He is doing so good with potty training! We are seeing more and more of his naked bottom running to the restroom and less and less accidents. Still working on the whole poopy thing. We're not very fond of it, I must admit.
In the past few weeks he has started breaking out randomly into song. He melts our hearts with lyrics like "I love the Lord, He heard my cry. He lifted me way up high and set my feet upon a mountain top. Just think of it, The Lord and King, The Creator of everything, loves me with a love that won't stop." Also "Jesus Loves Me" and other songs about our Lord.
Peyton is now 14 months old and so much fun!!! I wish I could freeze him right now and keep him in this stage forever! But the truth is he is growing more and more into a little boy everyday.
He is a chatter box. Most of what he says is not quite understandable but the rest are actual words! (His variations of words anyway) Here is some Peyton-ese and the english translations:
"Ho oo?" -Hello? "Pup pu"-Puppy
"Ba Pa" -Backpack
"May" -Oh man!
"Chis" -Cheese
"May me" -Macy
"Juisss" -Juice
"De da" -Deeda
"Ti ti" -Tristan
"Ge ge ge"-Get him,Get him
"Anaana" -Eliana
"Ge Dow" -Get down
"Naanaa" -Banana "Mow" -Mouth
"Tay tay"-KayKay "Baa Bow" -Bottle
"Ice" -Eyes "Baw" -Ball, Bear, Bird, Nose
He wants and tries to do everything his big brother does, he loves Tristan so much and watches his every move. They can be so sweet together giving each other hugs and kisses continually... until someone can't breathe!
He is still in love with his little giraffe (a security blanket we like to call his "Kryptonite") and more than just walking around with it, he prefers to sleep and snuggle with him. His other companion is his pacifier which he loves just as much as Tristan loved his.
As for the smallest of the Davis clan there's not too much to share. I am 12 weeks along this week, we've been to the Dr and everything looks great so far. We look forward to our next appointment when we'll get to hear the baby's heartbeat!
One thing I can tell you about this little pepper is that he/she is making this Mama very sick!! Since the 6th week it's been non-stop nausea. I am so thankful that I have not been vomiting along with it. I know it can't last forever and even if it does last the entire pregnancy it will be well worth it in the end!
"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so you also share in our comfort."
-2 Corinthians 1:3-7
Thank you Lord for loaning these beautiful babies to us. Give us love, wisdom and strength to complete this task of learning and in turn teaching what family should truly be.
I mentioned in my last post about being sick a lot with this pregnancy. And though I don't want to harp on it I want you to know I have been v.e.r.y sick. Like any time I'm not asleep... sick.
