eight months!!

I am playing catch up... Sorry!!  

My sweet little Peyton is 8 months!!  She is becoming quite her own little being with her own personality.  I love everything about her.  Being able to be home with her all the time is the greatest blessing in the world.  I am beyond happy that I get to be there for everything.  She is continuing to get more beautiful with every day. I can't believe in 4 more short months we will celebrate her first birthday!

Here are a few fun facts followed by many more cute pictures!!

• She is 25ish" and between 15.8-16 lbs
• She is still wearing 6 month (some 3-6 month) clothes and size 2 diapers.  Love my petite princess1
• She is moving all over.  Although she can't exactly crawl yet, she sure tries.
• She loves bath time... We got her a seat for the regular bath tub and she loves to splish and splash!
• She loves to smile at everyone when we are out, she is quite the conversation starter.
• This past month she had her first Halloween, muffalate night (our family Veteran's Day tradition), and Thanksgiving!
• She is not the best sleeper... Takes a couple naps (not more than an hour usually) during the day and wakes up at night... If she only wakes up twice it is sooo nice!
• She absolutely loves her baby jumper/activity center.  I am fairly certain she will crawl for a very short time before she is walking everywhere.
• She is fascinated by and loves tags... Doesn't matter what you give her, she will find the tag and proceed to chomp away.  It is absolutely adorable.
• She can stand while holding onto the coffee table... Only for a few seconds, but this girl is a strong one.
• She is teething away... She chews on everything and anything.  I think the top 2 teeth will make their appearance verrryyy soon!!
• She is doing much better with food.  Her favorites are delicata squash and sweet potatoes.  
• She will drink out of a bottle!!  Only water... But, I am so glad she loves water, just like me :)
• She is loves to play, and would play alllll day if she could.  She does not like me being out of her sight.  (More coffee for me, please!)

 

halloween time

For Peyton's first Halloween, I took her trick or treating at Santana Row with my mom, Grandma, and aunt.  It was a lot of fun.  She took candy from the vendors and proceeded to "eat" it with the wrapper on.  So cute!  And since Paul always works, we went to visit him and trick or treated there so he could see the little Sweet Pea in her costume.  All in all it was a success and I am already looking forward to next year!
