SHE'S NINE MONTHS OLD!

Yes...that is way too close to one year and that makes me a little sad! Payton is growing so quickly and doing new things each and every day. She and her brother and sister bring so much joy to Brad and me and we count our blessings every day to have three amazing children. Thank you God!

Payton's 9 month stats...

weight: 20lbs 1oz.

height: 30in

words: da-da, buy-buy and bubba (buh-buh) I know you are probably thinking that bye-bye and bubba are the same. Nope! The second Landon gets in the car after school she starts chanting for her bubba! It's so sweet! (I have to keep reminding Reagan that her name is much harder to say!)

new things she's doing: scooting all over the place, goes from laying down to sitting and back down again, sleeps about 10 hours a night straight (when she is not cutting her top teeth!), smiles non-stop, waves at everyone she sees, can now growl like a bear (Talent at its finest, I know! We kept trying to get her to do this to go along with her Baylor Bear Halloween costume, and she finally got it about a week late!), eats mostly table food and is still very picky, now only nurses 3 to 4 times a day, drinks from a sippy cup (We realized last night that she can also suck from a straw. She scooted over to Reagan's water jug at a soccer game and went to town on her sister's water!)

I am attaching some of my favorite pictures (the ones I have not yet posted on previous posts) of our girl from the last few months! Enjoy!

Loving some ravioli!

all smiles at the mall

Doesn't this face just scream STINKER? That's banana in her hair...lovely. Yes, she usually does wear a bib, but I had just given up at this point. I knew we were heading straight to the bath and the clothes stood no chance.

She's ready to take off!

We ADORE Dr. Amber. Here she is checking out our girl at her latest check-up.
