Peyton is FOUR going on 14!

Little miss princess Peyton turned 4 on November 10!  She's a bit of a diva lately and I think she's got a little bit of everything in her personality.  She can be sweet and sensitive, very emotional but also strong willed and tough.  She recently started her 1st year of pre-school at the Waukee YMCA program.  She's in the 3 yr old class (just missed the cut-off) and goes 2 days a week.  She loves it!  Her teachers tell us she's doing great and well behaved for the most part. This is good news, because she can be a little naughty at home!  Not a big fan of discipline and makes it hard to do when she laughs at it.  I have to admit, she takes it much better coming from dad, but what can I say.... I'm a softy! When we ask her who her friends are at school she rattles off all the BOYS names first.....hmmm... a sign of what's to come?!  :)

Logan is ONE | Milestone Stats

Our little man is not so little anymore.  Logan Paul turned ONE in August.  Unfortunately, for his party, he was sick with his first ear infection in both ears.  Poor little guy didn't have too much fun, but we partied on anyway!

Here's a little update on his stats.
August 2013
ONE year check-up
Height: 30.8" (76%)
Weight: 21 lb, 3 oz (24%)
Head: 47.5 cm (78%)
Peyton at 1: 31" (95%), 21 lb (49%), 46cm (75%) --pretty much the same 

November 2013
15 month check-up
Height: 32" (75%)
Weight: 22 lb, 6 oz (21%)
Head: 47.8 cm (66%)

• Logan LOVE's to climb up the stairs. Hasn't mastered going down yet, but has attempted a couple times.  
• Starts to bop his head and pump his hands in the air when music is one.  He might be a little dancer like his sister.
• King of facial expressions.  He crinkles up his nose with every one.  He does an O the most. 
• Not saying a whole lot of words yet but like to say "Uh Oh!" a LOT!
• He's a bottleless pit!  This kid loves to eat.  I'm pretty sure he would just keep eating if we kept giving him food.  He likes just about everything except noodles, which is Peyton's favorite!  He loves toast and anything bread related. 
• Still not walking or standing alone......(peyton did at 13 months).  He walks with toys or with us holding on and around all the furniture but hasn't shown any interest in doing it unassisted yet.
