Miss Personality

Peyton is turning into Miss Personality! Her little attitude cracks us up! This week in school she started saying "Anna" who is one of her friends. She also said "night Night" and is trying to say "Bye Bye". Miss Thang keeps us on our toes!

Breakfast with P!

At daycare this morning they had breakfast for the parents! Peyton was so excited that Mommy stayed to have breakfast with her. I sat with her and all her friends. We had muffins and bagels. Peyton was dancing and laughing. It was the best way to start my day, although the little chairs my big butt had to sit in were so uncomfortable!

Our Lil' Piglet

Today at school they are all dressing up as Disney movie characters. Her class is Winnie the Pooh and Miss Peyton is PIGLET! Her teachers are making them ears and tails. She was wearing all pink. Also today was Teachers Appreciation Day and Peyton surprised her teachers (Miss Karen and Miss Wanda) with flowers - she's hoping she gets brownie points and maybe an extra cracker at snack time - haha! Here is a picture of Peyton and her Best Friend Carly that her teacher sent me

My first visit to the river

It was a rough weekend in our house! We decided to take a walk down to the river to cheer Peyton up last night. She walked by the water, saw the ducks and threw rocks with Daddy. She went on the swings for the first time and went down the big slide. I think Mommy and Daddy had more fun then Miss Cranky!

She's a walking FOOL

Peyton is mastering walking! Last night she was all over the place. We did have a big fall that scared her but that didn't stop her! She is so proud of herself and so are we! We are looking forward to the nice weather this weekend so we can go to the park for the first time and go on the swings! (And yes - the back of her shirt says DIVA! Thanks to her old teacher Miss Patty!)

THERE SHE GOES..........

Today I picked Peyton up from daycare and she was in the best mood. After we got home, she started taking 2 or 3 steps here and there. Then once Daddy got home, the bribing was in full affect. She then took EIGHT steps in a row - across the living room. She did this a few times. But I think after she saw us freaking out (with every camera we could find) she decided we were officially insane and sat down. I think a few more weeks until she gets the swing of things. So she is on the go - WATCH OUT!

Happy Easter

After a very busy day with the party, we were all very exhausted. The next day was Easter. Peyton woke to an Easter basked filled with all her favorite things. She loved her Elmo shaped eggs (yes, of course ELMO) We then went to Uncle John's for brunch with Nana, Maura and Maura's sisters. He and Maura made an amazing spread and Peyton zoooooomed around on her new quad that Uncle John got her. After that we were off to the Gribbin's. There Peyton had a little Easter egg hunt with Grandpa, Nani, Uncle Kevin and Uncle Corey. After another great meal we all headed home for some much needed rest. Thank God there aren't any more holidays for a little while - we're POOPED

The Main Event - Peyton's 1st Birthday Party

After months of hard work - the day finally arrived. It was a great day. All of our family and close friends came to celebrate with us. Peyton (after she finally woke up) had a great time. We all sang to our little Sweet P and then gave her her own little cake. She was a little confused (since Mommy insists on organic snacks at home) but then realized it was all for her. There were many laughs, good food, good wine and all in all a good time

Our Lil' Sweet P is O-N-E!

WOW - where has the year gone? I remember holding my little Sweet P for the first time, all snuggled up. I remember seeing the shock in Matts face when he heard "ITS A GIRL" and I remember Matt and I holding her together and promising to never let go. Now we are trying to keep her out of the toilet bowl, dog food and the snack closet. She has grown into quite a little Diva with the strongest personality on any one year I have ever met - for sure.

Peyton turned ONE on April 5, 2006. She woke to balloons all over her room and a new Elmo doll. She was so excited. We had family over that night to celebrate before her big party that weekend and everyone had a great time. Peyton got such great gifts and had her first cupcake
