6 Months Already...

Peyton is six months old today. Wow! I am so glad she is a part of our family. We are going to the pumpkin patch to take her six month photos later this week. I'll post when I get them.

My Big Girl Shoes...

I really liked wearing my shoes for a bit, but I couldn't find my feet.

Peyton's Eating Habits These Days...

It has been fun trying new foods with Peyton. It is also nice that she can eat with us at the table now. I have been making her food which is way easier than I thought & actually super cheap...well right now anyway. It just bothers me how long those jars of food last...what exactly is in them? I am going to get a few for "emergencies", but I'll try to make most of it. We bought this cool new steamer which I really like & can do two foods at once. So far she has had rice cereal, oatmeal, green beans, and squash. Tomorrow she will have carrots for the first time. We'll see how that goes, but so far so good.

Well...I'll do it for Mae...

Mae just tagged me and I like her, so I'll do this...plus it's pretty short & easy!

Facts.....

• I have the greatest husband in the world, Buck, who loves me with the love of Christ!
• One of my favorite hobbies is Fantasy Football...all three of my leagues are going well right now.
• Our daughter Peyton will be six months old next week...my how time flies. I love going on walks with her, playing with her blocks, feeding her squash, cuddling with her when she's tired, and just watching her explore.
• I have been learning to play poker. It is something Buck & I can do together. I am getting better.
• I have four younger brothers (Daniel 25, Adam 24, Barrett, 19, and Josh 10)
• Autumn is my favorite season. I love that our windows are open right now. Walks are comfortable with a cool breeze. Football is on all the time.
• I am an Auburn University graduate. Auburn is a spirit. It is an attitude. It is a way of looking at life and at one another. It is, almost, a way of living. Unless you have experienced it, you will never know what it is; you will never understand it. Once you have experienced it, you will never be the same. A part of you will, forevermore, be an Auburn man or an Auburn woman.

Something We All Agree On...

My Big Girl PJs...

Last night I wore big girl pjs...no footies (I am too long for most of those) and it was two pieces. My mom was sad to put me in them, but I really liked the comfort they provided. This morning when mom got me up, we both put on our slippers & went downstairs. We have been sleeping with the windows open because of the nice fall weather, but it makes it a little chilly in the morning if you don't have footie pjs on. So, here's a pic of me this morning!

My Happy Girl...

Well...the sunlight was not at a good spot, but she was happy so I grabbed the camera for some pics. Her personality is really developing. She is pretty laid back like her dad & kinda quirky like me....I guess that's a good mix! Enjoy the pics.

This just makes me laugh....

God give me the courage to trust you no matter what my circumstances look like

Peyton Chillin with her dog...

Yes, she sometimes loves the dog way more than me...but that's okay. She is cute!

Palin...

This may be the first time I have ever blogged about politics. I cannot remember an election where I felt so strongly about the decision we have to choose our next leader. Maybe it is because I now have been in the workplace, have a family, have an education, have medical bills....I don't know, but who our leader is matters. Anyway, my preference on candidate has not changed because of Sarah Palin. What she has done though, is give me someone in this campaign that I feel like I could sit down and have coffee with, someone that has reminded me of what I value. She has connected me to the issues of the campaign. I feel like she has connected with my generation especially, not to mention moms all over this country. She has reminded me why our country is still great...even with all the issues...even with the politics...even with the economy...and the war. Anyway, that's all I have to say right now...I have enjoyed watching her enter the national spotlight!

5 Month Pics...

Big Girl Things...

I am learning so many things these days...like eating...today was my first taste of cereal. Besides the fact that I tried to feed myself & therefore covered my hands in it, I did pretty good. I mostly just sucked it all off the spoon, but I didn't spit any out...it just didn't all quite make it in!!!

I also decided yesterday that I can feed myself my bottle. Mom & dad didn't know I could since I only have one or two bottles a week...but, I showed them.

I am about to have to retire some of my little baby things like my bouncy seat, because I just sit up in it instead of relaxing back. Mom puts me in it for movie time, but big girls don't lean back...we sit up.

I have really begun to like playing peek-a-boo. My mom disappears behind her hands & then reappears & says "peek-a-boo!!!". Sometimes it makes me laugh; sometimes I just stare at her and try to figure this out. She is really funny though:)

Peyton's First Gameday...

watching a 3-D video with Dax & Cole

Well, I think Peyton's first college football gameday experience was good. Auburn & Arkansas won! Uncle Josh came to visit for the weekend. Buck's birthday was fun. We relaxed and enjoyed our three-day weekend!
