Payten's First Birthday!

Payten had a very nice 1st Birthday. She loved being sang to (I think?). She LOVED eating her cake OF COURSE. She ate it all in a matter of a couple minutes. She had cake all the way up in her arm pits, it must have been REALLY good! She got a few things one was a dolly and a doll stroller. She liked pushing it around. She looks like such a big girl doing it.

Today she also had her Doctors appointment. All was well! She chunked up to 19lbs 1oz. the 20th% up from the 7th% last appt. (3mnths ago) She is 30" tall, still in the 75th for her height. I am so blessed to have a healthy Happy little girl. I love spending every minute of every day with her. She makes my life absolutely WONDERFUL! I truly have the best life!!

Talking on the phone

A few weeks ago I caught her acting like she was talking on the phone. I finally got a picture of it tonight. She was pretty excited that I did not snag my cell phone RIGHT away from her! It is funny that they learn these thing so early! This will be the last post before she turns 1! this is the eve of her birthday. I am filled with excitement and sadness too. I love that she is growing up, it is just a little too fast. I still miss that little newborn. But at the same time I love her walking around and acting all grown up!!

Visiting Great Grandpa

Today we visited Linus' grandpa, Payten's great grandpa that is 93, at Banner Baywood Hospital after he had his hip surgery. He fed Payten some Ice chips, she had lots of fun running the halls, then she gave him a nice kiss goodbye. She has so much fun walking, it is ALL she wants to do!!

For my memory

Just a little something for me to remember. Payten has been walking all over this past week. She loves it smiles and laughs all the time. She would rather walk from place to place in the house instead of crawling. We don't even ask her to, she does it all of the time on her own. She still falls and is kind of wobbly. But she loves it and is getting really good at it. She is sure growing up fast!!

SOY JOY!

I think I have told a few people about Payten and the Soy Joy commercials. When Payten was 6 or 7 months old and this commercial would come on she would push her bottle away and pop up and stare at the tv like she was mesmerized(if you know Payten you know that to refuse her bottle is very serious!) Well now when this commercial comes on she literally cannot control her body. She is so silly when it comes to dancing anyway, but this puts her over the top for some reason. In church yesterday she she started bobbing her head to the hymn music. Also when she hears music and really gets into it she start popping her lips like she is singing! It really is the cutest thing ever. I love that she cannot control herself, sometimes she dances when there is no music at all, I guess she hears it in her head!

DANCING PAYTEN

Payten has become quite the little dancer. Whenever she hears music her hips start moving. She hardly ever stands up and bounces, she always sways her hips. Sometimes she sways them so hard she almost falls over. I also caught her in the crawl position and she had to dance, that is a rarity, she is always standing. It is so cute that they naturally hear music and find the beat and dance!! Oh did you notice the music. One is rap the other is Barney. It does not matter she will dance to anything, even your singing. I LOVE IT!!!
