Our Silly Little Girl

After having two boys I could not wait to have a sweet little girl and dress her in cute little dresses and put bows in her hair and watch her as she sat quietly and colored or something. I did get my cute little girl, but she rarely sits and today when I went to pick her up at nursery she looked like this bow ripped out of her hair and she was missing that cute little dress I had put on her. She apparently got tired of her dress and took it off and to top it off she could not hold still so then I spent the next ten minutes chasing her around the church while trying to carry my stuff and when I picked her up she was throwing herself all over the place so I almost dropped her I am sure everyone there thought both of us were crazy. I love this little girl even though I am finding that she has just as much or more energy then the boys every had she definitely keeps both Chris and I on our toes.

SoodleSeat

One of my good friends has developed a product that helps calm and soothe babies who have colic or babies that are just fussy and have a hard time sleeping. I know that she had a baby of her own that had colic and she tried everything to soothe him so I am sure there was much thought put into this product. If you or anyone you know has a baby that has colic or that is fussy and not sleeping well I would recommend giving this product a try. The name of the product is SoodleSeat just click on the name and it will take you to the site with more information about the product and some testimonials of mothers who have bought and tried the product and found that it helped.

5,4,3... Blast Off

On Tuesday Chris brought home a rocket kit to build with the boys and then they were going to launch the rocket on Saturday. The boys could not have been more excited they could not wait for Chris to get home on Wednesday so they could start building their rocket. I thought this would be like an hour project, but it turned into a 3 day project by the time they built and painted the rocket. We then made the mistake of telling them we were going to launch the rocket on Saturday morning so they were in our room at 6:30 am ready to go and there was no way we could convince them to go back to sleep. After what seemed like hours since we were up when it was still dark outside it was finally time to go launch the rocket and by now the rocket had a name and it was Captain America as you can tell from the pictures below all the boys especially Chris were very proud of this rocket.

Then Kolter showed up with his rocket which became known as the banana rocket and the competition was on. It was no longer about doing something fun with the boys it was now all about making sure our rocket went higher then Kolter's rocket. As you can see below trash talking about Captain America had very serious consequences.

It was finally time for Kolter and Chris to set off their rockets and they were just as excited about it as the boys. To be honest I am not sure which rocket went higher if you talk to Chris it was his and if you talk to Kolter it was his so I don't think we will ever know who had the better rocket, but they all had a lot of fun playing with their rockets I think the big boys enjoyed it even a little more then the little ones.

She Really Loves the Tub

Payton usually sits or lays in the tub with her blanket while I get ready I can't imagine that it is very comfortable but she loves it and when I turned around the other day I noticed she had fallen asleep. I have changed numerous outfits because she turns the water on and instead of trying to get out just sits there and plays in the cold water. She always wants to take her baths in our tub instead of the kids tub I can't really blame her there is more room to splash around in our tub. She is so much fun she has changed so much in the last few months she loves running around with her brothers and playing with all of her toys I find her kitchen food all over the house. I have to admit she is pretty spoiled and has us all wrapped around her finger and she knows it, but it is so hard knowing that she is going to be the only girl this is definitely something I am going to have to work on before we are in big trouble.
