Some of My Favorite Things...

These are some things I love to do now that I am ten and a half months old:
  • climb the stairs at our house--that's been loads of fun
  • play with anything electronic--cell phones, remotes, computers, the Wii
  • say "yes" and "no"
  • rub bananas in my hair--this just started out of the blue
  • sit & read
  • carry my baby doll around wherever I go
  • practice walking with my walker
  • lay my head down on anything soft and "rest"
  • ignore my mom & dad when they tell me to do or not do something
  • stand up next to my crib and pull my blanket through the slats so I can roll around in it & play peek-a-boo with someone or just with myself

My New Chair...


While we were on vacation, we got Peyton a new chair from IKEA. We thought it would be awhile before she could get in it herself, but yesterday afternoon she climbed right up into it.

Our Mini Vacation...

This week our family went on a mini vacation. On Wednesday, we went to Auburn for a visit. Buck & I went to the Auburn v. Arkansas basketball game. WAR EAGLE! We visited lots of friends & walked around on the campus that has changed so much I can barely recognize it.

Thursday afternoon we drove back to my mom's house & visited for the evening. Then, on Friday night, my mom kept Peyton so that Buck & I could go to a hotel for Valentine's Day. Buck splurged all weekend on me & we had such a good time. Friday night we went to Longhorn for an early dinner. Dan Reeves was eating there too. Then we went back to the hotel and relaxed for a bit before going to the Cheesecake Factory for dessert. Saturday morning we slept in!!!! Then we went to Honeybaked Ham for brunch before doing some shopping and watching "He's Just Not That Into You".

We came home last night & are taking today to relax and finish our vacation. Here are a few pics:
