Payton "talking"

Recently, Payton has started talking a TON.... most of the time we can't understand what he's saying, but clearly, HE understands!

In Love with water

Payton just LOVES water, whether it's in a pool, in the tub or in a cup, he just cannot get enough....


on another note, it's hard to believe in 4 weeks, we will be moving away from the texas heat, and making our way towards the windy city...I wonder if Payton will love snow as much as he loves the water?

Popular with the ladies

It's hard to believe Payton is 18 months old. He still goes to the nursery at our church, as he's too young to be in the Toddler Class. Usually on sundays, near the end of church he gets some visitors. For the most part he loves playing with all his visitors, especially the girls. Here's a pic of him with some of the girls at our church...



And here's a really short video of him, trying to get attention? not sure what he is doing, but normally he is so happy to be around the girls...

...and Payton of course managed to become the center of attention. Check out his delayed reaction after his new life lesson.

Hide and Seek at Academy

Currently, Payton's favorite game to play wherever he is... hide and seek...

Bluebonnets

About a month ago, Payton and I visited Brenham with some good friends to hang out and take pictures with bluebonnets. The 8 of us fit in 1 minivan (with 4 car seats)! When asking the visitor's bureau where the best place to take pictures for babies/toddlers and bluebonnets would be, they told us to go behind the superwalmart in Brenham... we were a little skeptical at first, but it turned out to be a beautiful hill of bluebonnets!
