Peyton is now 10 1/2 months old with her first birthday rapidly approaching. I took these photos trying to get some good ones to use for her first birthday invitations. She is such a ham and always smiling it is going to be hard to choose just the right photo.

Now that Peyton is comfortable pulling herself up she is constantly standing against something. The other day we caught her standing up all by herself for a few seconds. She is also now starting to get comfortable walking along the furniture. I am not sure I would says she is "cruising" yet but definitely getting close. It is scary for both of us to think that she is so close to turning one and walking.

Peyton "talks" all of the time now and giggles a lot. Her favorite word is "wow". I am not real sure where she learned that but she says it all the time. We also love to sing and dance around the house. She is such a good dancer. Must have gotten that from her Mommy! (ha ha!)

Gabrielle turns 1

For Gabrielle's first birthday and Auntie Julie's birthday (2/6/2010) we all flew down to Sacramento to celebrate. This was Peyton's first airplane ride. She did absolutely amazing. Flying with a 9 1/2 month old has its own challenge...for instance she does not want to hold still. But overall she was such a good girl. Our visit with Tony, Julie and Gabi was so much fun. We really do miss them a lot. Happy Birthday Gabi and Julie!
