Celebrating his first birthday with family and friends in Dallas. Thanks to all who came to share in our joy. We feel very loved!

Milestone

A few weeks ago, Payton started to take a few steps at a time. We were hesitant to say he was walking, because sometimes, it looked like he just stumbled a few steps... :). Well, this past Sunday, he just started toddling off! About 10 steps at a time during our small group! (picture to come)...Something else, he learned how to do (to our dismay) was to "turn on" the TV...

Thanksgiving

We went to Houston for about a week to see family and friends. It's always fun to see everyone and as always Payton was the center of attention. Here are some pix from the week...Gong Gong and Po Po and Payton's new favorite toy (Roberta's old toddler taxi)
Obogi and Harmoni at Uncle Chris and Auntie Fay's house.

Thanks cousin Lukas for letting Payton play with all your toys!

Caught...Red Handed

Payton has found a new favorite hobby: pulling books off bookshelves... Here's a pic of him, where I caught him in the act! I think from his facial expression, that he knows he's doing something he shouldn't be doing...

After Baths

Here are some pictures of Payton after he takes a bath...

First Halloween

For Payton's first halloween costume, as a family, we decided to all dress up as baseball players... We also went over to Uncle Tim and Auntie Janice's house to help pass out candy. Payton had alot of fun playing with everyone there, especially with Tucker, Tim and Janice's cute dog (dressed as a policeman).
