Overalls

Nothing is Cuter than a little boy in his overalls!

My Great Grandma bought these overalls for Payton when he was born and they finally fit! I had to take pictures today when he was wearing them. I wish my Great Grandma was still around to see him wear them, she would have been proud!

What a blessing though that Payton actually got to meet his Great Great Grandmother! 

All About Two on 02/02

What a perfect date to post an update on Payton at age 2! Here are a few things about Payton at age 2:     

He is starting to talk really well and can pretty much get his point across with words; but watch out! He can throw one mean tantrum when you don't understand what he's saying, or when he's tired or frustrated! That's one of the main things we're working on with him right now and let me just tell you, discipline is not my forte!
He pretty much knows all of his letters and numbers (yeah I'm proud of it!). He's a very loving & sweet boy (as long as he's not tired or frustrated!).
My favorite word that he says right is Hapergone; this could mean macaroni or pepperoni depending on what meal we are having but he just sounds so cute when he says it!
My favorite thing that he does right now is when he wants to give you a hug or wants you to pick him up, he says "Come Here" and he wraps his arms around you. It melts my heart!

He has developed an obsession for Angry Birds! We have all of the little bird figures and he knows how to play the game on the Ipod, he knows how to unlock the Ipod and select games; in fact he calls the Ipod, Mypod!

He stills loves Trains & Music! We purchased a family pass to the Children's Museum this year (Thanks Grandma Betty!) and we go there at least once a week. They recently opened the All Aboard Exhibit, and Payton loves it!! They also have a music room with different instruments, those are basically where we spend the majority of our time at the Museum! It's always a fight to leave! I'm not going to lie, sometimes I bribe with Ice-Cream!

So far 2 is a pretty good year, although I can totally see where the term "Terrible Two's" comes from! We have 3 major goals this year: Big Boy Bed, No Pacifier, and Potty Training! I'm not looking forward to either of them! It is so exciting to watch him grow though!

Try, Try Again

It's been SOOOOO long since I've updated this blog!! It's seems like every time I sit down to post an update I just can't think of any words to type! I want my words to sound good when I type them all out, like I've thought them through. I want to be witty, I want people to understand what it is that I'm trying to say. I wish I could put a paragraph together of funny & clever words and it would make people laugh, I wish I could tell a story in such detail that it would make people feel like they were there. I wish I could write beautiful words and put them all together and they would be just that, beautiful. But for some reason I just can't!

I read a quote on Pinterest the other day (although I can't find it now) and it said "It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you are not" and I thought "Wow, isn't that the Truth!" Here I've been thinking that if I can't write beautiful or funny words, then I should write anything at all.

So, for now, I'm going to keep updating the blog, even if my words don't make sense or aren't fun to read. Because after all, the reason I started this blog was to record memories for my family and that's all that matters.

So starting today, Feb 1st, I'm going to challenge myself to post something everyday! It might not be exciting everyday or cute or funny. But life isn't exciting, cute or funny everyday! Sometimes life is boring, sometimes life is hard! And that's what I want to record!
