I came home from work last night at 6pm, to a very pleasant surprise! Gratton decided randomly and on his own, that he wanted to share his toys with Kahlan, and wanted her to play in his "house" with him! I couldn't believe it! He also kicked David and I out of the room, because he wanted to play with just his sister. So he told us to "go outside!" Now I don't typically let my toddler boss me around, but I was so surprised and curious that I laughed, threw my hands up and walked out of the room as he closed the door behind me. I stayed close by the door to listen, in case this was all a trick to make his little sister cry without any interruption. However, nothing of the sort happened! They were just laughing and playing, and Gratton even told David, "Papa Santa (he thinks his Grandpa Mayfield is Santa)gave me lots of toys, so I can share with Kahlan. Also guys, the way he says Kahlan is adorable! So David took a picture of them plau

Kahlan Isobel Mayfield

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

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!

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

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
