Standing!

Payton can now stand up by herself.. which is a little bit scary for mommy. She pulls herslef up everywhere now! She has tried to take a few steps if she is holding onnto to something sturdy & sometimes she will puch herslef up off her knees into a "bear" crawl position. Cant believe how fast she is growing!

Grocery Shopping

Grocery shopping is a lot more fun now that Payton rides in the front of the cart... for both of us! She looks so cute & sooo big! She sure gets a lot of attention too :)

Garden Friends

On Sunday we went to a cute nursery about 15 min away to but flowers & veggie plants for our garden! Payton wore her "Garden Friends" romper to celebrate the occasion.. also because it was SO hot again! She seriously would NOT look at the camera during this outing & we tried very unsuccesfully to take pictures of her ha!

Cheer up!

My family went back home of Saturday & I was kind of sad, so Mike took Payton & I out to cheer us up! He is so sweet. We went to lunch at Chipotle (yum!) and bought more materials for our deck! Then we went on a nice walk & enjoyed the weather. It was 90 degrees on Saturday!!!

Baby Bo

Baby Bohman is finally here!!! Born to our good friends Jay & Kati. He is so cute & we love him already! He is welcomed by Payton's best friend: big sister Audrey. SO happy he is here!
Also I forgot to add this picture of my dad & Payton with her Easter gift ( aduck easter basket) that she absolutely LOVED! She would not take her eyes off it & struggled until we handed it back to her! haha

Visitors!

We loved having my family visit from COl ast week! We really enjoyed seeing them & just spending time together as a family. We took Payton & Jude (the baby I babysit twice a wk) to a program at the Nature Center called "Babes in the Woods" which was really fun. Payton got to see all kinds of bugs & grubs! she even held a bug & did not try to squish or eat it! We took a lot of walks i the beautiful weather, went shopping, & ate lots of yummy food :) Payton's grandma Hostetler is also making her a dress & so Payton had to try on her cousin Kierra's dress first to make sure that it fit just right! I think its pretty sweet. We really miss my family already & cant wait to see them in July!!! Love you!

Payton the "Explorer"

Payton's 9 month photo shoot was a blast because it was outside!!! (finally!) My best friend Kati does such an amazing job getting pictures (even at 9 months preggo!) of such an active little girl like Payton! I am serious- she ate pretty much everything in site & would hardly even look at the camera for 2 seconds! She basically loved being at the park! She & Audrey had sooo much fun playing & Kati & I were pretty wore out by the time we called it a day lol.
This week is going to be an exciting one bcause my family from CO is coming to visit tomorrow! yay! We are just as anxious as can be waiting for them to get here! Also, Kati is due with baby #2 on April 9th, but we would be fine if little boy Bo decided to come today!!!
