Family Pictures

We had Peyton’s 9 month pictures taken outside in May and we also wanted to get a few family pictures. Kelly Thomas did a great job again!! Here are some of my favorites!!!

Peyton- 9 months

Wow, where to begin! Peyton has been growing up way to fast and reached exciting milestones around the 9 month mark!  She has taken off crawling,standing up on furniture and cut her first two tooth(bottom)! She loves to wave bye-bye and jabber da-da! She is so much fun and always has big smiles except when she knows its time to eat or we're eating!! Loves to watch Tv just like her sister! Her favorites are Little Einsteins and Super Why! We are finally over the ear infections(we think) we have been to the ENT twice now with no infection so we are on a good streak! Peyton loves anything with water(baths, water table and pool)!!!! Still takes 2 naps, morning is usually 45 minutes-hour and afternoon usually 1.5-2.5 hours! And sleeps through the night about 12 hours!
She's in size 3 diapers and wears 6-12 month clothes! She weighed 19lbs (60%) and is 27.5 inches(45%) at her 9 month appt!

Other stats I missed-
6 months
15 lbs 10 oz(40%)
26in(50%)
She also had croup when she was around 6 months...

-You slept in a toddler bed ever since you were 17 months and we switched you to a twin bed shortly after! You were so excited and did so well!

 

On your birthday Daddy went to go get some muffins before you woke up! Then we went to Crazy Bounce and played for a little bit! You loved the kid area but were not big on the big slides until it was time to leave!!

After Crazy Bounce we went to Panera Bread, you love the soup there!

 

Birthday Party Fun!

 



Fall 2012

We went to a pumpkin patch this year because we had a groupon to use, so we met up with Mom, Katie & the boys!

This year for Halloween we just took the kids to see Grandpa and Grandma Rietman so they could see the kids and so we could see my nephews and then we went to church for pizza! We had Kyle’s parents watch the girls the night before so we could go to a Right to Life dinner, so we just had the girls in their costumes when they came!

Best attempt of a good picture

Makenna thought it was pretty cool that her sister was in her bed!

 

Watching daddy mow the lawn!

 

Last week Sunday we had Katie come to take some pictures for us for our Christmas cards! These are just a few we came up with! Check out Makenna’s little sass!

 

We haven’t been able to take Makenna out very much to play on the playground in our subdivision(which is conveniently located right next to our house), so we took her out there yesterday while Peyton was napping and she absolutely loved it! She even went down the slide by herself, which surprised Kyle and I! She had a little meltdown when we told her it was time to go!
