The Holmes': Other stuff!

Once again sorry for the lack of posts! I need to blog more often because when I sit to post something I forget all the cute things she does. I started this one a while ago too and I am just now getting around to finishing it up! Peyton had her 15 month checkup about 2 weeks ago and weighed 26 pounds (not too much change from last time and I think it was somewhere around the 60th percentile) and she was 32" tall which I think was around the 75th percentile. She got a couple of shots and was crying before they even gave them to her. She hates that place! Our little girl brings so much love and laughter into our lives everyday! She loves to play "kitchen" with her new set she got for Christmas. She likes to stir the food and it's funny because she will open the little refrigerator and add mustard or ketchup to whatever she is "cooking." She likes to play "mom" with her babies, and she loves to play in the tub! She likes to vacuum with her popper thing (not sure if that's the correct name for it :) ) And she loves watching Aunt Hailey's basketball games...most of the time...other times she likes the bleachers more, which is no fun when you are chasing her around! She likes PLAIN cheerios, oranges, bananas, and really any type of fruit, but those are what she has the most. She also likes these veggie straws from Costco...they kind of taste like chips but not as salty or greasy. She loves to run, jump, talk on the phone, and dance. She will point to airplanes when she hears them and if she can't see them she puts her arms up like, "where is it?" She also likes brushing her teeth and that is really the only thing she will sit still for long enough for me to do her hair! She likes to suck the toothpaste off first though. She LOVES milk and if we try to give her juice or water she will throw her cup if she sees that whatever is in it isn't white. We gotta work on that attitude! She likes to play hide and seek and it's so cute when she tries to hide. Her feet or hands will be sticking out or we will see her slowly back up to the wall if we ask "where's Peyton?" It's so funny! She hates when we wash her hair or clean her face, and does not like to sit still for too long, especially when I'm trying to do her hair! Usually I have to out a pony tail in it while she's sleeping. She hates when we don't pay attention to her in the backseat while we drive, hates to be covered with a blanket at night, and hates getting dressed! She likes to help me fold laundry and put the clothes from the washer into the dryer. She LOVES playing with our iTouches and its funny that she knows to push the button and slide the bar over with her finger. She likes to play in her playroom too. I'm so glad we changed it for her. Not only did she need it, but she loves playing in there. Every night we usually follow her in there and she will "cook" us something, or we will read in there. We have a little mini couch from ikea in there and it fits us all perfectly. It's so cute how she just jabbers away like we know what she's talking about. Especially when she is holding the phone to her ear.

She also had her first haircut. Her bangs were looking a little shaggy so I trimmed them up and decided to do the back too. Only like 1/2 an inch, but it actually helps with the knots.

Oh! And she went potty in her chair for the first time. Actually that was close to two months ago now, but I haven't gotten around to posting anything lately! We just happened to have her on it at the moment, but we were so excited and I think she got embarrassed because she jumped up and took off down the hall! She hasn't gone in it since, but we aren't pushing it too much. She knows it's there and she will go in and sit on it in the mornings and throughout the day, but I don't think she knows what to do exactly! We were so proud!

Her first rootbeer float! She really liked it too!

Shopping at the mall with the BEST aunties in the world!

We have to keep a baby gate in front of the dvds or they will be a mess by the time she is done with them! I forgot to put it back up and she went and sat down and just stared. I thought it was so cute how she was sitting though:)

One night we went to Kelli's and Thomas' to play Kinect and I had the pleasure to hold this little man when Katie and Jake came over too! Isn't my future son-in-law so handsome;)

Peyton played with her puzzles...

And once in a while joined in on the fun with Daddy!

Here's the stroller that came with her doll...and no, she isn't naked:)

She LOVES the book, "Christmas in the Manger" and wants to read it all the time! It wasn't even a book we brought out for Christmas, she has liked it for months!

We also celebrated Kenny's 27th birthday on the 25th and My little sister's 15th birthday on the 11th.

Happy Birthday to my Daddy! She is obsessed with chapstick and lip gloss. She just barely touches it to her lips and says "mmmm"

We made mini pizzas one night and she just couldn't wait so she started eating the english muffins just plain.

We had a little birthday party last saturday morning at Peter Piper Pizza!

Hmmm...what do I want to play next?

We made cupcakes...and once again, I promise she is not naked on our counter!

Playing with her "babies"

I went into the garage just to put food in the dogs' bowls and I came back in not even 30 seconds and I caught her! Now you know why she's hardly ever dressed!

She isn't afraid of her quad anymore! This how she rides it most of the time too!

Dad? Where did you go?

Ah man! You are gonna make me go in there after you aren't you?!

She was a little afraid at first...

There you are!

Another birthday party! She knew exactly what to do with the bat/stick. She carries around her bat at home. We actually had to hide it because it's a real metal bat and she likes to swing it around.
