Peyton’s TWO!

November 3rd, 2008 No Comments »

Peyton turned two on the 30th and she’s changed a lot in just a year.  She is walking and talking now.  She’s actually more at a run speed than walk these days.  She’s into everything. The talking is a great thing, so far.  She’s able to tell us what she wants most times and she’s able to finally let us know what she’s thinking.  Its really cool!

She is doing amazing at her day care.  She’s learning so much every day - from the teachers and other children.  She’s doing pretty well with colors.  She knows her numbers up to 10.  She’s got her ABC’s down too (well, except that LMNO letter…).

Our little girl is a singer, too.  They’ve taught her “the Wheels on the Bus” and “Tinkle Tinkle Little Star”.  She’s also learned the ‘Barney’ song.  So, I’m hoping she’ll keep those musical genes that she got honest.  Granted, they passed over me once puberty hit, but I’m hoping she’ll take after both sides of my family and their musical abilities.  No one in my generation seems to be using that talent - so maybe we’ll have a little superstar come out of Peyton’s generation… :-)

She’s inquizative, too.  She loves to learn about every little thing.  Forunately, its not “Why” followed by “Why” with a little “Why” on the side…  But she will ask you questions trying to learn about the world around her.  “Where’s the air-pane going, daddy?”  - “Look, mommy - a toot-toot” (a train…).

She celebrated her birthday with two parties.  We had one with all of my family in Cheraw and a second with family and friends here in Conway.  Some photos from the parties are posted below… Hope you enjoy.  Videos to come!!

Another year, another name…  Gotta keep it fresh I guess.  We had our annual cookout/pool party at the house on Saturday.  This year was particularly fun with a lot of youngins.  They seemed to have multiplied over last few years.  I also invited more people from my work this year, so it was nice to get to kick back and hang out with them outside of the office.  We did our normal hamburger and hot-dogs and everyone brought side dishes.  We thought the rain might put a damper on things, but by about 2 pm, the clouds were moving out and we had sun for the rest of the afternoon.  Peyton was a prefect hostess and enjoyed playing with all of her friends.  We’ve posted photos to enjoy
