31 months old!

That sounds so crazy! Mayson is just a little over 2 1/2 years old and I haven't update anyone on his milestones for awhile.
• Mayson weighs 39 pounds and 8 ounces and a little over 39 inches tall. He is in over 95th percentile for both height and weight.
• Mayson wears a 4t shirt and 3t pants. We will be buying 5t and 4t for anything new though. He has almost grown out of his size 10 shoes too.
• He has really started talking a lot lately. Repeating everything you say and ask him to say. He can name shapes, tell you colors, count to 20 (he misses some numbers but he is close), he knows most of his animals, knows all his body parts, he can identify some letters and he tries to sing his ABCs.
• His favorites are cars, baseball, golf playing outside and wrestling with Sadie. His favorite colors are orange and blue. He loves dinosaurs and being loud! He loves fruit: strawberries, bananas, grapes, watermelon, pretty much everything. Veggies are still a no go, sometimes he will eat corn (does that even count).

Every day his personality grows and he learns new things. He is so much fun most of the time considering he is on those wonderful terrible twos.

Shopping, Splash pads, Sweets and Sharks!

We had a fun filled weekend full of alliterations. Two teachers, two toddlers, 4 M's, 2 J's, and lots of S's. Jodi, Jayden and Madeline came out to visit and I couldn't have been more excited. For having two toddlers and a one month old and different schedules from two different time zones I think we managed pretty well. The girls got some shopping done and the boys got to play. I can't wait to live closer so our kids can play more often. Thanks for coming to visit Jodi, we miss you guys!

Poor Mayson

This past weekend poor Mayson broke out in a rash. It was so strange how it came about. Friday it started with a few spots, I gave him some Benadryl and it went away so I didn't worry much about it. He woke up Saturday and it was a little worse than on Friday . Another dose of Benadryl and it went away. Sunday he woke up and it was terrible!! I didn't give him anything and said we are going to quick care. They said it was just an allergic reaction to something, but to what? We never really figured out what it was but hopefully it won't come back.

Along with his rash he got a really nice bump on his face from playing with his friend, Jackson. Boys will be boys.

1 month old

I can't believe it has already been one month! This has been such a busy month. In Makynzie's 30 days she has had at least one of her grandparents here for 24 of those days. It has been so great having an extra set of hands around since Mike is working so much.

Makynzie's 1 Month Milestones
• Our tall skinny girl went to the doctor today for her well baby check. She weighed in at 8 pounds 5 ounces. That is in the 25th to 50th percentile. That is what Mayson weighed at birth :). She also was 21 3/4 inches long, which is in the 75th to 90th percentile.
• Makynzie is still wearing newborn clothes and diapers. Mommy is making her tons of bows to go with all the cute outfits that she is going to be in hopefully soon.
• She is nursing every 3 to 4 hours right now, but would eat more often if I would let her.
• We are still working on sleeping. She takes a really long nap usually during the middle of the day. We are working on Mayson taking a nap during that time so Mommy has a chance to breathe. At night she has been sleeping for stretches of 3 to 4 hours. She sleeps in her pack play and nap nanny, but her favorite is curled up on mommy in the rocking chair.
• Makynzie enjoys her swing, but would much rather be cuddled up with Mommy. I don't mind, but Mayson does.
• Mayson is adjusting to her a little more each day. He will come over and say take her, and will want to hold her. He will even name all of her little body parts.

Hospital Pictures

A company came around at the hospital to take pictures of Makynzie. The lady did an excellent job and got some really cute pictures. Here is the website, customer number/password.

Doctor Visits

Makynzie and I both had to go to the doctor today. Newborn check for Makynzie and to get my staples removed. Dr. Kneesel was pleased in how my incision looked and said he would see me back in a week for another check. Makynzie saw Dr. Alazard since Dr. Hyun was out of he office. Her weight was up an ounce to 7 pounds 3 ounces and was measuring 20 1/4 inches long. Our tall and skinny girl is in the 25th percentile for weight and the 75-90th for height. Dr. Alazard was so great with Makynzie and even asked about how big brother was adjusting. Back in a week for her 2 week appointment.
Busy day, she is zonked!

Picture Day!

We headed down to Nelson, NV to take a few maternity pictures and family pictures. Kristin Wilson did an amazing job dealing with my crabby I don't want my picture taken son. Here are a few of my favorites.
