The Patriotic Path

Every year we do an outfit for the 4th of July and take pictures for Grandpa Bach. Today we went to Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield and we took out anual pictures in Payten's anual outfit!

Payten's 2 year appointment

Payten went to the md today for her 2 year appointment even though she is 1 month away. She is 36 inches tall(3 feet), 32 lbs. in the 95th percentile all around. She is still taking a lot of meds. I was concerned about her juice drinking habits and brought it the md's eyes and they seem to think that it's just a habit. That's right she is a juice-a-holic, we need to cut down slowly and if we are successful she may be able to discontinue her reflux meds. Which would leave her only taking asthma medicines, and since mommy has asthma she will probably always have to take it. But we have come a long way in the last 23 months. Looks like all the surgeries were well worth the time and emotions for the happy little girl we have.

Petting the mini animal

hey pull his tail

We went to a small local petting zoo with the kids, they loved it. Payten thought that all the animals were great, she even got to ride her first horse. Payten also started talking sheep during our visit... so cute. She certainly has a wonderful personality! She is putting more and more sentences together each day. She loves her Uncle Nick and Aunt Melissa. She thinks Uncle Nick is hilarious... they laugh with eachother all day. Aunt Melissa is a super mommy, Payten told her so. Cousin Emerson "merson" or "baby" as she called him. Payten was very gentle but didn't know how to play with him, she talked to him but would not share things with him...
