2nd birthday continued

Peyton had a great day today. She woke up to mommy and daddy singing happy birthday to her, had her favorite breakfast of pancakes and bananas, at school we had a party and she got to have "cakecups" with her friends, then she and mommy went to the park and played before meeting some friends at the mexican restaurant for dinner. Here are some photos.

Happy 2nd Birthday Peyton!

We went to Harry Bissett's to see the Splitz last night and Peyton had a blast dancing with Daddy and some new friends.

Up pants!

Peyton is very, very independent and now she has to put her own jammies on.

A fun winter

We have had a great winter! Here are just a few pictures of some of the fun we have had!

Athens' Christmas Parade

The rain came and went just in time for the annual Christmas Parade. We had our float in it but we opted to not ride this year and watch the parade instead. We met up with a bunch of friends including Peyton's boyfriend Owen. There were marching bands, an elementary step group, a live rock and roll band (on our float), dogs, candy, and of course Santa. We had a great time!

Santa!!!

We went to Dawsonville today to see Santa with Lily and it was so much fun. Peyton was so excited, she played peek-a-boo with Santa before we even got in line. Here are some pictures!

Hotel Hallway

We were in Statesboro last weekend and stayed at a new hotel. Peyton and Ian enjoyed running down the hallway.

Peyton's new friend Lizzie

Our friends Ally and Stephen had their sweet baby girl a few weeks ago and Peyton got to meet her for the first time last night. She was excited to see the "beeby". This picture looks sweet and innocent but this is right before an earthquake shook Lizzie's world. I think that Peyton wanted her to wake up and play because she took a hold of the sides of that bouncy seat and shook it. Lizzie didn't budge but we did quickly move Peyton away from the "beeby". From that point on she admired her from afar.

Homecoming

This weekend was UGA's Homecoming and at Peyton's school they dress up for such occassions!

End of Summer

We have had a very busy summer overall. Peyton has grown so much and changed tremendously. She is very independent and loves to climb up on anything and everything. She is talking non-stop, of course, we can only understand some words but she really has a lot to say. She entertains us constantly, singing, dancing, talking, playing with Oliver, playing with her toys, etc.

She figured out that she can get behind the blinds and thinks it is really funny!

A yummy breakfast of bananas and milk before school. But I really wish Daddy would just let me eat and watch Curious George and stop taking my picture.

Go dawgs! (this is one of the first pictures that I can really see baby Anita in her!)

Wow, that lemon is sour!!!! (but she continued to eat it until it was all gone)

Bubbles

Summer Fun

I know it has been a long time since we have posted pictures of Miss Peyton Louise so now I am going overload you with a lot of shots from the summer, including her birthday, playing with friends, bath time, dress up, etc.

Yeah, Birthday cake! It was so good and she was so much fun to watch. She looked at it for a while and dipped one finger and then it was two hands and finally she figured out that she could put her whole face in it. First birthdays are so much fun!

Peyton and Ian

Ian is staying with us for a few nights and they were really cute in the bath tub tonight so I wanted you all to see it.

1 year olds like Flagpole too

Peyton really enjoyed this week's issue of Flagpole!

Peyton's first raspberry

Since Peyton started walking she is almost always on the go, this morning was no exception. She likes to walk to the car in the morning when we leave for school, this morning she walked a little further then normal and got going a little too fast on the small incline and fell on her face. Here are some pictures of our little prize fighter!

Laid Back!

My brother was able to get a hold of a couple of my things from when I was a baby and this rocking chair was one of them. Peyton has figured out how to climb in and turn around and rock and she loves it. I tried to get some video but she stops rocking when I turn it on so these stills will have to do. The last one is really cute!
