She's a Toddler!

Writing this makes me sad....might be the pregnancy hormones, but I'm pretty sure every mom gets sad when they realize their "baby" isn't much of a baby anymore. Especially you're first....there is something so special about your first-born. They are the ones that taught you everything you need to know to be a good parent the next time around :-) We've entered the world of toddler beds, sitting on the potty, and independence! Peyton is such a little sweatheart and has recently become very attatched to both mommy and daddy....perhaps she senses that things are changing...or it's just a phase. Whatever it is, Brad and I are enjoying every second of it! She gives big hugs and kisses and cuddles. Her new favorite thing to do is to play naked in her new big girl room after bathtime at night. She runs around with her little tushy shaking, lol. It is so cute! Just tonight she was running around naked and then stops and comes over to me on the bed and lays down next to me and cuddles me.....we sang the ABC's and I told her all about her new little sister coming this summer. It makes me sad to think that in such a short while, it won't be just her anymore. Exciting.....but still kind of sad....


She is finally learning to stop and smile for the camera!

"It wasn't me mommy, I swear"

"Huh?"
