Peyton is an absolute chatter box lately. I think she talks from the minute she wakes up until the minute she falls asleep! It is wonderful to be able to actually communicate with her but the silence is also very peaceful at night time! The other day she was playing with one of her baby dolls and I asked her what her baby's name was...she thought about it for a minute and then said "Prosciutto"! Yes that is correct, she has officially named her doll prosciutto. It was hilarious but I thought like in the past that she would forget by the next time I asked her; however, she has not. She even remembers which doll it is. I love the things she comes up with! And the things she remembers...we are in trouble! There is no doubt that we have to be careful what we say and tell her because she will of course repeat it at some point again. But her memory is fabulous. She has memorized a handful of her favorite books and even chose to read them to Dominic the other day at nap time instead of Dominic reading them to her. She will even hold them up so you can see the pictures.
The things she says and does continuously brings a smile to my face. I could not be more proud of Peyton!

Big girl bed!
Wow our big girl, Peyton slept in her new bed last night for the first time!
Our friends gave us their toddler bed recently, so yesterday we finally decided why not give it a try. With the crib still in the room and ready to go I explained to Peyton that she has to stay in her bed all night long until her sun comes on and Mommy comes to get her. I told her that if she needed anything to just yell for Mommy and Daddy. She was a champ. Fell asleep on her own and woke up right before her sun came on. She stayed in bed until I came in to get her. Right now we are working on naps...she is currently laying in bed talking but I do not hear her playing so that is a good sign. Crossing my fingers she will be out cold any minute!
I am sure there will be times in our future where we will hear her reading books or playing with her toys but that is ok. I am so proud of her for making it through the first night with no problems. She is very excited right now about her big girl bed. I will post pictures of her getting comfortable with it yesterday very shortly!
And for a funny Peyton comment to end this post....
One of Dominic's best friends left to go back to Europe a week ago. Peyton asked "Where is Christian" I told her "He is in Europe" Peyton's response "He is not in my up"! It was hilarious she heard your up instead of Europe. After trying to explain it to her again we ended it with saying he went on an airplane. Dom and I got such a kick out of it!
