Sorry for no pics...

Peyton Elizabeth Webb - 21 months

Well, I am really bad and didn't take any pics at Thanksgiving with family in Arkansas...although we did get some family professional pics while there that I will scan it at some point. And, I didn't take any pics while we were in South Dakota. But, I do have some Christmas pics to post. This whole not having internet at the house thing is wearing on us. Here's what I've got...

I love saying "cheese"

opening presents

"I draw"

trying to figure out this stocking thing

Fun Moments..

Here are a few pics from the last month or so...just some fun around the house!

making cookies with mom & licking the batter...

I like to "help" dad drive the car when he gets home from work in the afternoons.

Cole likes to play in my cabinet with me when he comes over.

A much better view for football

Halloween 2009

dressed as Tinkerbell

We had a fun Halloween weekend. On Friday evening, we took Peyton took a fall festival at a church for a few minutes before heading to Andrew & Heather's for a pumpkin carving contest. Buck & I were the judges and did not participate. It was a lot of fun hanging out though. Then on Saturday evening we went trick-or-treating at the Outlets . She was a little more comfortable with the process by the time we were done there.

I will return with more Disney pics later, but here are a few shots from our trip to the pumpkin patch last week.

War Eagle, Hey!

Peyton first learning to say "WAR EAGLE, HEY!" It has gotten a little more clear throughout the season. And, I love when she spontaneously begins!

18 months...

Well, Peyton is 18 months and just becoming more of a little girl every day. She loves everything about being a toddler including the independence. She likes to go up and down the stairs without us by scooting or stepping. She tells us which one she is choosing for the moment. She is talking all the time. She loves to say bye-bye which is a full routine "bye-bye, blow a kiss or two, and then peace out". She really enjoys calling people by their names over & over again. She is learning a lot about what is the right & wrong thing to do. When she comes out from timeout she has to apologize for her attitude (usually what got her there). So, she responds with "sorr...tude" translated "sorry...attitude". She is 29 pounds and almost 34 inches, which keeps her around the 95% for both. She also now thinks there is a baby in almost every belly including her own, although she will often come up and lift my shirt up to give "baby sister" a kiss...just working on where the appropriate place to do that is (i.e. not the doctor's office). That is just a glimpse into our life with her...so much fun while being so hard to be intentional & consistent.

Disney: Day 3

Characters at the Park Opening

These are a few more pics from day 3 at Disney. We visited the Magic Kingdom. They definitely had the best opening of all of the parks! We headed straight to Fantasyland and rode four rides in about 30 minutes!! Peyton liked Winnie the Pooh the best. Then we headed to Pooh's Playful Corner to let her run around a few minutes before heading to Toontown to stand in our longest line of the trip to see the Fairies in Pixie Hollow. Next, we rode the train around to the front of the park and met Pluto before heading to lunch at the Crystal Palace:)

Pooh's Playful Playground

Lunch at the Crystal Palace was wonderful. Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, and Eeyore visited our table. Peyton loved every minute of it...although she was so excited about which character was coming next she sometimes forgot about the one visiting her right then!!!

Disney: Day 3

There will be several posts for Day 3 at Disney. We spent the day at the Magic Kingdom and packed in a ton of fun!

Disney: Day 2

We spent our second day at Animal Kingdom. We didn't go back after naptime, so just did as much as we could do. We went on the Safari, through several of the walking trails, spent time at Rafiki's Planet Watch, met many characters, and started the Lion King show. It got canceled about 10 minutes into it (don't worry, we came back on Wednesday before we headed home and caught the entire show). Buck rode Expedition Everest twice. We ate lunch at Pizzafari.

Many people told us that Animal Kingdom was a 1/2 day park, but we could easily stay longer than that--especially with all of the characters there are to meet here.

Meeting Safari Mickey

That evening we headed to Ohana at The Polynesian Resort. This was our favorite meal. Peyton enjoyed the food & entertainment. The shrimp was amazing & Buck enjoyed the steak. The meat is all you can eat. They bring the skewers to the table until you cannot eat anymore.
