The Tooth Fairy Visits!
Peighton lost her first tooth this week!!!! Cannot believe my little girl is grown up enough to be loosing teeth!! I remember her cutting her baby teeth :( She lost one of her middle bottom teeth on Monday. It had been loose for some time and her permanent tooth is already coming in so the baby tooth needed to go. I think P was happy to have it out because it was bugging her a little bit. The tooth fairy visited her that night and then wouldn't you know it yesterday she lost the other middle bottom tooth. So needless to say, the tooth fairy had a busy week at our house! ;)

Scott Update: 18 months
Wow is this late! He turns 20 months on the 22 of this month :/ Oops, mom fail! Better late than never :) He technically didn't have his 18 month check up till he was 19 months. I may have forgotten to schedule his appointment. And lucky for us the PEDS office was able to get us an appointment before we left town... the actual week to be exact! But never the less, it went well and he is continuing to grow and thrive right on track. Here are some updated stats on the little guy!
Weight: 28 pounds
Height: 33.5 inches
Head: 19 inches
He was in the 75% for his height and weight and between the 50/75% for his head size. Thankfully, Scott did not have to get any shots! It made both him and I happy. We will not have to return to the doctor for a couple of months. We will be back in December for his 2 year check. On a side note, how is it that my last baby turns 2 in a few months!!! Time really is flying these days!! It makes me want to roll him up and stick him in my pocket :)
Here are some other stats on his growth and development!
Size Diaper: 4 (still.. I feel we will be here for awhile.)
Shirt Size: 18-24 months and 24 months some size 2T especially if it was Henry's.
Pant Size: 18 months, 18-24 months and some 24 months.
Shoe Size: 7 (let me tell you his feet are just a growing!)
Sleep pattern: a 2 hour nap after lunch and around 11-12 hours at night
Eating/Drinking: the boy loves to eat and he loves to drink! He typically always has a cup with him and loves to have a snack. He is still a good eater and isn't too picky yet. He recently fell in love with guacamole :)
Words: his vocabulary is growing!! He says about two dozen words now. He is working on his manners and says please as well as thank you. He loves to say drink and snack, ha!
Behavior: he is getting into the terrible two's mode and definitely has some moments. but for the most part he is still our mild mannered, laid back little boy!
Activities: he loves LOVES to play at a park or the playground. he honestly loves being outside. he is getting into some toys. he likes cars and trucks like his brother. he also is a fan of books like his sister. he still loves to play with things he can push i.e. shopping cart, toy lawn mover and the baby doll stroller.

Long Overdue Update
Well folks we made it!!! Our PCS is complete and it has been a whirlwind these last few weeks!! The last week in Clarksville was a great one! We soaked in lots of time with our good friends and spent lots of time getting the house ready for movers and new tenants. The moving process was a bit of a headache and we got behind schedule on our departure day. However, the nine days of travel went very well considering we were a family of five with a dog. Of course there were some meltdowns along the way and some minor mishaps but we were very lucky with our successful journey! Our stops along the way were a good break and we all slept well in the camper. Our days at the Grand Canyon were amazing. The weather was perfect and the scenery was beautiful. The kids did really well and were troopers with all of the walking. We walked several miles every day but the views on the trails were worth it! :)
We arrived in Sierra Vista on Saturday evening. Those two nights in a hotel were very welcomed. I was able to catch up on laundry and reorganize all our stuff. Monday morning we signed for our house and ran errands on Post. Our house on Post is very big and we are thankful to have so much room including 4 bedrooms but its a very old house with not much in the terms of updating. Trying to look on positive side and also remember its less than a year!! Another bonus is the neighborhood park is right behind our house :) We received our household goods on Wednesday which was a daunting process and left me feeling overwhelmed! We worked our tail feathers off most of the day and into the late evening getting everything in its place and organized and beds made.
Peighton started 1st grade on Thursday!! Her school is very nice and is only K-2nd. I was able to walk her to her classroom and meet her teacher and the teacher's aide. P had a good day on Thursday and Friday. Thursday we also had our cable and internet installed. I'll have to admit after not having cable for almost 2 years it is nice to have it again ;) Our new washer and dryer were delivered Friday morning. It was a happy morning!! After two weeks of doing laundry in hotels or at a campground, I was too ecstatic to have my own set right within my house!
The rest of the week and weekend we spent relaxing, organizing, decorating, making trips to the storage unit, making trips to Target, and making the house feel like home!!
