Payten's Playroom...it's clean too!

I cleaned up and weeded out Payten's play room... still lots of toys but more organized so you can actually walk in the room!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Eve

We made fudge and cookies for Santa
Payten helped..she had some fluff!

A visit from our friend Hoke~ We were in our mommies bellies together at school!

Right before bed, Payten took her first video... she says "more" "no" and "night, night" in the video along with some other gibberish we can't figure out yet

Mommy's babies...

She is officially sleeping in the big girl bed...

Full night in the big girl bed....7pm-7am...

Very excited to be going... daddy is going out to a party

Getting ready for bed, 12/20 in the big girl bed... last night 12/19 she slept till 5am in the big girl bed but then into the crib till 8am

The first night 12/13... Payten slept from 9-12 then woke up and was scared, she went back to sleep in her crib that night.

Payten got a teddy from Great Aunt Sandy and Uncle Bruce

We are getting closer to the holidays...

Things are going well since Payten has had her tubes put in and a minor set back of asthma and reflux...all are being treated with maintance medication and she is happier and healthier by the minute every day...she is sleeping again at night (keep your fingers crossed she did go a whole week of getting up at 5:15am) and napping at the sitters for at least 2 hours a day! We know there will be more in the future for Payten but we are looking for this to be a break. We wish everyone a wonderful holiday season together, enjoy your family. As this time of year comes around I miss my family very much. I miss Christmas Eve at Aunt Sue and Uncle Jim's, trying toget to sleep on Christmas Eve only to get up at the earliest time mom and dad would let us, only to walk down the stairs and see the magic of Christmas! I want Payten to have that magic too, unfortunately with family so far away we can only make it magic with just mommy and daddy. Thank goodness for technology, we will web cam family but it will not be the same.

My new things...

Our Christmas Tree
Look I can put on ornaments

My beautiful girl! All Soapy!

Wearing ear plug to keep from getting water in the ears

Our new lawn ornaments.... yes she wants them to be in the house.

Grandma visited this weekend and bought Payten all new bedding. " I love my new bed"....do you think she will actually sleep in it?
