These Days Peyton...

These days the little man is sure a MAN! He is not a baby any more! Hands down 18 months until the current 20 months of age have been my favorite age to mother a child. He is so FUN!!! Even on the rough days I can name a dozen cute things he has done (regardless of him being a total tyrant from time to time). Here is a list of things Peyton LOVES right now: 1. Peyton Loves the Church Nursery : He is always the first kid into the nursery and the last to leave! He LOVES snack time, play time, singing time...ALL of it. Not to be the 'bragging' mom but I get told he is just the easiest/ greatest kid for the whole two hours. Sigh! Proud mom moment. 2. Peyton loves to RUN! He doesn't believe in walking! I power walk to keep up with him! 3. Peyton loves to 'empty' the dishwasher. I can only keep plastic dishes in the dishwasher at all times...it only took two broken glasses to put this plastic only rule into place. 4. Peyton doesn't have a a special blanket or a special stuffed animal like some kids. Peyton has a 'special' book. He loves going to bed with his book and he carries it around and 'reads' it all day long. It is the cutest thing I've ever seen. 5. Peyton LOVES to build 'sculptures'. Basically he takes everything out of the dishwasher and strategically places it on the tv stand. He thinks he is SO funny/ creative when he does this. 6. Peyton loves to do mommy assisted summersaults. 7. Peyton loves to 'play' video games with dad with his very own (unplugged) x-box controller. This kid is just the cutest.

Halloween!

First Halloween and Second Halloween!

Baby Dragon! Watch out he may or may not blow fire and smoke at yah!

Oh my how that little guy has grown! Like a (cute) weed.

Photography Play Time Sneak Peak

Could these be any more G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S? And these aren't even the real deal by the photographer (Nadia from Soulfire Studios) they were just snap shots by my makeup artist. Can't wait to post the final product!!!

Has anyone EVER seen me with my hair down?

I don't even recognize myself!

Cookies, Cupcakes, and Sprinkles Oh my!!!

Is it just me? Or do mom's spend a lot of time in the kitchen?

Twins?!?

Peyton and I both at six months! I guess he is officially my kid!

Nap Time

This kid is a party animal all morning long...until he snuggles up, cuddles mom and passes out. Love him.

Really?

Who knew this little guy....

Would turn into this crazy turkey?

We Party Rock...

Enough said. This kid is a party animal.

Rad Vacations 2013

Aaron is boss. He works his tail off. And thus, I, the cute wife...reap all the benefits. Before he started his residency to specialize the office he was practicing at sent him to Cabo San Lucas as a reward for his hard work. Lucky for me I got to be his plus one. Peyton was well looked after by Grandma and Grandpa (and an Uncle) Radmall while we lived it up in Mexico. Our next vacation was to Naples, Florida. This time the little guy tagged along with us. Aaron's sister was graduating (yahoo!) from CRNA school so we had a blast celebrating and spending lots of time at the beach (naturally). Peyton and Aaron even got to hold an alligator! We are so lucky to have such great excursions!

Peyton's First Birthday

The little man is now a one year old! That kid is just the cutest bundle of energy and joy. I'm sure lucky to be his mom. Love the decorations I made! Gotta love pinterest for some inspiration.

Cutest Family

I just adore my family. I am so blessed to have these boys in my life.

Radmall Update!

Wow! A ton has happened with our family since the last time I was on here! Peyton is just a few days shy of turning one. That was a FAST year! Oh by the way we moved!!! H-E-L-L-O Lucky Kentucky! Aaron started his periodontic residency last week and if I do say so myself he is one cute resident! So proud of him! Peyton gets more and more adorable everyday. Right now his favorite thing to do is give kisses and MOVE A-L-L D-A-Y long. His least favorite thing to do is go into his room because he thinks if he goes in there it is bedtime. Ha! His favorite food is eggs. He also loves guacamole and greek yogurt. Peyton is the FASTEST crawler the world has probably ever seen. The other day Aaron and I took him to the Churchill Downs horse races and as fast as those horses were...Peyton could have probably beat them with his speed. Walking is not something he seems interested in, but why would he be when he is such a master crawler? He loves to have mom and dad read stories to him. The only time he sits still is for story time. He also likes to flip through books and babble as if he is reading to me. He loves his baby sign language and Baby Einstein movies. He saw fireworks for the first time last night and again today for the Fourth of July. He initially squeezed me really tight when he heard the loud booms but once he realized he was safe he relaxed and stared in awe of the beautiful show.

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!
