I was so excited to come home today and find my new canvas waiting for me! I LOVE IT! I am so glad I went with this picture! It is perfect timing since we have nothing on the walls from painting - I have to find the perfect space! I love how her arm rolls are so defined - haha! Her smile is priceless and makes my life complete!!!!
So Matt has off the ENTIRE summer and waits until two weeks before School starts to paint my living room (typical Matt!) I feel like we just moved in - my house is a HUGE mess! I have my couches in the middle of the room, dust everywhere and a One year old that gets into EVERYTHING! I am so happy with the way it is turning out but it is a long process! The people who lived in the house before us painted all the mouldings the same as the walls so it makes our job so much harder to paint them white! Anyway, Peyton had a great weekend - sorry no pics! She says a new word every minute it seems. She had her Rubella and Chicken pox shot this weekend and the poor thing lost her mind! So what did we do....off to the toy store we went! She finally got her Nemo doll and hasn't put it down since. The Dr. found that she had a heart murmur and we need to take her to the cardiologist this week. She hopes that it is a growth issue and not something to be concerned with, so we will see. I will let you all know how it goes!
What happened to my baby girl - she turned 18 over night! She has the strongest personality! She is starting to show and understand so many emotions. She is extremely strong willed and so loving! She has turned into such a great listener. She loves to dance in her car seat - Justin Timberlake is her favorite - she shakes her huggies! She is so into her babies that we can't even go down a doll aisle in any store. Saturday we got suckered in to another Cabbage Patch - but she loves her! Her 'babies' are fed all day long with there 'ba ba's' and have their own crib next to hers. She is such a great eater these days! She is IN LOVE with green beans! She even ate a frozen one the other day! She has to have them with each meal! She loves her Bananas still (nanas) and her Apples (opple). Her belly is the proof that this little girl can eat! She loves to open the door (oh yes - she learned how to open the front and side door!) to either let Hailey in or out - hey at least the dog will listen to someone! At night we watch TV while she drinks her milk and she loves hanging out in the new basement. She has become obsessed with Nemo (memo) and Elmo (melmo). At night we tell her to say night night to whoever she is watching, and she says night night and turns the TV off. She goes and gets her blankie, walks upstairs into her room and puts her baby to sleep - and then it is her turn! This makes us so happy - you have no idea! She is using more words everyday - she is quite the chatter box! Her new words this weekend are Fishy, Flower, Oside (outside), Mommy do, Pa (for Grandpa) and tickle tickle (when she tickles my feet - so funny!). She is starting to put words together - last week she repeated "Love you Mommy" - yes I could have died!
I went to take pictures of Aidan this past weekend and it didn't go so well. Aidan did not want to go to sleep or sit still. It showed me that this whole photography thing is harder than I thought and I was humbled! I seriously wanted to sell my camera on Ebay! It is so frustrating to not be getting any better with all of this! Maybe I am kidding myself - who knows! Well here are some of lil Q......he is too cute to not show!
Today I went to visit Suzi and Aidan....how I have missed them! Mama and Papa B were there as well, their first time seeing their new baby grandson! I was so excited to see them! They have decided to be Georgia Peaches NO MORE and to be good ole NEW YORKERS again! We are so excited to have them back! I love them as if they were my own parents! Papa B finally got his NY Pizza from his favorite place, Mama Lombardi's- he was in heaven - haha! Suzi made me brownies (the right way) and we had a really great night. Aidan is getting so big and looks more and more like his beautiful Mommy everyday! I am blessed to have them in my life!!
