Little Pig Tails!!!

Over the weekend I finally decided to try to pull Peyton's hair back into pig tails. They are little but they are there. I was so excited even though Peyton cried the whole time I was pulling her hair back. I hope that she will start to get use to them so I can start pulling her hair back more often because it is starting to get really long and in her eyes all the time. Her hair is so beautiful and I WILL NOT cut it for a long time!!

The little pig tails were so cute I had to take tons of pictures!

Almost time for the Wedding!

Last weekend Peyton and I went to Topeka to see Shana for her Wedding Shower. We were so excited to see her, since the last time was at Christmas. It was so great to see her and it only made me more excited for the wedding that is coming up quickly in June. Brandon and I are both in the wedding that is in HAWAII!!! Neither one of us has been there and we can't wait.

Easter Weekend

Peyton and I went home to Kansas City for the Easter weekend to spend a little time with family and friends. It was a great weekend and it always seems like the time goes too quickly and before we know it the weekend is over and we have to drive back to Manhattan.

Happy Easter! Peyton looked so cute in her dress...I loved it!
I think that she is just so cute when she sits up in a big girl chair

Not tall enough yet to reach into her basket but she was really trying

Peyton and Mom Easter Morning

After Church we had a brunch and a Easter egg hunt. It was so cold and windy, but the rain hadn't started yet so we were able to go outside for a little while to find some eggs.

Peyton was more interested in checking out the eggs and would not look up at me to take a picture

Since the weather in Kansas City was cold and raining we ended up having the Easter Egg Hunt in the basement of my brother Michael's house.

During Easter we also celebrated the family birthdays in the month of March and April.

Here is Lily opening up the gifts we got her. She really did like the little dog even if her face doesn't look like it here.

Lily had already tossed the clothes down before I could get a picture...She was really funny this year with opening up her gifts and would move on quickly to open the next present

Jon checking everything out from up above...Silly Boy!

Here is a video of Peyton and Lily playing and laughing together. I have to laugh watching this because first of all I am not sure why Lily is only in her tights without her dress on. Second Lily wants to sit with Peyton in "Lily's" chair and you really get to see Peyton show us a little attitude. I hope this is not a sign of whats to come.

Roseola

I took Peyton to the doctor today to check out a rash that started spreading all over her stomach and back. When I picked Peyton up at daycare on Monday she had a fever of 101.2 and continued to have a fever yesterday so I kept her home. I took the fever as she was teething, but once the fever was gone the rash started. So I quickly called the doctor to see what was going on and they wanted me to wait until the morning to see if the rash went away...well it didn't. So Peyton went into work with me this morning until we went to see the doctor to find out that she has Roseola. The good news is that she is just covered in little red bumps that don't itch and will go away in a couple of days.

About Roseola
Roseola (also known as sixth disease, exanthem subitum, and roseola infantum) is a viral illness in young children, most commonly affecting those between the ages of 6 months and 2 years. It is typically marked by several days of high fever, followed by a distinctive rash just as the fever breaks.

Peyton Baby Parade

Peyton turned 1 on April 2nd and I am a few weeks behind getting her 12 month pictures posted. I know that you are all very shocked with that!!! Since the delay I am posting Peyton's Baby Parade along with her 12 month pictures. I have told myself that I am going to try very hard to keep taking her month pictures as long as she will let me. Taking the 12 month pictures really showed me that it is getting very hard to keep her sitting still long enough to get a few good pictures out of her.

Peyton at 12 Months old:

Look at all those teeth!

This is why pictures are getting harder to take!
