What I L.O.V.E About Peyton...

I love Peyton so much I could explode with love glitter...seriously. This little dinosaur (and my handsome/perfect husband) has stolen my heart. I can't believe I am lucky enough to be his mother. Peyton is all smiles. It's still mostly a toothless smile except for half of a tiny tooth on the bottom. Peyton loves to wiggle and he loves to laugh. His smiles and giggles light up any room and have brightened my life in a way I didn't imagine possible. Our little man is almost crawling, but mostly likes to be on his hands and knees and rock back and forth. He gets flustered when he can't get to things he see's and wants. He has a strong spirit in a little body. I think sometimes he gets frusterated with his limitations. But each and every day he grows stronger, more coordinated, and of course even more adorable than the day before. Time moves so quickly. I have been proud of myself for savoring and loving every second of each day I spend with him. He is so quickly growing from a little baby into a little man. Peyton loves to babble. He loves to have 'conversations' with mom and dad. We babble back and forth and make each other laugh so much. His favorite toys are not in fact the expensive toys we buy him (though he loves his Tickle Me Elmo) but spoons, napkins, paper plates, straws, and plastic cups. Maybe when he is a teenager he wont want a fancy car but a bike?!? Ha! Wishful thinking I'm sure. Peyton loves to suck his thumb and cuddle before he takes a nap but loves to babble himself to sleep and play in his crib before he falls asleep at night. Nothing could possibly be cuter than his coo-ing in the morning to call for mom to pull him out of the crib. He kicks with excitement and smiles so big when I pull him out of the crib, this is always the greatest start to our day. We are so blessed as a family. The love Aaron, Peyton, and I have for each other is indescribable. Every day is a wonderful gift and I'm so thankful for our eternal love.

Family Update

This week was super fun! Peyton got to come dance with mom while she taught ballet class. Aaron took Peyton and I on a golf and lunch date. We had a blast and are just loving our time as a sweet little family. Peyton also decided to grow out of his swing, car seat, bath tub, and most of his clothes this week. He also figured out how to get up to his hands and knees and broke a tooth. Wow! This little dinosaur is sure turning into a big boy! Our little guy is FULL of personality and is so much fun! I cannot believe I am so lucky to be his mom!
