Happy Birthday Squishy!!

Happy Birthday Squishy!! A little apprehensive about the flaming candle, weird considering I really thought he had NO fear!!
A few gifts...the look on his face is like he already knows that it's just clothes!

And finally the cake...why do my kids eat their first piece of cake so daintily? He just stuck his finger in it a couple of times and then that was it!

UP UP and AWAY!!!

I never knew that 1 year could fly by so fast!! It was Payton's birthday on Thursday and I just cannot believe it!! He has been such an amazing addition to our family. He has a smile that consumes his face, a giggle that makes everyone else giggle, an inquisitive mind, and a determination like I have never seen!! We love you Payton!!

A few BIG milestones!!

Well, I don't have any pictures to post, but I do have a few milestones to post!! I have to announce this in all caps,

COOPER IS FINALLY POTTY TRAINED!!

We are now 6 days with only 2 accidents...and we have stayed dry every night but one!! I have never been so proud to see my little boy produce a #2 in the toilet! I seriously danced around the house and truly did not stop smiling for the entire day! I cannot believe how hard it was and how rewarding it has been. Thank you Cooper for FINALLY succombing the the #2's!!

And equally as exciting!!! My baby boy Payton is definitely now a walker!! Granted, he may look like Frankenstein. He has been flirting with walking for weeks now, but this last week he has totally started walking. He used to walk just between 2 people, but all of a sudden this last week he will just stand up in the middle of the room and take off. It has been so exciting to see him just waddle across the room, and then through the week see the confidence and the speed increase. He is such an amazing kid, and such a fast learner!

This has been an amazing week for me, I truly am so proud of my 2 little guys and I am so excited to see them growing up before my very eyes!!
