Kids are a lot of work, but it is worth it.

A few weeks ago I went to help my cousin Tina and her husband Travis with their twins that were born on April 13th a boy and a girl (are they adorable or what). I went for a long weekend and helped with the night time feedings and all the other stuff that goes along with babies. I had forgotten what it is like to have a newborn, it just seems like Payton has grown up so fast, but it really was not that long ago when I was still waking up in the middle of the night to feed her. I cannot believe that Payton can now walk around, get into cupboards; eat pizza and chicken nuggets, and even talk. I really like this stage that she is in (except for when she throws fits), because she is kind of independent, but still adorable.

Anyway after spending the weekend with my cousin, I definitely have a new respect for any mom that has multiple children, because it takes a lot of energy and work when you have two. I always wanted twins when I was younger, but do not think I really knew what I would be getting myself into, but I do think my cousin will be blessed for all she is doing.

Payton Is Officially My Daughter!

Last week my Mom and I took Payton to the Zoo for a little while. We had a great time walking around looking at all the animals and watching Payton as she pointed out that every animal had a nose. I am so glad that my Mom stays home now, so we can do fun things with her during the week and not just on the weekends. Anyways after the Zoo I took Payton home and within minutes she had found some of her old Pajamas and was attempting to put them while she tried to take off her other clothes. All I could do was laugh, because usually the first thing I do when I get home is put on pajama pants. I helped Payton put on her pajamas and then I called Reddin and told him that she is officially my daughter. Payton stayed in those pajamas for the rest of the day, I guess she is like me and just wants to be comfortable at all times even if she looks silly.
