Happy Birthday Peyton

April/May 2008

April 2010

2 years ago on April 18th we welcomed our sweet little Peyton. The funny thing is this year you've totally become crazy Peyton. You've grown so much this year. You've finally started talking in a way that we can understand. Let me tell you some of the fun things you say: I think our favorite is to hear you say Frosty, you actually say Saucy. It's really cute. You're loving to play with Bahbee (Barbie). Cameron & Taylor both go by Tay-yer and are happy that you're talking to them. They both love to play with you! Taylor loves to help you with everything and Cameron loves to make you laugh. You will watch some shows now but we are happy to say that you've followed in your sisters footsteps and you love Dora (Dordah). You can say some things really well, like mommy, daddy, night-night, bye, Cici, Papa, Nannie, eat and I'm sure there are more. Some other funny things you say are bah (like breakfast bar), mook (milk), ah-men (amen), doo-doo (Zhu-Zhu) as in Zhu-Zhu pets. You still lean on your signing for several words. You sign eat, more, please, thank you, sorry, read, amen, and milk.

You learned to walk shortly after turning 1. Now you're running, climbing and jumping. You love to climb. You climb up on top of tables often. During the 2009 summer we spent a lot of time in the water and you loved every bit of it. You even went tubing with mommy!! When fall came around we started our 2nd year at Sonshine academy. You're in the gorillas class. The class is mostly boys and you play just like a little boy. You're rough and crazy!!! November was a crazy month for you b/c you were in your first car accident when we were rear-ended on our way home from school. It scared you a lot! Then a few days later you fell off of a kitchen chair and had a head injury. You passed out for a few seconds and couldn't stay awake. It scared mommy & Papa and I rushed you to the ER. You threw up a few times, but everything looked good on your CT scan. When December came around you got to see Santa and you didn't want anything to do with him. You waved your hands at him and said uh-uh. As the Christmas season went on you began to really like the idea of Ho-Ho!! As 2010 started we were excited to see your vocabulary begin to grow. You also got to go visit your big sister Taylor at the hospital several times. You loved going for walks around the hallways of the hospital. You are very independent and I always joke that you pretty much think you're 5. It is funny to sit back and watch you. You also love to dance and begin to sway/bop whenever you here music. We are so blessed to have you in our lives and cant' wait to see what this 3rd year with you in our lives brings us.
