I Love her

It has been a while since I have posted anything on my blog. To be honest I have a hard time thinking of things to post, I am not that great at writing. However the other night I started to "sleep train" Peyton. I thought it was going to be really hard, I thought Peyton would have such a hard time with it because she loved cuddling with her Mom so much. Truth, she has not really had that much trouble. The first night I layed her down and she cried for about 10 minutes and was out, which should have made me super happy, but instead I found myself folding clothes crying. It just made me realize that she is growing up so fast! Later that night when she woke up again I could not finish the sleep training I had to hold her on my chest and just rock her. As I was snuggling her and breathing in that sweet baby smell, I just kept thinking I don't ever want to forget these moments, I can't wait until Peyton gets older and I can tell her "When you were a baby I used to just love when you would...." So I thought I could use my blog as a way to capture the many moments that melt my heart! So here is my first moment.

I LOVE.... it when Peyton is falling asleep on my chest and she reaches her little are out and her little hands play with my hair until she fall asleep.

P.S. Aunt Camille I am sure I am being one of those Moms you can't stand but she is my first baby. And come on look at those little cheeks how could I not be one of those Moms'

Our First Family Christmas

I am sorry that this post has taken so long to get out, I have tried several times to post it but could not get the picture to upload the way that I wanted them to. I finally decided to post the pictures first and then tell you how we spent our Christmas this year. We spent our Christmas Eve doing some shopping, both John and I had gifts that we wanted to get each other but we wanted to pick them out with each other. After we were done shopping I had to hurry back so I could finish John's list of Christmas snacks he wanted to me to make, and he and Peyton could get some much needed Daddy/Daughter time. The next morning we woke up to find all the gifts Santa brought for Peyton, some of her bigger presents were already set up the other we took over to Billy and Nancy's house to open together. I would list all of the gifts that our little one got but it might crash the entire site so here is a list of a couple gifts Pey Pey got: Bumbo (a little chair that helps her sit), a swing, a jenny jump up, an activity jumping center, and a tummy time play gym (her favorite). We can not wait until next year when she can actually open her gifts by herself!!!

1st Visit to Santa

Last Thursday Peyton's Aunt Em had a performance at our local mall. Since her Daddy was home, we also decided we would take this oppurtunity for Peyton's 1st visit with Santa! So she got all dressed up for the festivites in her "I love Santa Shirt" and her Holiday bow. Peyton was so excited to see her Aunt Em and listen to her performance, that by the time we got to Santa all she could muster was a cute little pose which completely won Santa over (seriously how could it not). So we can gladly say that we are 100% positive she will get everything on her tiny little wish list.

Our Happy Little Girl

Bottle Time

Just like her dad Peyton Loves to eat so much that she can't consume her intense feelings during her feedings. She squeezes her hands and clenches into a fist trying to will the food to come faster. Its so cute!
