Appreciating Nonnie this morning...

You know when you move out from your parents, in my case pretty much my mom, you really are ready to be your own little family- but man I am going to sure miss my mom this time.  She has got up every morning and made me coffee, helped tremendously with the kids and was my walking buddy.  I will miss her dearly and appreciate her so much and all her and Darwin do for us.  I am going to be super swamped at work today, but taking the time out to tell some more stories about the babies. 

Brayden is all over- patty caking up a storm and just the handsome little man I have always dreamed of having.  We are super blessed because both of them are pretty good kids.  Payton went outside with Nonnie last night and a walk with her daddy.  Anthony takes her to the parks and loves it.  She is truly our little princess.  She loves working in the yard with Nonnie and playing in the dirt and water these days.  By the end of time she usually has dirt in her mouth and all over her face- too stinking cute.  She loves to eat dirt, not sure why we love that when we are young,lol.  Sooner Start comes out tomorrow and I can't wait for them to see how much she has accomplished lately.  She is so smart and I am so proud of her.  She is so so the very opposite than what we thought when she was born.  She is smart, funny and can be serious, well mannered and of course cute as a button.  She is signing, please, thank you and saying them as well.  She knows what everything means that you say, including "who's neighborhood are we in" she starts rambling on "Jack, Trenton, Lilly, Donna" as we get close to daycare.  They are going to start potty training so I guess that is the next goal to get through.  She already grabs her diaper and says yes when I ask her if she has gone potty, so hopefully that will help.  Brayden just stares at her like she is the best thing that has ever happened to him, well except me that is- he is very much a momma's boy and since little Payton is so independent and attached to her daddy- I absolutely love it!!!!  His hair is growing in and his eyes are a beautiful brown color.  He is so precious and I miss him just writing about him.  They are the cutest stage at 8 months and trying to pull up and just sitting there clapping- so so cute.  I am starting him on some small snacks and sippy cups :( can't believe how fast he has grown.  I tell him every day to stop getting bigger but he isn't listening :( great thing is soon he will be bigger that little Payton can wrestle around with him, she has already tried,lolololol.
