New Words, Slides, & Shoes!


We love seeing her personality evolve!  Right now, she’s obsessed with shoes.  She always has at least one shoe on, sometimes, two different shoes & usually they’re on the wrong feet. 

Peyton is really starting to talk a TON.  Her new favorite words are: “No,” “uummee” (which is corn) & Yes, Ayi.  We love hearing her speak in our native language.  She’s started to pick up these words just in the last few days! 

She really enjoys coloring.  We got new markers and she can't put them down!  We'll need to get some coloring books sent over bc we can't find any here!

Blue Armed Monster

For the last couple of weeks I've noticed that Tyler's arms were REALLY blue.  I had mentioned it a few times and thought nothing of it until yesterday when I looked at his arms and they looked like they were about to fall off bc they were so blue.  We contacted doctors immediately bc we were not sure what was going on. The Doctors wanted to see pictures ASAP and began going through his medical history.  In the meantime, we were talking to Tyler's parents to find out if they knew anything that would help us find out what was wrong.  Tyler's mom asked us if his arms could be blue bc of the navy sheets that are on our bed.  She said to get some finger nail polish and wipe it on his arms and see if it comes off.  And YES, it came right off!!  How crazy?!  Tyler's thinking he could have blood clots, blood flow issues, etc and it was dye from our sheets (that we have washed many times)!  Oh and how embarrassing was it to email the Doctors back and tell them it was blue dye?!
