Play Mat

I pulled out the play mat for Paycen and Kaden loves it. It's like all his trucks, balls, riding toys, bats, and guys are obsolete. He has to play with the play mat. Kaden can lay under that thing for hours pulling on the toys and making the little lion play music. Sometimes I'll say to Paycen, "Let's go lay on your mat!" and then Kaden comes running. He dives for the mat and spreads his arms and legs out so there is no room for Paycen. Silly kid. He eventually scoots over, but what is it about baby toys that make our toddlers go crazy?

Candid shot of Paycen and Kaden playing. I love how Paycen is so much more alert. He watches Kaden all the time.


Kaden is such a good big brother, sharing the mat and all!!



A little tummy time for Paycen!! His neck is getting really strong.


Paycen had his 2 month appointment. He now weighs 9lbs 6oz! Yeah for Paycen. He also got his first round of shots. I forgot how big those needles were. It looked like it could go through his little leg. Paycen was a little lethargic all day and ran a low fever, but that night he slept 7 hours between feedings so I really can't complain.

Kaden is doing really well with his potty training. He has had minimal accidents. For my friends who have yet to endure this adventure let me give you one bit of advice. When using a public restroom with an automatic flushing toilet, cover the sensor with something. Kaden was sitting on this potty and all of a sudden it flushed. Let me say it was a traumatic experience. I don't think he will ever use a public restroom again. I don't blame him. It is scary when you are sitting there and all of a sudden the toilet flushes and water sprays your bum. Who could like water spraying your bum? Ummm nobody.

Poor Kaden. I'm always afraid they'll flush while I'm sitting on them too. Those are really darling pictures, Steph. You make cute boys!

I love the little "oh!" face that Paycen has in the tummy time picture. The day is getting closer when I get to see you!

He is very cute! It makes me feel bad for my poor mom because at 2 months old, your little one doesn't even weigh as much as I did at birth!

Gabe is the exact same way about all the baby toys. He HAS to steal whatever the girls are playing with and he still loves to sit in the swing and bouncy seats! Poor Kaden...I hate public restrooms too and avoid them at all costs!!! Paycen is just getting bigger every day. He is so cute and he will LOVE having a big brother. It makes you wonder what your first born ever did without someone to entertain them! :)

Totally understand the whole public restroom thing. Morgan was terrified at first, but now she waves at the sensor and giggles when it splashes in her face. Disgusting!

Your family is so cute. I'm sorry about your cat, Daisy. We use to have a ton of cats and I'm afraid we had too many of those experiences.
