8 Months

Whoa, what a month!!! We have hit many milestones this month and I feel like I have gotten to know a new side of my sweet girl. I have learned that Miss Peyton has a wild side! She is extremely energetic and constantly on the go which I am certain is a trait she got from her father. She is now a proficient crawler and is not happy unless she is on the floor and able to move about freely. She pulls up on everything, stationary or not. Everyday I am finding something new that needs to be childproofed. This month Peyton also got her first tooth, which I have to say is not a fun experience. I feel so bad for her because I know she is in pain and I try to use as many natural soothers as possible.

We got to celebrate Shapell's 21st birthday! We didn't get to see her on her actual birthday but we did get to celebrate when we came to Kentucky a week later. We went to Bone Fish Grill which was so so yummy.  

You can barely see Peyton's little tooth sticking up but it is there.

 

She is sitting up in the cart like a big girl. She loved it! You can obviously tell she isn't feeling well, she had a cold on top of teething :(

First trip to the Pumpkin Patch! 

 

We went to Kelly Farm In Lexington and it was such a beautiful fall day! I'm pretty sure Jordan and I had more fun than she did. I am getting very excited for the holiday season and for Peyton to be apart of all of our family traditions.

 

I am already finding out that long term life lessons start early. There is a delicate balance between letting her find out the hard way about things like gravity and wanting to protect her from every little bump and bruise. She is learning quickly that she can't fling herself backwards, luckily it only took a few episodes of this before she figured that out.

 

 

 

A very rare occurrence when Peyton falls asleep on me.
