About time for an update!

Okay, every 6 months or so I get some new pictures up! These were all taken this month. Renee just loves Peyton's little camo pants! Peyton LOVES the water and being in the pool. Renee or I throw her up and down and spin her around while she laughs and laughs. It's a workout for us!
Cuddle with mommy . . . .
She loves the pool so much that she went in the backyard and said she wanted to go in the pool, so Renee reached inside to get her bathing suit and when she turned around, Peyton was already standing in it, clothes, shoes, diaper, and all! So I grabbed the camera, by which time she was nearly completely immersed. Peyton just kept saying "swim!" "Swim!'
Kid really loves water, even if it's just playing with the hose. This is a spraying elmo attachment that gets everybody soaking wet!

Cutie!
Lounging with daddy.
Loves hats, even daddy's.

Love those pigtails, when we have he patience to do it!

That's enough for now, but will try to keep updating . . . . have I said that before? :)

Back in the Bouncer

I saw that the Heldt's computer was down, so thought I would sneak up a post (since you guys are the only ones that read this!). We pulled the bouncer out again, and between that and her new Sand and Water table, the backyard is now on Peyton's top places to play list!

She is getting so big, I don't know what happened to the baby!

Hair Drama So Soon!

Renee and I have been on the inept side about doing things with Peyton's hair, since she sits still for about 4 seconds usually. Last week, she came home from "school" with her hair put up in a Pebbles ponytail at the top of her head - looked adorable. Evidently she sat for them! In the bathtub that night, the ponytail came out, but her hair didn't quite go back to normal! It did turn into one of my favorite pictures , though!

Back Again

Better to come back after 6 months or not at all? I don't think that's the expression .. . .but anyway!

I was right in the first post - didn't keep it up. Now I know we won't create the digital autobiography that the Heldt's do, but I think I can throw a picture up once a week with a few
sentences . . . .seems easy enough, right?

So Peyton was 9 months old when we got her bouncer in the first post, since then she has learned to walk, run, and chat away. We are amazed at the words coming out of that mouth already, of course it is her 15 month birthday today :)

Here are a couple of pictures taken with our new SLR camera . . . I have a new hobby - photography! Good thing I have such a great subject! I am taking a "correspondence" class with the New York Institute of Photography, and am really enjoying getting into all the details of taking a great picture. Who know that aperture and shutter speed could be interesting :)
Look forward to keeping this updated!
