WHAT a WEEK!!

Its been a long week! Too much is going on I'm in need of a break!

Work was for the most part was quiet for me only working on Thursday and Friday in the schools. This coming week is busier which is good.

Payten turned 10 months old on Friday! Still our little peanut. Last week I took her in to the doctor hoping they would tell me I was just being over protective and her fever was from her tooth. But that's not what we heard -- she had a double ear infection. An ear infection never crossed my mind, Cody had one and when he was 5 or 6, never as an infant.

Yes they are both eating suckers.

10 month picture - and yes she is not a fan of just sitting in here seat!

New 9 month pictures!

Here are just a few of the wonderful pictures we had taken a week ago! Look how big our little girl is getting. Thanks mom and dad for the wonderful backgrounds to take our pictures against:) We have some other photo's to add from the last month too, keep checking back hopefully soon I will have my own snapshots to add soon.

Payten is 9 months

This past week we celebrate Payten's 9 month birthday.


Well where does she stack up against other 9 month little girls:


Weight 14 lbs 7 oz on the 1st percentile
Height 27 1/4 inches on the 47th percentile


So its official we have a little peanut on our hands!


Now you might be asking does she eat -- all the time! She eats whatever you put in front of her.


She has been crawling for 2 months now and is about to take a few steps, she pulls herself up and walks around tables, toys and anything

Were still here!!

So sorry for the lack in up dates this past month! We are still here and will update with lots of great info this week I promise.

SEPT 7th

Ok so here I go with a major catch up since its been forever and a few family members (no names will be mentioned) have reminded me I'm behind.

CODY

Starts 4th grade tomorrow! We have new shoes (that he loves) and a shirt for the 1st day of school. Hockey sign up is Friday and fall hockey will start next weekend (Sept 19th). Other then those milestones not much is going on with him. Besides all the games that him and Princess P play.

DAD

Busy with work. He just got home on Sunday evening from his weekend with the boys golfing. Sounds like they had lots of fun 45 holes on Friday -- I think they are crazy for playing that many holes in one day.

MOM
Will start work tomorrow! This year I have decided that I would let my Para Professional job go and Substitute teach this year. I was fortunate to receive a long term position at Monroe in the Kindergarten till Oct 9th. Then we will see where I go from there.

PAYTEN
I know you are waiting for an update from our Princess.

As my last stated she is on the move, well she is getting very adventures. Pulling herself up on anything that is the right height. Getting into everything and even climbing on things. Silly girl:) Dad got home and started calling her peg leg cause she is pushing as she crawls with her right foot.

Talking well in her own language of course. At night she tends to talk even more like she is telling everyone about her day. And she is so loud when she talks.

Food need I say more she loves food. We went to the state fair and she was going nuts when the 2 of us were sharing a chocolate malt she couldn't get enough. This lady came over to me and asked how old is your little girl my mother and I are trying to figure it out. I'm sure she couldn't believe I was feeding her ice cream. Her favorite treat right now is a freezes her dad and brother can't get away without sharing if she is up. She will eat anything we give her. And loves drinking from her sippy cup.

Daycare we start tomorrow. Dad will drop her off in the morning and I will pick her up. I'm sure it will go great. But I'm a bit nervous when it comes to eating, since she hasn't really had baby food from a jar. Don't worry I packed her some from home just in case she needs it!

Pictures are next!!!

Look what I can do now!

Helping Mom out with the folding.

On the bus to the State Fair - we look like we are tried and our day has just started.

Riding my Dad's dog.

Watch Out World Here I Come!!!

Yes Payten is on the move! Today she is 7 months and started crawling. We all new it was coming she has been moving all around the room but today she was showing off for Daddy when Cody and Mom were gone! I'll post pictures in the morning before we leave for our Friday wedding.

Is it really August!!!

Were does the time go -- I know I ask that question all the time but seriously it August. Our summer has been slipping right through our hands. Days are getting shorter, can't say its getting colder (its been a weird summer for weather), and its time to start thinking about shopping for Back to School.

Three weeks until Cody goes back to school, Payten will start daycare, and Mom starts subsitute teaching.
