Finishing the Kiddie Maze

Peyton enjoyed the kiddie maze at the pumpkin patch

Pumpkin Patch...

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.
