Help out where you can

Peyton has been a very big helper the last couple of weeks. He has many important jobs around the house. One of the most important is that when we change Landon's diaper he get's to throw it away! Besides that little job he has other things he likes to "help" with. The newest is that when I am pumping he says "I want to pump too". So, the other night we let him try on the new gear I bought for size. It might be a little big for him but he feels very useful!

Someday Peyton will possibly not be too happy with us for this picture... But, Jeremy and I found it too funny not to photograph and post.

Gingerbread House

Since it has been so cold out we have been trying to find things to do with "just Peyton" in the house. This weekend Peyton and mom spent some time making our first gingerbread house.

Peyton was a terrific helper. I was very impressed with how interested he was in helping with everything.
He loved putting the candy on. There might of been a little taste testing on his part also:)

A proud 2 year old with the finished product!

I'm A Rock Star

On Saturday Peyton's cousin Amara came to play for a bit They were a great two man band. Peyton's favorite song is "Hey Now I'm a Rock Star". He loves to play that song on the guitar or his crocodile keys, while he sings along.

Christmas Tree

During the blizzard on Wednesday we finally had a chance to decorate the Christmas Tree. Traditionally we have always done it the weekend after Thanksgiving, but this year it was not happening. Peyton thought it was the best thing in the world. He was such a great helper.

As you can see if thought he needed his stool for this job. He didn't quite understand the concept that we don't put green garland on a green tree. He was so proud of himself we just let him keep working.

He loved hanging the "jingle balls" as he called it.

But, he liked to hang all of them in about the same spot. Don't worry they were all distributed evenly at naptime by a little elf.

In the craziness of the last few weeks I thought briefly about not putting up the tree this year. I am so glad that it was only a brief thought. Peyton loves the tree and the lights. He keeps tell us that the tree is beautiful~

Tummy Time at 2 years?

Peyton thought that he could use a little tummy time too. What a difference 2 years and 8 months make.

I'm AWAKE!

It has seemed that every picture that we have of Landon his eyes are closed due to sleeping. I finally snapped one of him AWAKE!- such a serious face all the time

Pictures

Today we got pictures taken of both of the boys. They both did wonderful.

Here are a few of the pictures that were taken.
