Ryans New Toy

Ryan got a new gun that can shoot lead bullets so he decided to cast his own. Here is a picture of some of the ingots he made from wheel weights. The electric furnace he used to melt the wheel weights made everything smell and smoke really bad so he can only do a couple at a time.

IT WORKED!!!

New potty and Hair cut.

For the past week, every time we put Braxton down for a nap he takes off his pants and diaper and poops on the floor. I have no idea what to do about it. I decided maybe he was ready to start potty training. So yesterday we went to walmart and bought him a potty. He hasn't stopped talking about his potty since we bought it so hopefully that is a good sign. I know that it will probably take a long time to potty train him. Especially since he is so stubborn.



We tried it out this morning but he wouldn't let me take his diaper off.



Today we took Braxton to Cookie Cutters for a hair cut. We usually have Ashley cut his hair but I wanted to try this place out. I was worried because cutting Braxtons hair is never an easy task but he did great. They let you choose a movie and a car to sit in. They also had bubbles at the station he was at. He loved it. He had a big smile on his face the whole time. I will definitely be taking Braxton back there in the future.

PCOS

Ryan and I have been trying to get pregnant for a little while now and it hasnt been working. I haven't had a period in over a year so I wasn't ovulating. I recently went to the doctor and found out I have PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome) I don't know exactly what it means but the symptoms are: weight gain,abnormal periods, infertility, and testosterone. I was so happy they had finally figured out what was wrong with me. I have always had these symptoms and no doctor ever would take the time to figure it out. So Dr. Jones gave me some metformin (Its a diabetic medicine but don't worry I don't have diabetes), a pill to help me start my period, and a pill to help me ovulate. After I start my period I take the pill to help me ovulate and then on the 21st day of my cycle I go get my blood drawn to make sure I ovulated. So we are hoping that within a couple months we will be pregnant. Wish us luck!

vinyl fun

For Christmas my mom, Ashley, and I got a cricut. I have been wanting to put vinyl up but wanted to wait until we moved. Last week we were finally able to move into a cute little apartment. Once we were settled in I got started putting up vinyl.

This is in Braxton's room

This is in the laundry room.
I still need to put something in my living room and bedroom but I can't think of anything cute. If you have any ideas please leave me a comment :)
On a different note, Braxton learned what a bird says and I thought it was really cute!

Happy Birthday Braxton!

We celebrated Braxtons birthday all week long. We went to Chuck E Cheese with Ryans family. Poor Ryan slaved all day to make a cake for Braxton. It was gonna be so cute. When we were in the parking lot I dropped the cake. I was so sad. Braxton had been wanting the cake all day and was so excited that he would get to eat it soon. I felt like a horrible mother! Once we were inside and he saw all the kids playing I don't think he even thought about the cake.

So we ate pizza, played games, and then it was time to open presents. Emily and Scott gave him Mr.Potato Head and he loves it. Scott and Heidi gave him an alien action figure that reminds Ryan of Emperor Zurg from Toy Story. Grandma and Grandpa Walker gave Braxton a Smart Cycle and games to go with it.

He cant figure out how to peddle yet but I am sure the more he pratices the more he will get it.

We decorated the house for his birthday. He loved all the balloons and streamers. That only held his attention for one second and then he saw his basketball hoop and he hasn't stopped playing with it since.

We had a dinner for my side of the family. I made the mistake of having cake before presents. All he wanted to do was play with the figurines that were on his cake.


He got a lot of great presents from my family including this table from my mom. Braxton loves this table. We dont let him eat on it yet because he likes to throw his food all over the living room.

This is a picture of Braxton with his first $50. Grandpa and Grandma Little sent it to him. We had a fun week with Braxton and I cant believe my baby is already 2.

I NEED MEDICATION

Ryan has been out of his depression medication since friday. This video basically describes how he has been acting.
