11 months old



Wow, she's fast approaching that 1 year mark!

She is such a big girl! She is standing a ton, but not walking yet. She's seems pretty content to crawl, other then her knees being dirty a lot, it's ok with me. She is VERY proud when she's just standing up and hanging out. And she'll stand for a little while. She has taken 1 step on a few occasions, but always sets down after 1. So much for the early walker everyone predicted!


She has been such a perfect addition to our family, I really can't remember what it was like before we had her. She is a terribly happy, content kid. She really only cries when she's hungry, tired or you've taken something away that she wanted. She's pretty independent, and plays by herself quite well. But, she just lights up whenever any of us get down on the floor to play with her. Garrett is by far her favorite. Garrett & Matt went hunting this weekend and Payton crawled around saying, "eh", (that's how she says Garrett) and looking for him. She was very excited when she woke up Sunday and both Garrett and Daddy were back. Matt can make her laugh the hardest, and I'm the one she wants whenever she gets hurt or is tired.


She is a great sleeper, in bed by 7:30, sleeps about 12 hours, then takes two 2 hour naps a day. All I do is lay her down, turn on her little musical giraffe, give her a paci and she lays down. Every once in a while, if she's overtired, she'll cry for a bit. But, honestly, she couldn't be easier to put to bed. She's a good eater too, in fact, you have to be very careful with what you are eating, because she's going to want some and if you don't give it to her, she'll cry!

Here's to our little peanut, we love you Payton!
