A boy and his daddy....

Here are some snaps with Peyton and his "Daaaaaadaaaaa". I tried to process these in a more "film" kind of way (I know.....trying to make a digital photo look like a film photo makes no sense).











...and a boy and his daddy's iPad.

Just pictures....

....and then the last little piece of his popsicle fell and this is what happened...








desperately trying to pick up the remnants of his popsicle...

What we've been up to....

Seems like I rarely update the blog these days - probably b/c the little guy keeps me soooo busy! It has been insanely hot here lately so we haven't been able to play outside much, which means we have to get creative! Most days, you can find us either at Barnes & Noble (reading books & playing with their train set) or at Boingo Bounce (an entire warehouse filled with inflatables!).

FACTS:

-Peyton now sleeps in a "big boy bed"! We took the rails off of his crib and things are actually going pretty well. He sleeps well at night (doesn't get out until we come into his room in the morning) but naps have been a little difficult. I think because his room is so light during the day, he has problems staying in his bed when all of his toys are laying around.

-Still the pickiest eater. Ever.

-Talks nonstop now. He still intersperses a ton of gibberish with real words but at least he's trying!

-Loves to hug (everyone). He hugged a little girl at Boingo Bounce today. He closes his eyes and tilts his head while walking towards you with his arms wide open.

-He is a watermelon freak!

-He has been slowly learning how to use his "bike". It is a mini sized bike without pedals that is supposed to teach kids how to balance. He should be able to go straight from this to a regular bike and skip training wheels.

-Fascinated with the whole "potty" business. He wants to watch you use the toilet so he can figure out what's going on. He likes to flush the toilet and also enjoys pointing to your crotch in public and yelling "poo-poos and pee-pees".

Blog Makeover!

Ok, so I redid the blog layout - not sure if I'm going to keep it. I was bored of looking at that plain ol' blog......

Peyton & Mia Farrow

Can you even tell which one is which?!?!

WATERMELON!!!!!

Fact: Peyton loooooooves watermelon! He almost finished off half a watermelon just by himself!

What P has been up to lately:

-tries to repeat everything we say. Some words are still gibberish but at least he is trying! (Baby "Cheese-it" = Baby Jesus)

-likes to play in his closet and wants me to sit in there with him. He then closes the door and leans in to kiss me while giggling. I think someone is preparing for Junior High parties!

-got a haircut! He now looks like a young Mia Farrow.

-getting more interested in the whole "potty" process. He likes to point to his crotch and then say "poo-poo and pee-pee"

-loves to play at "Boingo Bounce" (it is made up entirely of inflatable bouncy castles and slides!!!!) He even does the 20 ft. slide by himself!











And for comparison, one from last year:
