Kahlan Isobel Mayfield

Image
So Kahlan is now seven months old, has two teeth, crawls all over the house, and I still haven't done a blog post about her being born! So I'm gonna get on that. I tell ya though, having two is busy! And that is why this is so late! So Kahlan was born on April 23, 2013. We were scheduled to be induced on the 23rd, but I went into labor the night before. She wanted to be on her own schedule I guess! You don't need details about her actually being born. If your parents still haven't had that talk with you, well... There's no hope for you anyways! I will say- epidurals all the way, and modern medicine is amazing. We had great nurses, a great Dr- Dr Jones from Teton Medical, and my Mother in law was there taking care of Gratton for two weeks. That by itself was the biggest help. Thank you Merle! When she was born, David and I were instantly in love. She was gorgeous! She had dark curly hair with bright blue eyes, and weighed 6 lbs and 4 oz. We were very shocked whe

Kahlan watches Harry Potter for the first time

Image
So here is the rule Kahlan- if you want to wake up and play before 5am, you'll be watching Harry Potter with mommy! This is the first time she's watched Harry Potter, but I had to start with the second movie because I couldn't find the first one. You have your big brother to thank for that one Kahlan! Well back to cleaning. This is my second day of my treatment on steroids and thank you Dr Hancock! I'm already feeling a bit better for the first time in ages!

Nutella and cheese sandwich

Image
Gratton wanted a very specific sandwich tonight- a nutella and cheese sandwich with wheat bread! He's insane! And he's actually eating it and says it's yummy!

Blue Batman!

Image
Gratton got these adorable Batman pajamas for his second birthday, from our awesome neighbors the Masons! He's never worn them for more than two seconds because he acts all scared and says the bad guys will get him. Well today he is brave and wanted to wear them! He even wanted his-blue batman shoes! I had no idea which shoes he was talking about, but apparently his black skater shoes are "blue batman" because they look like "big strong Dads" shoes. He says Dada is blue batman because he's strong, and so is uncle bubba and Jonny. But not mom because I'm not strong. I tell him I'm not strong because I get easy too tired to play all the rocket games that his dad and uncles play. So.. Gratton keeps lifting this toy up and grunting and saying how strong he is-like blue batman and daddy. Also, he is pretending to read a post it note that has writing on it, and he has politely informed me that the note says we need to go to Ray-Ray's house! And for

Kahlan loves music

Image
So Kahlan absolutely loves music. She lights up when music is on, especially instrumental music. She seems to really like Lindsey Sterling. I had the you time video on our tv and I was feeding her, and she freaked out cause she couldn't see the tv. When I adjusted her so she could see the tv again, she calmed down and was happy again.

Hot Dogs gone weird

Image
So gratton has a new weird way to eat hot dogs. This morning he had David make him a hot dog on a bun with honey on it. And he liked it! What a weird kid

Surprise Hugs

So last night, grat was upstairs playing and watching toy story and David and I and Bill were downstairs watching total recall. All of a sudden grat came downstairs and was all excited and gave each one of us a big hug! And i asked for another hug and then he gave everyone another hug. He is the sweetest boy ever! I love him to death!

Mud pie nap

Image
I was upstairs folding laundry and grat was downstairs watching go Diego go. It had been a few minutes since I checked on him, so I went downstairs. I found him on the couch asleep with his book-Mud Pie for Mother. That is his favorite book these last few days. He has me read it to him lots, and I catch him all the time pretending to read it to himself. It's the cutest book ever! And he's the cutest kid ever! Thank you Dolly Pardon imagination library! That's where he got the book. He gets a new one every month. That's why he's so into reading :-)

Pocket pals

Image
Gratton discovered pockets a few months ago. More recently he discovered that you could put things into pockets. Today he was wearing a shirt without a pocket and he didn't want pants. So he asked for a shirt with pockets so he could put his toy car in his pocket. Only button up shirts have pockets usually, so this is what he ended up wearing. Sans pants though of course!

Valentines Day 2013

Image
Yesterday was the best Valentines Day so far! David had to go to school early, and didn't get home until late, but we still made the best of it! Gratton and I hung out all day and did some fun stuff. Gratton gave me my first gift of the day when he slept in until 11am. I didn't even know what to do with myself. I started on school work but then decided that it was Valentines Day, so I was taking the day off! So I made some pink rice crispy treats for our neighbors instead. Then my little guy woke up! We had a fun day! First we filled out and colored on some Valentines Day cards for his Rose cousins, since we hadn't done that yet! Then we read some books, played with some toys, ate some food and did what he loves best- watched Toy Story! I had a Drs appointment at 3:30 that David said he was coming home for. He called though to tell me that he wasn't going to be able to make it because he had more school work than he thought. I was kinda bummed, cause I was looking fo

Family Bowling Night

Image
Yesterday Gratton and I went to take David dinner at work and we ended up having quite the adventure! We found David and warmed up the food, and then we ate. When Grat was done, he wanted to draw on the white boards (David was in a computer lab room that had big white boards). We drew some shapes and letters and scribbled out the calculus mumbo jumbo that was on the board (they guys said they were done with it). Then Davids friend asked us if we wanted to bowl with them in their league thing. It's a 3 week thing and there was 2 weeks left, and we thought that sounded pretty fun so of course we agreed. So we told grat it was time to go. He started erasing the board in a super cute way! Each time he erased a letter or shape he said bye to it- "bye Q, bye B, bye I, bye star, bye circle." It was so adorable and all the guys in the lab were impressed that he was saying the right letters, since he's barely 2. What can I say, my kids smart! I made sure I married good

Dragon in the Vents

Image
Yesterday morning Gratton and I were downstairs with David, while he was ironing a shirt. All or a sudden the heater kicked on really loud. Gratton jumped and got scared because he was close to the vent. David started laughing and told Gratton that there was a Dragon in the vent. That got Gratton pretty scared for a second and then kind of excited. He started saying "Hagar", which is his word for Dragon, over and over again and growling really loud. All day long he kept going back to the vent to look for the dragon. He even showed his Aunt Alysa where the dragon was. The heater wasn't on, so Alysa told him the Dragon was sleeping, and Gratton went "SHH!" with his hand in front of his mouth. It was pretty stinking funny. Kids have great imaginations!
