Peyton just might be a piano player one day!

First Food

Peyton had rice cereal for the first time last night!

Bat Girl

Peyton celebrated her first Halloween yesterday. She wore her costume to school, they had a parade for the big kids but not the babies. After school we went over to the Montgomery's for pizza and pictures. She really enjoyed her first Halloween and is already trying to decide what she should be next year!!

Sleepover

Aunt Evie and Lily spent a couple of nights with us this week and Lily and Peyton had a great time together. Lily slept on a pallet in Peyton's room. Peyton helped wake Lily up in the morning and they took a bath together. This was Peyton's first "big" bath and she did a great job!

Rock star starts school early!

Daddy brought Peyton to school today. She wore her sunglasses and looked like a little rock star! The kids and teachers at Trinity all commented on her outfit and glasses upon her arrival this morning. Daddy let them all catch a glimpse and then whisked her off to band practice (I mean her classroom). He's already started grooming her for rock stardom.

my hat's like daddy's hat

Aunt Evie got this hat for Peyton before she was even born because she thought it looked like daddy's hat. It is still a little big but we played dress up the other night. She looks so cute but boy is daddy goofy looking!

First Day of School

Peyton started "school" this week. So far so good! She's adjusting very well and is generally a happy baby according to the teachers at Trinity.

4 months old

Peyton is 4 months old! We went for her check-up this morning and she weighed in at 15lbs 10oz (90th percentile) and she is 26 1/2 inches long (97th percentile)!!!

Tummy Time

Supermodel Peyton

We did a photo shoot at 3 months and these are some of the shots. They are amazing! Our friend Shannah with zoom works is the master photographer. If you need pictures you really should use her!!! You will understand what I mean as you look at these pictures.

Labor Day Weekend

Peyton had a busy Labor Day weekend. We started out at the lake with Grammy and Poppy and then finished at Aunt Evie's house for a cookout and a little dress up. Here are some cute pics from our weekend.

hiccups and wife swap

Peyton gets the hiccups at least 3 times a day but thankfully they don't bother her. This particular night she had the hiccups while she was sitting on the couch watching wife swap.

Music Television

Peyton loves to watch tv but music tv is especially soothing when she is upset. Watch how she doesn't take her eyes off the tv. This is an old video at this point because I have been having a hard time loading. Enjoy!

bath time

Peyton loves bath time and we fight over who gets to take the bath with her!

Twins?

My friend Fran had her little girl, Ella, on June 12 and we cannot get over how similar Peyton and Ella are. This was their first meeting and Peyton has been talking about her BFF all night long!

Shake it!

Peyton figured out how to hold her rattle and she likes the way it sounds!

SWIMMING

PEYTON's FIRST SWIM

She wore an itsy-bitsy teeny-weeney flower-dotted one piece swimsuit for her first swim! She didn't know what to think as the shock of the cold pool water engulfed her tiny feet. Her eyebrows shot up and her body tensed as she entered the lakehouse pool for the first time in her life. Luckily, the baby float kept most of her upper body dry so that her bottom half could acclimate to this brand new sensation. To our delight she embraced this experience after only a brief minute of cautious infant curiosity! Once relaxed, T-daddy floated her around the pool, pretending that she was navigating her own waverunner. To our delight, Peyton enjoyed the water with wide-eyed excitement, and so, we now know that she's going to be a natural swimmer just like Mommy and Daddy. Cannonball!!

AthFest 2007

Peyton attended her first AthFest at the ripe old age of 3 weeks and 1 day! She was rocked to sleep while listening to the Whigs on the main stage Saturday night.

Bath Time

Peyton really enjoys bath time. She doesn't even mind the water in her face when we rinse her hair.

Father's Day

Daddy enjoyed his first Father's Day with his little girl.

Random Cute Pictures

I haven't posted much since we got home so I thought I would share a few of the really cute photos (they are all pretty cute but I tried to narrow it down). She is more alert every day and very content. I will try to keep up with this more often and also try not to overdo it but I can't promise anything!

Coming Home

We came home Sunday the 3rd. It was very exciting and we were also a little nervous.

Happy Grandparents

Poppy

Grammy

Papa Ed and Gramma Sue

All of her Grandparents were present for her debut. She is the first grandchild for Troy's parents and the seventh grandchild for my parents. Needless to say they are very excited.

The First Night

Peyton Louise joined us Friday, June 1 at 10:25pm. She weighed 7 lbs 12 oz and was 20" long. She came out with a head full of black hair and wide eyed and eager to see what this world has to offer.

The Nursery

We have finally completed the nursery and it looks better then I expected. At first we thought we would paint circles on the walls but then I found these amazing wall decals that are circles. This ended up saving us a lot of time and hassle. The decals are awesome as I can move them around all I want and when Peyton is big enough she can play with them as well. Everything followed the color scheme of the circles. The bright colors of the closet, bedding, boxes, etc. Our amazing friend, Chris, designed the closet and built it all himself. It gives us so much more room for all of her little clothes and little things. The glider and changing table were donated from her Aunt T and we painted these to match the black crib that Grammy and Poppy got for her. It took a few months to make it happen and of course I was concerned it wouldn't happen in time but as usual it all came together and there was no reason to worry! Thank you to everyone for your help. You know who you are (Chris, Mark, Troy & Jennifer)! Now we just have to wait a couple of weeks and we can bring her home to her new room!
