"Big Girl!"

In case you were wondering, yes, the little, red piano still travels around the house with Payton. She loves playing it everywhere!

Payton loves showing everyone that she is a "Big Girl". Everytime we say it, both hands and arms go straight up in the air.

Her hair is really starting to fill out and get even longer (look closely at the middle picture).

Baby Weight

Payton went to the doctor on Tuesday for her nine month check up. She weighs in at 13 lbs. 12 oz. and is 27 inches long. The doctor said that she is on an upward turn with her weight. In otherwords, they are no longer concerned. Yea!

She has been a very active little lady the last couple of weeks. She loves pushing her little shopping cart around the basement. She will make quite the shopper some day! She does a nice job of looking around, while navigating the cart. She also likes to babble "ba ba ba" and "da da da".

She discovered chicken and noodles with carrots at Grandma Pia's this weekend. She thought they were great. We brought some leftovers home.

Now that the holidays are over and we have begun the New Year, I feel like we can finally relax and enjoy some family time. Payton spends her days playing with her toys from Santa while Ty and I put the house back in order (lights down, decorations away, etc.). I go back to work tomorrow, but I have had a wonderfully relaxing winter break with the family.
