Back and Busy

Peyton really enjoyed her first flight - as you can see. This was in Fayetteville before we even took off. She was perfect on all of the flights. She even survived our 22 hour layover in Atlanta. Our flights continued to be delayed and then canceled so we had to spend Sunday night in a hotel. Delta was great though. They took care of everything. We even ran into my friend from Ft. Polk and did dinner with her. Small world.

A glimpse into our future. This is our niece Emily. Rob rocked her to sleep - and himself. He has the touch!

It really is impossible to get a photo of three children. Garrett is 7, Emily is 13 months and Peyton is 4 1/2 months old. They all got along really well. Peyton and Emily's outfits were given to them from Grandma. We really tried to get a good shot. This was the best out of the 15 we took.

Like Mommy like Daughter! That's all I have to say!

Here's the party gang. This is Rob's sister and her hubby Scooter. We had a blast. We left Saturday morning at 5 a.m. and flew to Mississippi for a 3 Doors Down concert. That's Rob's favorite band. We partied hard and enjoyed our time. I did miss Peyton, but it was good for Rob and I to get away for a night. WOOHOO!!!

Here is a pic of Rob and the lead singer Brad. The band was so nice. We had floor tickets and were just a few feet from the stage. The concert featured the Music Mafia, Sara Evans and then 3 Doors Down. It was a blast. We are still recovering from the Thanksgiving travel and then the concert trip. My Aunt and Uncle are here now so we've been going and going. We then will have two weekends full of activity and then we head to Florida for Christmas. Then Rob will leave :(

Peyton is just days away from turning 5 months old. Tonight she reached for my cup with water in it so I figured what the heck...let's try a sippy cup. She loved it. She could hold on with both hands and then knew to get the nipple in her mouth. (She's mastered that - Mamma's girl likes to eat.) So we'll keep giving the sippy cup for her to play with.

Peyton's Development:

1. We now reach for Mommy. Only Mommy! She has now officially associated me with comfort. It's really cute and heart warming until you discover that you have to do everything. Rob's really good at putting her to bed, but now she sometimes wants me.

2. She still sleeps with us. It's by default. She starts out in her bed, but then I put her in bed with us to eat. I fall asleep and she falls asleep. Next thing you know it's 7:30 a.m.

3. Rob and I have failed at our sleep patterns with Peyton. She was going to bed at 7 p.m. no questions asked. Not anymore. It's 8:30 right now and Rob is walking her around the house trying to convince her that it's bedtime.

4. She loves her exersaucer and walker. She can stand straight up in those two toys.

5. We're getting a little better at sitting on our own. She still looks like a Weeble Wabble.

6. She turns 5 months old in 3 days. We're going to try green beans. Yummy!!!!!
