My sweet girl is 18 months today. Where has the time gone? I haven’t been the best at blogging lately. I used to blog each month when Payton was this age. I guess you can say life is busier this time around. :)

What is this busy little girl up too?

Talking: She will repeat just about anything you say.

Momma; Dadda; Sissy; Phil; Poppa, Mamma; Arker (Parker); Grace; Bubba (Nolan) Car; Keys; Bye-Bye; HI; Shoes; THANK YOU; Cheese; Baby and many more that I can’t think of at the moment….

Eating: She is a pretty picky eater.. She loves meats (well most meats.. Chicken, taco meat, etc) fruits.. Strawberries, sometimes watermelon, sometimes Blueberries; Sometimes grapes…. and she likes mandarin oranges; she will drink yogurt drinks… and will eat yogurt. It is hard to find things that she likes. She will also eat cheese. She does not drink milk.

Diapers: size 4

Clothes: 18 months

Shoes: size 5

Loves her mommy!! She always wants me near. She cries and freaks out often if she thinks I am leaving her. She loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Loves to drink water. When we go to the swimming pool she tries to drink all of the nasty pool water. She is fearless and has to be watched at the pool. She will just walk and step in the pool with no fear. She doesn’t necessarily like to stay in the water.. she just likes having the freedom to do whatever she wants to do.

She loves playing with keys and getting in her car. She loves her babies.

She keeps me on my toes. She loves to throw fits when she does not get her way. She is a wild child to say the least HA! We love you Paisley Gayle and slow down on growing!!

Payton and Cheerleading

We signed Payton up for Cheer! It will start in the fall. They had a little mini tryout last Thursday and Friday but we only went Friday because it was a last minute sign up/decision for us. Payton was really nervous and didn't want to do the tryouts. So they didn't make her. I am sure it was intimidating and after all everyone makes it anyway. But, a lot of her friends are in it and so it should be fun and a good experience for her!

Payton's Art Show at School

Last Friday, Payton's school had an art show. Their was art displayed thoughout the hallways in the school. Got to see some of the different art work that she has done. They also had face painting too! She had lots of fun and got to run around with her friends. I couldn't even get pictures because they were running around all over the school 😀

Junie B. Jones Day and Character Breakfast

Last Friday, Payton dressed up at school for Junie B. Jones day. It's a series of chapter books that kids read. And that same morning, she had a chick fil a breakfast in the library wit the cow. She was chosen by her teacher.. for the girl from their class to be put in the drawing to represent kindergarten and she was chosen. She is a great student and I'm very proud of her.

Randomness Outside

We have been spending a lot of time outside. The girls really like being outside, especially Paisley. Payton got a new trampoline for her birthday too. But, we spend a lot of time in the front and playing in the driveway.

So here are random pictures from outside!

Searching for roley polllies is Paisleys favorite thing to do

Payton Kindergarten Spring Picture

Here is Payton's spring picture!! I really was impressed how it turned out 😀

Watch D.O.G.S. With Payton

Phil got to be the Watch Dog at Payton's school yesterday. She was super excited! It's a program for dads. He got to spend the day at her school, he had a schedule and did something with each grade throughout the day. He got to spend more time in Payton's class, eat lunch with her, and they even did the moring announcements.
