So, I'm used to being able to sit Payton on the floor while she plays and I sit down for a minute to check my email. Usually, it takes her 5 minutes or so to decide to start her rolling around. BUT, now that Daddy has taught her to "army crawl," she is everywhere!! This is where I found her yesterday...the kitchen!!

Thanksgiving and Milestones

Happy Thanksgiving! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family. Josh's mom and grandmother were in town, along with my grandfather and the usual Schutter family. Stories, jokes and lots of good laughs! But, first, check out Payton crawling for the first time! Now, it's more like an army crawl but she definitely get's where she wants to go! Maybe her friend Erin and can come over and show her how it's properly done. :) Do you like my outfit? Great Grammy gave it to me. :) I'm thinking about crawling to Great Grammy... I'm not sure about this?! Playing with Gramma Long Family photos...

Hangin' with Family and Friends

Here are some pre-Thanksgiving pics of Payton playing with friends and family...

Baptism-Sunday, November 16, 2008

Well, Payton was baptised a couple of weeks ago, but, we had a little problem with the computer and lost a bunch of pics. :( So, here is what we were able to scrounge from family. We are also getting some from the church so not all is lost! It was a very special day and Payton was great! It was majorly cutting into nap time during pictures so she started dozing!!

Starting to fade... And, she's out...

Need a good Laugh?

Join Payton for a good Laugh! Her giggle has really "evolved" recently, and it will crack you up!

Get out and VOTE!

Payton and I voted today, did you? Our wait was less than 30 minutes! It was fun. Payton flirted with the man and his son behind us. The only bad thing was that I think the dad was voting for Obama. :( We also had a fun Halloween! Payton was a cute little kitty cat. She had fun for a short time before it was time to go to sleep. She likes her sleep! It is just amazing how quickly she is growing up and learning each and every day.

Well, for those of you we haven't spoken too recently...we sold our house! However, we are still searching for the next one, so wish us luck!

6 months old!

Payton is 6 months and 2 days old! Can you believe it? We had a big day yesterday. Payton sat up all by herself without any help and without putting her hands down! She still only sits when she wants to, but she's definitely got it! She's also working very hard to crawl. Mommy is hoping she doesn't figure that one out for a while!

Our next big event is November 16th as Payton will be baptised! Stay tuned for pics of course!

Still havin' fun!

Well, not much new going on here. Just hangin' out and havin' fun! Payton is "baby" talking more than ever and her laugh is just too cute for words. She is actually in her crib right now because she is suppose to be sleeping. But, what is she doing? Talking! She might not look like her mommy but she sure does talk alot like her. Can't wait for another weekend of football. This weekend will hopefully be a better one than the last...

Milestones!

Payton wanted to share her new excitement. She has mastered (or mastering) a couple more skills. She is ALMOST sitting up on her own and she is holding her bottle! And, as usual, we are having FUN FUN FUN!!

Are you ready for some football?!

Well, football season has begun and of course we celebrated in fashion! Lots of good food and good times. Payton is as active as ever. Jumping around, talking ALL the time and grabbing EVERYTHING!! She loves the high energy level during football season! Still trying to sell the house. We have spent lots of time at grandma and grandpa's (and Maggie) while people look at our house. Hopefully someone will decided to buy it. Hope everyone had a great labor day!

WAAAAR EAGLE! HEY! E A G L E S EAGLES!

Payton was not real happy with me taking so many pictures. I thought her face was priceless. She curls the side of her lip like her mommy does...

Hi Mommy!

Wow Mommy, you are so pretty!
