Fun weekend

So we had a great weekend with our friends Jake and Morgan. They were in town with Jakes family and took time to spend a few days with us. We love to see good friends. But it is sad because it reminds us how much we miss them and how far apart we are.
I also put some new pictures of Peyton up. She is a little undecided about bath time but the girls sure like to help. I know they all look a little unkept but our mornings are a little crazy these days!

What we have been up to

Ben and the girls have been using their muscles and working hard to put some new bark in our beds in the front and back yard. It looks so nice. I did not get a final picture but we will have one soon! Addies new favorite thing to do is wear Peytons hat from the hospital.

Growing like a weed

Peyton had her 2 week appointment. She was really 19 days old so almost 3 weeks. She is growing like a weed and already seems so much bigger to me.
Weight 8 lbs 10 ounces 55th percentile

This picture is of her favorite way to sleep - with her arm under her head!

Changes

So Ben and I are crazy and our usual indecisive selves. We were having a hard time calling the baby Taylor. It was a name we both liked but were not exactly convinced of but because we could not agree on another name we named her Taylor. We came home and no one could call her Taylor sowe changed her name. We agreed upon Peyton Smith. Even Ben who had not been a big fan was calling her Peyton. It seemed to fit. So I guess we will reannounceour baby girl as Peyton Smith. She is doing great and we are settling into home well. These are a few new pictures. She is looking more and more like Miley did but with Addies mouth and chin. She is adorable and we are enjoying loving on her!

Announcing Taylor (aka peanut) Smith

She is here! She was born July 31st at 7:56pm. She weighed 7 lbs 3 ounces (exactly the same weight as Miley and Addison) and was 20 inches long. She has lots of hair. I had a great delivery. I only pushed for 3 minutes and she was here! I will post pictures now and writing later! We are grateful she is here safely and we are all doing well!
