Payton's 2!!!!

It is hard to believe that just two short years ago I was sitting in the hospital holding a sweet baby girl, thinking..."holy crap, I am a mom!" Now my sweet baby girl is two years old. She is the light of my life and I now think, "I am so thankful I am a mom!" She is busy as ever, talking up a storm and making me laugh on a daily basis. Her funny sayings these days include, "Hey guys," "check it out," "you help me" (I help you) and my personal favorite "No poop in dare". The last one happens when she is changing the diaper on her baby doll. She calls polka dots: coconuts, a net:neck, and her Nana: Nan. She has become quite the counter and it sounds something like this 2(she skips 1), 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, a13, a16.

We spent the day being lazy. Payton helped me wash dishes. Sounds cruel on her birthday but it is one of her favorite things to do. We played with her toys. She entertained Caleb, watched Belle/Beast (Beauty and the Beast), and had a cookie after dinner. All-in-all it was a great day. Can't wait to see what the next year will bring.


My baby girl!


Playing with her toys.


Playing with Caleb.


I always let her play as I am wiping up the counters.




Washing dishes with me. Yes, she is topless. She tends to get more water on herself than in the sink. It only took me 2-3 times to realize it would be better to just take her shirt off so that she at least has a dry shirt for nap time.


This was a cookie that I got for Payton.


We sang Happy Birthday to her and she blew out her candle and then proceeded to dive right into the icing.




Of course a bath happened this evening. I don't think I have seen blue icing in so many places. :-)
