Elvis is in the Building!

This weekend we attended a costume contest held by SpringfieldMoms.Org. The event was held downtown at Farmer's Market on Saturday. Our friends, Bryan & Julie, along with their son, Hudson, joined us. Payton dressed as "baby Elvis" and Hudson was an owl. Payton placed 3rd in the 0-2 age group. Yea! She won a giftcard to Babies R' Us and will have her picture posted on the Springfield Mom's website.

Teething!!!

Needless to say, it has been a LONG week. Payton is cutting two teeth on the bottom. Her sleeping habits have never been that great anyway, so it was no surprise to us that she would sleep unusually bad when her teeth started coming in. Instead of getting up once/twice a night, Payton is getting up 4 times a night. Mommy and daddy are feeling very sleep deprived! And still we are waiting on the teeth to come in completely. Such is life...

Payton took her 1st bath today using the "big girl" part of her bathtub! It took a little persuading on mommy and daddy's part for Payton to let go of the sides.

On a side note ~ Mommy feels her 1st tooth coming in. Yea!

Payton is trying out the new jammies that Aunt Lesley sent her. Thanks Auntie Lesley:)

Last weekend Uncle Kyle, Ty, and I took Payton to her third Illinois game. Even though Illinois lost, Payton was the "hit" of the game. She managed to stay awake through most of the game, but dozed off at halftime!

The Great Pumpkin Patch

The Sitko family visited The Great Pumpkin Patch in Arthur, Illinois on October 5. Payton got to enjoy the corn maze, bakery, band, and various animals. We spent 3 hours picking out pumpkins and exploring the area. This is a great place to see. We will definitely be coming back here next year!
