diapers |
18mo -2T clothing</li>
<li><b>Size:</b> 24lbs <b><br /></b></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>New Abilities: </b>Guys, He can walk! Finally! And all over the place I may add. He goes everywhere walking now and is super good at it. He falls here and there, especially in slippery areas but for the most part can do it all. He does up and down the stairs and climbs on the step stool in the kitchen. He moves and I love it! And the other big thing is he's getting really good with his fork and spoon handling and mostly eats with utensils because I'm pretty sure he hates having dirty hands. Guess that makes sense.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Communication: </b>This from last month is still pretty much the same <i>"He can say "mama" & "dada" and can do signs for "more" and "milk".
He can also shake his head for "no". He babbles a ton and is always
singing and making noises. He can point to whatever he needs and mostly
gets his message out. Personality wise, Peyton just does what he
wants. He's quite the stinker and thinks everything is funny, even when
he's being naughty. He gets into everything and wants to be where ever I
am. His most favorite things to do is be in the kitchen right up next
to the stove and watch and help cook. He likes to stir things in the
pan and is a pretty good helper. He's one loveable kid though. His
cuddles are amazing and will snuggle with you most of the day if he's
not in his exploring mood. He loooves his brother and can hold his own
with Noah. He even has started hitting him or pushing him out of the
way. *eye roll* He's one tough little guy." </i> </li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Sleep:</b> Sleeping 7:30p-7/7:30a at night. Two naps during the day still 1.5-2hrs, something one is a little shorter. We will be moving him up at daycare in the next month and they take only one nap. I don't like it since he only takes short little naps as it is and I do not need a grumpy kid. Maybe, for whatever reason, he will surprise us and start sleeping one long nap at school since he gets a blanket, a stuffed animal and a cot...? We can only hope. Until then, we're sticking with the two naps as long as we can. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Mom Check-In</b>: I'm doing great. Getting things done for Christmas and feeling great about it. It's nice to be in an easy routine. Working out regularly for the last year has done wonders for me and my attitude in general and I love having that scheduled time to get away and do something for myself. If you're in the Grand Rapids area <a href="http://renewmamastudio.com/" target="_blank">Renew Mama</a> is such an amazing place to work out and connect with other moms and I'm super grateful for them. </li>

Noah was a huge help and did the kids Christmas tree all by himself and I didn't really have to make any adjustments because he did such a good job. We got a couple new ornaments he helped pick out and he really liked that we added those on the tree too. I see a tradition happening.<br />
Since we got a way too big tree (oops) and had to cut the top off, we had to buy extra lights to fill up the whole tree. We headed to Target on none other than early morning on black Friday to pick some up and finished decorating the tree by the end of the day. Peyton was pretty useless but he sure was cute in his Christmas PJ's. We really thought he would be all about pulling things off the tree but surprisingly our little naughty boy has been pretty good so far. Well, minus my favorite pig ornament he keeps trying to take off and snuggle. I guess I can't blame him, that pig is pretty cute.<br />

At the end of the night after we put Peyton down for bed Noah and I stayed up and talked about all the things he wanted for Christmas and wrote our own Santa letter. He was really excited to give it to him when we saw him this week and told him all about his batman legos. We're prepped and ready to go for Christmas!<br />

We were hoping we would have the place to ourselves and we were right! I guess everyone is busy prepping for the holidays to come pick out a tree. We were one of the only ones there which made it so much more fun. Peyton patiently waited in the sled while the rest of the family walked around looking for the perfect tree. We found it, or so we thought, until we brought it home and realized it was about two feet too tall. Oops!<br />

We got on the ball early this year and took some family pictures. I waited until the last possible moment last year hoping it would snow and we could get some fun snowy white pictures and we just ended up freezing our butts off, sipping hot chocolate in the car every couple of minutes to warm up. The kids were actually really great through it all but I figured it would probably be better if we just skipped that hassle and got them done just a tad early. As usual, <a href="http://kellyjophotography.zenfolio.com/" target="_blank">Kelly</a> did an amazing job and although we had two kiddos who weren't all that into it we managed to get a couple good ones to use on our Christmas cards. Plus I got to wear a tulle skirt so all is well in the world.<br />

Seriously, I feel so bad this is the first update for Peyton in forever. I haven't even done a one year update. What happens to parents who have five or six kids? Do they forget things this bad too? Oh man... Honestly, the only reason I even checked was because we <i>think</i> that Peyton is transitioning to one nap and I wanted to check when Noah did that. Then I scrolled back to Peyton and... whoops. So here we go. Fifteen month update for Peyton and I promise at least with these I'll get better.<br />
<br />

<ul>
<li><b><b>Stats:</b> </b>Size 5 Diapers |
18mo clothing</li>
<li><b>Size:</b> 23.9lbs (67th%) - 30.5in (23rd%) My poor little shorty<b><br /></b></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>New Abilities: </b>His walking is getting better but nowhere near where Noah was at this point. He can get around a couple of feet at a time. Mostly best when he's barefoot and on carpet but he slips and falls a lot and trips over his feet and mostly just ends up crawling.. but at least he's trying right? He's getting there, just taking a little (lot) longer. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Communication: </b>He can say "mama" & "dada" and can do signs for "more" and "milk". He can also shake his head for "no". He babbles a ton and is always singing and making noises. He can point to whatever he needs and mostly gets his message out. Personality wise, Peyton just does what he wants. He's quite the stinker and thinks everything is funny, even when he's being naughty. He gets into everything and wants to be where ever I am. His most favorite things to do is be in the kitchen right up next to the stove and watch and help cook. He likes to stir things in the pan and is a pretty good helper. He's one loveable kid though. His cuddles are amazing and will snuggle with you most of the day if he's not in his exploring mood. He loooves his brother and can hold his own with Noah. He even has started hitting him or pushing him out of the way. *eye roll* He's one tough little guy. </li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Sleep:</b> His sleeping in probably not as consistent as it was with Noah but goes down great at 7:30pm and wakes up around 6:30-7:00am with no wake-ups at night. When he's a school he takes three short 40mins-1hr naps and when he's home he takes one really good nap and one shorter nap. One 2ish or more hours and the other 1.5-2. Recently though he's refused a second nap after a super long ( like three hourish) nap and he can stay up the rest of the day with only a little grumpyness.... hence the maybe he's going to one nap? We'll see. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Mom Check-In:</b> I'm doing great. It's so crazy to see the difference this kid is for my attitude and with Noah. I feel so much more happy in general and I'm much more healthy and it just makes me more excited for life with these kids. I'm really excited for this holiday season and just being together more as a family. There will be a lot more days off with vacations and holidays and I can't wait for everyone to be together. </li>

Not to mention taking pictures is the last thing on my mind when I'm snuggling and playing with them. I really do try to put the phone down and enjoy our time together.<br />

We've been busy working on our <a href="https://alltheprettythings-cristina.blogspot.com/2017/09/fall-bucket-list.html" target="_blank">Fall Bucket List </a>and making good progress. We've decorated the house for fall which Noah loves to help with. We've picked out Halloween costumes, made some yummy desserts and other treats, we've been outside roasting s'mores, making fires, picking the last of the garden and eating all the raspberries we can.<br />

We've watched way too much football for my taste, but Noah is loving it. We even headed to to watch some GV football in person. The kids loved it. I crashed at the end of the night and slept like a little baby. Two kids at a football game is tough work! We've even taken our winter pictures for our Christmas cards so we're for sure ahead of the game. Now if we could just get Peyton to start walking....Ccristinathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03229902046657872937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6305253373390719448.post-59753387010574432072017-09-11T10:43:00.000-04:002017-09-11T10:43:06.822-04:00Fall Bucket ListThe weather outside is starting to feel crisp and the geese are all flocking to our lake making noise outside our windows at an ungodly hour which means fall is right around the corner. I'm already excited for jeans and sweatshirt weather, cold after dinner walks and nights watching some TV snuggled by the fireplace. I have so many things I want to do as a family or at least with the kids so I jotted down some ideas. This weekend we crossed the first one of our lists and headed to the Apple Festival in Sparta for some bouncy houses, turtle racing and lots of free apples.<br />

After couple of hours of getting all of our energy out we headed back home with both kids passed out before we even left the parking lot. Success for all of us but better yet when they were both in bed by eight... me by 8:30.<br />

What a sweet mischievous kid that Peyton is. I can already see trouble for me in the future. He's so loving, gives kisses and hugs and yet you find him getting into all drawers and pulling things out everywhere in the kitchen. He heads to the stairs the moment you take your eye off him. Stinker.<br />
<br />
I can honestly say he's been my easiest baby yet. Maybe because he's the second one, or maybe because he was just an easy kid but regardless he's been a very much needed addition to the family and I can't wait to see what the next year has waiting for him.<br />
<br />
For Peyton's party we did our usual big family get together. We bought a tent, rented some tables and chairs and went outside. So much easier for cleanup and plenty of room for the kids to run around. It was a little windy but the weather held out great and wasn't too hot for August so we were happy. I made lasagna and salad, and cake and cupcakes. We kept it simple and just enjoyed having people around.<br />
<br />
Unlike Noah, Peyton went all in on his cupcake and seemed just as oblivious when singing Happy Birthday. Overall, another party success! Thanks everyone that came out an celebrated!<br />

<br />
Two more weeks until his birthday! Time is still flying and it doesn't look like it's going to slow down one bit. We've been fairly active outside this summer and Peyton is finally starting to get some color. Poor guy did not get my dark skin and is as white as snow. He seems to enjoy being on the beach and in the water. He loves to play with Noah and chases him around the house when he's not busy doing his own thing which includes making the house a mess. I gave him his first haircut last week and although he looks so much older I kind of miss that fuzz ball. <br />

<ul>
<li><b>How old is Peyton?:</b> 50 Weeks<b> - </b>11.5 Months</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Peyton is how big?: </b> 22 lbs | Size 4 diapers | 12-18mo clothes</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Sleep:</b> Ok, we're pretty much down to two naps at home. Not the worst thing ever. Gives us consistency and a little bit more room for activities and what-not. </div>
</li>
</ul>
Up for the day around 7:30-8a - Finger food breakfast. and a sippy cup of milk. <br />
Nap 2ish hrs later<br />
Nap 1: 2-2.5 ish hrs<br />
Finger food lunch and a sippy of milk around 12p-1p<br />
Up for 2-2.5hrs ish<br />
Nap 2: 2-2.5 ish hrs<br />
Up for the rest of the day<br />
Light finger food snack and sippy cup of milk, or milk in a bottle which we're fazing out. <br />
Dinner around 6p - whatever we're having <br />
Bath time and night time stuff starts at 7<br />
Down for the night with a bottle around 7:30p - 5-7oz<br />
<br />
On school days he take 30-45mins naps, stays up way too long and pretty
much just refuses to sleep so by the time he gets home he's super
grumpy. We're also just finishing the last of the formula by mixing it with whole milk and then we'll be all done with the formula with this kid. <br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Milestones:</b> He's still talking a lot. Moving everywhere. Still refusing to take steps but he gets around so good I guess he doesn't really need to. He crawls up the stairs and I've found him climbing on step stools to get places. His favorite is the pantry and Noahs bed so you really have to keep an eye on him so he doesn't fall. I have yet to see him figure out how to get down once he is up. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>What I’m excited about/looking forward to: </b>Peyton is almost one and time has flown so much faster with Peyton than with Noah. I can't believe we're already here and I really have to get planning his birthday. I sent out invitations so at least we have a date set but everything else I haven't even though of. We're nearing the end of the summer and we're trying to soak every little bit that's left. I'm hoping this weekend we get out to the beach and just hang out as a family.</li>

What a fun time we had! This was Peytons first plane ride so I was a little worried about how he might handle it. He did great, or as good as a baby could do. There were some wiggly times but he handled it like a champ and feel asleep for about half of both plane rides so I'll take it. Noah is obsessed with watching movies on the iPad so he was super content and awesome to travel with.<br />

When we got to Florida we rented a car. It's so much easier with the kids not having to rely on someone else when getting around. We shared a three bedroom condo with the rest of the family. The kids and Jeff and I shared a room which wasn't the most fun with their loud sleeping, but it sure was fun and convenient to have everyone stay together. We were out at the pool most of the time and then during nap times someone would stay back and chill while Peyton or Noah slept.<br />

Our last day we went to Magic Kingdom. I've never been before and really didn't mind one way or another if we ever went but I will say it's a great place for younger kids like Noah and he really had a great time. So did the adults. Luckily we had fast passes for all the rides we had which made it so much more manageable with an inpatient kid. Noah did so good on the rides. He wasn't scared at all like some of the rides at Legoland in San Diego. He even rode his first roller coaster and I couldn't be more proud.<br />

The next morning Jeff drove the kids and I to the airport and we headed back home. We were stopped by TSA and I received a nice little pat down. They tested and then threw out my milk which was a huge bummer but eventually we got through. A little stressful with one parent and two kids but we made it on our flight with a couple minutes to spare. When we finally landed I was so happy to be home. We had a great time but the thought of everyone sleeping in their own room was so exciting. We all slept all night without interruptions and woke up feeling much more refreshed.

I have so much to document and the pictures just sit there waiting for me. Anyway, here is Noah's birthday party. He requested paw patrol so that's what we have him. He was the most excited for the paw patrol masks and gave them out to everyone to wear. Of course he had to pick who everyone got to be. We opened presents, played on the beach and shot of special rockets. Noah was the center of attention the whole time and I'm pretty sure he loved it.<br />

My mom keeps reminding me to post Peyton updates, so this one's for you mom. =) I really have no excuse since I do my updates at work but somehow I find a million other things to do here. Peyton has grown quite a lot in the last ten weeks. He's started making a lot more talking noises, pointing and grabbing for things. I don't think he can understand much but at least he's communicating with us a little more. <br />
<br />

<ul>
<li><b>How old is Peyton?:</b> 46 Weeks<b> - </b>11 Months</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Peyton is how big?: </b> 22 lbs | Size 4 diapers | 12-18mo clothes</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Sleep:</b> Ok, so sleep shifted a ton after we put Peyton in daycare. During off days, and on days he's not sick or super teething he does still follow the same schedule. Some days dropping his third nap and just stays up longer during his awake time. </div>
</li>
</ul>
Up for the day around 7:30-8a - 16T solids and 4-6oz<br />
Nap1.25-1.5 hrs later<br />
Nap 1: 1.5-2 hrs<br />
Up for 1.5 ish hours 11:30a ish - 16T solids and 4ish oz<br />
Nap 2: 1.5-2 hrs<br />
Up for 1.5 ish hours 3:15p ish - 9oz bottle<br />
Nap 3: 1-1.25 hrs<br />
(sometimes a catnap 20-30mins)<br />
Up for the rest of the day<br />
Dinner around 6p 16T solids and finger foods<br />
Bath time and night time stuff starts at 7<br />
Down for the night with a bottle around 7:30p - 5-7oz<br />
<br />
On school days he take 30-45mins naps, stays up way too long and pretty much just refuses to sleep so by the time he gets home he's super grumpy. I really hate that. Sometimes we can put him down for a quick cat-nap before dinner, other times we just ride it out. Going for after-dinner walks and just being outside in the evening helps since he's not quite as whiny.<br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>Milestones:</b> We have a total of eight teeth now! That is so crazy. The top four and the bottom four. Somehow though he's still not as good of an eater than Noah was with three teeth. Peyton is super picky is would probably just live of fruits if I didn't offer anything else. He really does a good job at sitting and standing, rolling around, crawling and cruising around all furniture. He's very mobile. As I mentioned above he's pointing and holding his arms out to communicate things he wants. He's also much more vocal.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>What I’m excited about/looking forward to: </b>I'm really excited for our family trip to Florida in less than a week. It's going to be a lot of fun but I'm super nervous to fly with both kids. Who knows what the sleeping situation will be like and keeping the kids entertained, especially Peyton is going to be hard. We'll be heading to Disney one of the days so by the time we are done with this vacation I'm hoping the kids will sleep for 4163587 days.</li>

He came in our room bright and early and said his tummy hurt. I'm pretty sure he knew he was the birthday boy and anything goes today. We made special sprinkle pancakes and blew out some candles. We sang happy birthday and I'm sure this is the first year he's realized he's kind of a big deal. He grinned the whole song.<br />

<br />
Noah is growing up to be quite the beautiful kid. He's smiley and nice. Super polite and so grown up for just being four years old. He's smart and witty and pretty cool; much cooler than I ever was, that's for sure. I know he secretly loves his brother even though he doesn't let him play with his toys and claims he doesn't like hugs from him because he's slobbery, but once in a while you'll catch him talking to Peyton, handing him some extra toys or even play wrestling while I'm steps away. I'm looking forward to Peyton getting older to see what kind of relationship these two will have.<br />
<br />
My hopes for you, my little baby boy, is to always stay little and love on your mom. I'm going to need your hugs and snuggles even when you're twenty. I hope you continue to get excited for the little things and you teach your brother just how great of a quality that is. I hope you continue wanting to know more because a smart kid will do great things when he gets older. But my biggest hope of all is that you keep loving family time as much as you do now because I know when you get older other things may seem more fun but nothing will ever be as important as loving on your family.<br />

Summer is supposed to be about relaxing and yet I find that we're constantly doing things and not much of them are relaxing. Keeping the kids busy and taking them on adventures is so much fun and rewarding to see them so excited but relaxing is so not something we do with kids. Lately we've expanded on our after dinner walks around the neighborhood to occasionally stopping by Grand Valley and enjoying the scenery. Noah seems to enjoy riding his bike for much longer when he gets to explore the campus. I sure hope he's a Laker when he gets older. We pulled out the attachment for Jeffs bike so they can ride in the back with him. We tested it out with both kids and although I think Peyton is a touch to short to touch the bottom, in a month or so he should be doing pretty good. Noah takes up so much room though, there is no way they will both fit in there next year.<br />

This weekend we headed down to Kalamazoo for Jeffs first triathlon of the season. We weren't on the road for more than twenty minutes when Peyton barfed all of the back seat. We turned around, headed back home, gave him a quick bath while Jeff hosed the car seat down and then we tried again. We we're settled at my moms house for the night, we all went to bed no problem. Noah and I slept together and about two hours after I headed to bed Noah woke up with a huge puke all over the covers. I totally forgot my glasses so I was blindly trying to figure out where all the mess was and how I could get Noah to the bathroom. I had to wake Jeff up to help me. What a mess. The bed what so not usable after that so Noah went to sleep in Jeffs room with two twin beds and I hopped in with Peyton. Thinking the disaster was over I slept the entire night to wake up and find that Jeff and Noah had been up four times in the middle of the night puking. Noah told us he was feeling much better though, so after one last dry heave in the morning we woke Peyton up and we all headed out to the tri to cheer on Jeff. By the way, it was his birthday. Happy pukey birthday Jeff. : /<br />

We all made it through. Sunday was such a long day and everyone was exhausted. We did a million loads of laundry and my Moms house before we left and finally headed home. By the time we got there I was feeling way under the weather. We toughed it up to celebrate Jeffs birthday and then we put everyone to bed. I took a shower and puked all over. I can't believe it got me too. Such a bummer. Needless to say, our weekend was full of ups and downs. I'm glad to be back at work and catch a break before next weekend. Noahs birthday party is happening and my little Baby Bear is no longer a baby! Gosh it makes me so sad. We need another baby.

Exclamation? Yep, that's right. We had such a great time but I was so ready to be back and see the kids. Kind of made me wish we could have seen them a little more. Maybe just at night to tuck them in. We still had an awesome time though. Lots of relaxing, laying by the pool, eating way too much food and sleeping in 'till whenever. That's what vacation is all about, right?<br />

I finally got my tan back and no peeling yet *fingers crossed*. I'm so ready for it to be that warm here too. I want to get the paddle board out and check out the new houses on our road. I want to show Peyton the beach and watch how much sand he eats. I want to wear shorts all day. Ugh... so excited!<br />
<br />
As for now, we're back to normal schedule seeing each other in passing during the week. Nothing like getting home at midnight and going back to work at seven in the morning just to work seven straight days. Bummer. Good news though; we've got three birthdays and an anniversary coming up in the next three weeks so lots of parties and fun soon to come. =)<br />

Peyton is so chill and just hangs out and Noah rides his bike riding way faster than he should and giving me heart attacks as he turns the corners. Sometimes late at night, when the kids are tired I swear that's when they get the whiny face going and I feel like they need the most attention. Being outside though makes everything better and re-sets their mood so we're ready to take baths and do our night time routine.<br />

This weekend, although not after dinner, but after nap, we headed out as a family to GV for a walk. That is by far the best place to walk around. Now that is summer it's just slow enough that there aren't students everywhere and Noah can ride around without running into somebody. I love taking pictures of the kids there too. The trees and flowers are the best around the spring and summer and I snap away while they just hang out. We get to talk about the buildings and show Noah where we lived while on campus. We talk about what we want to learn when we go to college or look at the bugs and leaves on the ground. So much to do! But mostly, we get out energy our and it makes a great way to settle into a nap or into bed and that my friends, is easy parenting at it's best. ...as Jeff would say.Ccristinathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03229902046657872937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6305253373390719448.post-50549337438859644272017-04-25T09:23:00.000-04:002017-04-25T09:29:24.534-04:00Peyton - 37 Weeks<a href="http://alltheprettythings-cristina.blogspot.com/2014/03/week-38-nine-months.html" target="_blank">Noah 38 Weeks</a><br />
I know I keep saying this but Peyton is just the happiest kid ever. He smiles and laughs so much and it's just so cute. I want to snuggle him up all day except he wont let me because all he ever wants to do is chase after Noah or play with his toys. Second child, right? Noah is definitely his favorite person right now and really just wants to be on him, or with him, or chasing after him non-stop. He's growing up so quickly and I can't believe he's going to be one this summer. I've really got to start thinking about his birthday plans...<br />

He's moving around objects while standing. His cruising is slowly getting much better. A little longer and I have a feeling we're gonna have a walker!</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><b>What I’m excited about/looking forward to: </b>Guys, three weeks 'till an adults only trip to Mexico. Enough said. We need a break. Otherwise, the weather is getting great here. We're taking lots of walks outside, riding bikes, doing chalk and playing in the grass. Not a long time left until we get the beach fun going!</li>

Talking, playing, opening up Easter baskets and eating lots of good food. Holidays are so funny with kids. I think it's going to be so relaxing and great to just sit around playing and then it's over and it hits me so hard. I'm exhausted. Work is almost a break today. I get to sit here in peace and quiet. It's kind of crazy. And yet, I had a great time. Noah was super excited the whole weekend. Skipped all his naps which was even more exhausting. He's so not ready to do that yet. And Peyton was just happy to be around people, getting snuggled and loved on. He's so on the move and just wants to move all the time. He likes being busy so people being around was a great opportunity for him to do that.<br />

We spent time with both sides of the family. On Saturday, Jeffs. Mine on Sunday. We hosted Easter dinner and I made an effort to make it as fancy as possible. All the nice places and linens out and it turned out just as I imagined. I was so proud I made it work and everything turned out so yummy. After all the festivities were done Jeff took Noah to Lowes to run some errands and Peyton slept his last nap while I cleaned the house down. Boy was it nice to lay in bed last night. Didn't take long to pass out and that was the end of Easter weekend.<br />

Problem is, sometimes they just don't turn out quite right. Have you seen those posts for Pinterest Fails? So funny. So here is the second part of <a href="http://alltheprettythings-cristina.blogspot.com/2014/06/pinterest-recipes-ive-tried-and-loved.html" target="_blank">Pinterest Recipes I've Tried And Loved</a> that taste amazing and I promise, will turn out great.<br />

<br />1. <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/212232201166993802/" target="_blank">Creamy Chicken Quinoa and Broccoli Casserole </a>-<br />
This recipe is a go-to for us at dinner time. Everyone loves it. You just put everything together in an oven and let it cook. You can prep it ahead of time so it's a easy weeknight meal.<br />
<br />
2. <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/212232201167985330/" target="_blank">The Best Focaccia Bread </a>-<br />
Again, I'm all about ease here. It is slightly time consuming waiting for things to rise but otherwise it's an easy recipe with items you already have in your pantry and it always turns out perfect. You just can't mess this up.<br />
<br />
3. <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/212232201165733673/" target="_blank">Better Chocolate Babka </a>-<br />
Probably one of my favorite desserts ever made. It's hard & time consuming. In the end though, you'll be glad you made it. If you love chocolate, this one's for you!<br />
<br />
4. <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/212232201165723201/" target="_blank">Strawberry Chocolate Chip Cake </a>-<br />
Ok, if you don't want to work quite so hard for dessert, I've got another option. This one is easy. You're kids can help you mix the ingredients and put the strawberries on top. It looks so pretty when it comes out of the over and it also tastes great. <br />
<br />
5. <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/212232201165642212/" target="_blank">Hawaiian Slow Cooker Chicken </a>-<br />
If you can plan ahead of time a little and put the chicken in the crock pot, this is a great meal for a busy evening. It's a slightly different take on chicken and even better; healthy.<br />
<br />
6. <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/212232201167719093/" target="_blank">The Easiest Ice Cream Shakes</a> -<br />
I'm a little biased because this is my own recipe, but for real guys, this is calling my name. Especially with home made ice cream. So easy and quick and perfect for a special treat sitting on the deck.<br />
<br />
7. <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/212232201169473699/" target="_blank">Oil Free Chocolate Coconut Granola</a> -<br />
I'm obsessed with this! I make a quadruple batch about once a week. I eat it most mornings for breakfast and I add ground flax-seed to it to make it even more healthy. I also snack on it and I just can't get enough. Add a couple of chocolate chips and this is dessert as well. Go make it now.<br />
<br />
8. <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/AaI-JmOn31o5FkCQEB9GWzd9R10VN3vbg7P1xDs44rFiLjzssPECRHE/" target="_blank">Chicken Breasts Stuffed with Motzz and Spinach </a>-<br />
This is my most recent recipe I've tried. It turned out so good. I did make my own filling though with cream cheese, cheddar cheese, cooked onions and spinach. You really could add anything that you like. It was an easy dinner and served with a little brown rice on the side a perfect meal.<br />
<br />
9. <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/212232201167658532/" target="_blank">Cheesy Enchilada Rice Skillet</a> -<br />
Another go to weeknight meal. One pan dishes are so great and so easy.<br />
<br />
10. <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/212232201166044179/" target="_blank">Cheesy Cauliflower Bake</a> -<br />
For me this is more of a side dish than a meal, although with the bacon on top... who knows. Either way, it's healthy and a good substitute to cheesy potatoes.

I'm starting to get really excited for the warm weather coming up. We had such a nice mild weekend and we were able to go outside and kick the ball and catch some pretend bears with our blanket traps. Peyton walked around the driveway in the walker while he watched Jeff and Noah run around. Jeff also worked this weekend so we had to fill up some time with some fun activities. Some worked, some did not. We attempted to go on a walk on a new trail. Peyton lost it and screamed the whole way, Noah decided he had enough after about 20 minutes and begged to go back to the car. On the way back he fell of his bike and refused to get back on which means I pushed the stroller while I carried the bike back a quarter mile. Needless to say, that part did not work out. Peyton went down for a nap and Noah and I made dinner and we were back to normal. On Sunday, we did get to make a special dessert during one of Peyton's naps. Easter chocolate and cheesecake cupcakes topped with Easter sprinkles. Noah is always such a good helper in the kitchen. He loves to help me crack the eggs and use the hand mixer to mix everything up. Of course he never passes up a chance to taste all the things. <br />
<br />
With an empty weekend coming up and more nice weather ahead, maybe we can re-try our walk since Daddy will be home. I'm ready to get the patio furniture out and start having dinners outside. Not only is the sunset the best out on the lake, but there's so much less clean-up and that makes a happy Mom. Ccristinathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03229902046657872937noreply@blogger.com0
