Whoa! Can time just stop flying by PLEASE!?!? Last night, after we put Peyton down, we were talking about how we can't believe she is almost one! The last few months have been such a blur because she is learning so much and the older she gets, the faster it goes...now we know why our parents say that. She brings so much joy, love, and laughter to our lives and we are so grateful for such a perfectly healthy and happy baby. She still loves playing peek-a-boo and it never gets old! She also picked up a pretty good habit...she tries to get dressed herself! One day she crawled into her room and when I went to check on her, she had pulled a pair of shorts out of her laundry basket and was trying to put them on! It was so cute! She just doesn't understand though that she can't wear everything. She'll try to put anything on her feet... wipes, shirts, hair ties, and whatever else! She gets into anything she can and is OBSESSED with everything on her changing table...especially the lotions and powders. She just likes to carry around the bottles. Kenny is hoping she will get bored with his dvds soon, but I really don't think that's gonna happen anytime soon! He tells her no and smacks her hand (don't worry, not that hard!) but she must relate the word "no" with the action of laughing hysterically because that's exactly what she does! It is actually pretty funny! We try not to let her see us laugh when she does it though. She loves to share her snacks with me and the dogs have quickly learned that when she is in her walker and they follow her, she will share with them too!What a little cheeseball!Mmmm, I like that chocolate stuff! I was sharing my chocolate ice cream with her!About to get into stuff that I shouldn't! Playing with the puzzles that Paige gave her. Until something caught her eye...my cranberry slush! She likes those! She LOVES dogs! She cracks up when they run around!
She loves to share! Saturday we were at Kenny's parents' and while I was in the pool, Theresa was giving her snacks and when Peyton saw me, she put her hand out to share some...even though I was all the way across the pool! It was so sweet:) Here she was sharing with me and Kenny! Pop-Pop always makes me some delicious sweet potatoes when he grills! Me and Paige swimming in our cool pool! The big pool kinda freaked her out! She was okay after a couple minutes though.She tries to put everything on her feet!Everytime we say, "where's the baby?" she puts her arms up and thinks she is hiding. Then she will sit really still and move her arms out after a few seconds then laughs and gets so excited when we say, "there she is!"

I just love reading your posts Kara. Peyton is so stinkin' adorable! The feet thing, peek-a-boo thing and the sharing thing are classic. Kendyl thinks our dog is hilarious too. It is so much fun to watch them grow and explore! Keep up the posts and good luck with her getting into everything. I am feeling your pain :)
