It has been awile since our last post! Happy 21 months to Peyton! I cannot believe how the time has flown...she will be 2 years old in just 3 months!
These last few months have been fantastic! Peyton is talking more and more everday. She has become a very good "mimic". She repeats everything we say, so now we have to watch our words! :)
The biggest development is that Peyton is going #2 on the potty! She wont stop playing long enough to go #1. As usual, she is at her own pace!
Peyton also started gymnastics this month. It isnt a structured class, but just gets her exposed to the gym and the equipment. She LOVES it!
Last month we had a GREAT visit with the Rearden family. We went to the pumpkin patch and had a BLAST!!! This month Mimi and Grandma and Grandpa are coming to visit for Thanksgiving. Peyton cannot wait to be spoiled. She talks about them coming all the time.
December will be a very busy month. PopPop and Lisa are coming to visit. They will help us find the perfect Christmas tree! We will also visit the Reardens at their home in Daytona. We are getting together with the Joyce family and the Munroe family for a holiday lunch and then it is off to see the family! Peyton cant wait to play with her new friend Jack too!
As you can see, we have been very busy, but we are having so much fun!!!
Much Love!Comments:Grandma and Grandpa: Peyton, you are such a busy little girl! We can't wait to see you for Thanksgiving and also to have you come for Christmas! It will be fun for you to meet your cousins, Brooke and Spencer! Love, Grandma and GrandpaAdd a comment:

What an amazing month it has been!!!
Peyton is now 18 months old. The biggest news is that she finally started WALKING!!! We had lots of fun activities this month. The Rearden family came to visit. Peyton loved playing with Mackenzie and Ava.
Mommy is now staying home with Peyton and it is so rewarding. However, it does come with lots of challenges. Stay at home Moms truly have the hardest job ever! It is worth every minute though!
Grandma and Grandpa stopped over for a few days on their way home from their vacation. It was a wonderful visit and we even convinced them to stay an extra day! (didnt take too much convincing!)
Mommy and Peyton went to Atlanta to visit PopPop, Lisa and Lindsey. It was really great to see them and Peyton loved chasing Sammy the dog.
Stay tuned because next month will be busy too. Mimi is coming to visit, we are all going to Charlotte, and Peyton is going to have her very first ice cream cone!!!
SOOOO Much Love!!!Comments:Grandma and Grandpa: Peyton, you are such a big girl! I hope Mommy and Daddy take pictures of you with your first ice cream cone! I hope it is chocolate! Hugs and Kisses!Add a comment:

Happy 17 Months to Peyton!
These past few months have been very busy! Aunt Kimmy and Uncle Monkey came to visit. We had so much fun with them! Aunt Kim spoiled me rotten and I really enjoyed the long conversations with Uncle Monkey.
I am talking up a storm!!! I have so much to say when we are together. However, I am still being quite stubborn with the walking. I CAN walk, I just won't. Daddy took me to the store and I walked all over, even right out the front door! But I don't like to flaunt talent, so I won't do it at home.
We went to Orlando to visit Aunt Danielle, Uncle Fabio, and Nolan. We had a lot of fun together. Nolan still thinks girls are yucky, I'll get him next time! Uncle Fabio and Grandma Cleide played in the pool with me and watched me all day while Mommy and Aunt Danielle went shopping. It was a blast! Mommy even got to visit my new friend Jack Calhoun. I didnt get to see him. Next time! I hear he is sooo cute!
Can you believe I got 4 new teeth! All of my eye teeth came in. They hurt me so bad. :(
Stay tuned for more fun summer news! We will be visiting everyone in Tampa Bay next week!
Much Love!Comments:Gina: Comming to Tampa! Hey Peyton, come on over I love to play!! Alexandra

Happy 15 Months to Peyton!!!
We are doing great! Peyton is talking more and more everyday. She can now say...
Mama
Dada
Baby
Car
Hi
Duck
Fish
Dog
Night Night
Bye
Book
She can make two animal sounds...Elephant and Monkey. Random, I know! She also points out almost all of her body parts!
No walking yet. She now exclusively walks on her knees. Dr. Hewett says not to push it!
Peyton is growing steadily but is still just a peanut. She is in the 20th percentile for weight and 15th percentile for height. Definitely a Jones!
Giving hugs and kisses is one of Peyton's favorite things. She is such a loving and sweet little girl. We just can't get enough!!!
Much Love!Comments:Aunt Kim and Uncle Monkey: We had such a great time with you, Peanut! We love you so much! Thank you for all the "night nights" and snuggles! Don't forget to show daddy your new bunny and wolf tricks. :)Add a comment:

Happy 14th Month to Peyton!
She has gotten THREE new teeth this month! Her molars are coming in, just one more to go. I think these have given her the toughest time, she seemed to be very uncomfortable.
No walking just yet, but LOTS of talking! Peyton's latest list includes:
Mama
Dada
Baby
Car
Hi
Duck
She can also point to various body parts like Tummy, Nose, and Hair! We are working on the others.
Grandma came to visit this month and helped out Daddy while Mommy was out of town. We have lots to look forward to in May. MiMi is coming, we are visiting the Loomis family in Virginia, and Grandma is coming again!

Peyton is 13 months old!
We have really been enjoying our sweet little one year old! She is getting more and more mobile. She likes to "cruise" along the edges of the furniture and around the ottoman. She loves to push around anything that has wheels, like her walk-behind toys and her pink car. She even pushes her high chair around the kitchen! Other new tricks include saying "no" (grrreat), clapping, and giving high-5's.
Peyton got three teeth this month!! Another one is on the way. So she has been a little cranky with the soreness. We also discovered that Peyton has an egg allergy. We learned the hard way, so now we keep an epipen on hand and watch her egg intake.
Peyton enjoyed the Easter Egg Hunt at the Powers' house and Mommy ate all of her candy. :)
We are looking forward to a busy April. Grandma is coming to visit and I am sure that sometime in April, Peyton will be walking. Watch out world!
Much Love!

HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY TO PEYTON!
Wow! This year flew by too fast. In the last month we have had so many milestones.
Peyton crawls everywhere and is pretty quick. Now she will also pull herself up on the couch and anything else she can reach. Peyton mimics just about any face you can make. She will also wave bye-bye and hello.
Peyton has discovered her first word.....Baby! Mimi gave her a baby doll for her birthday. As soon as she opened it and saw what it was, she yelled "Baby!". It was amazing because we have never taught that to her! (we had been pushing for Mama and Dada!) Now everytime she sees a baby doll or a real baby, she says "Baby, Baby!".
Peyton had a wonderful Princess Birthday Party. Lots of family and friends attended to watch Peyton smash her cake. She was more interested in gingerly licking the icing from her fingers. Mommy had to squish her hand in the cake in order for her to get into it.
We went for the big one year pediatrician visit today. Peyton's growth and health are perfect! She is just in the 10th percentile for height (she's a Jones!)and the 30th percentile for weight. Nothing wrong with being tiny! The big news was that the doctor has instructed us to lose the bottle and baby food. Now it will only be 3 sippy cups of milk a day and all regular table foods. She is all clear to eat fish, nuts, and eggs too. It's a whole new world!
This year has been the best of our lives. We are looking forward to all of the wonderful things ahead!
Much Love!Comments:Kim Rowland: She is so sweet. So happy for all of you and a Happy belated birthday to Peyton.Add a comment:

Peyton is 11 months old! We are officially counting down to the big 1 year birthday!
Peyton is crawling everywhere and is finally motivated to go from a sitting position to crawling. She keeps us very busy.
Peyton has graduated from the infant carrier to a big girl car seat. She is still backward and we plan to turn her on her first birthday.
As usual, she is talking up a storm. She now tries to say Dog (it comes out as "Doe"), but she says it everytime she sees or hears a dog. She also says "Uh-Oh" everytime she drops something. Is it possible to have "Uh-Oh" be her first word??? I am still pulling for Mama.
Stay tuned, next month is the BIG Birthday!!! Lots of family are coming and we can't wait to see them!
Much Love!Comments:Add a comment:

Happy 10 months to Peyton!
As usual, it has been a very busy month! PopPop and Lisa came to visit for an early Christmas celebration. It was so fun to see them!
It was Peyton's first Christmas and Santa came to visit 3 times!!! He came to Raleigh early and brought Peyton a wagon and lots of fun toys. It was a very special morning for the three of us. Then, he came to Mimi's house on Christmas morning and brought lots of clothes and books. Finally, he stoppped by Grandma and Grandpa's house and brought more clothes and toys! It came as no surprise that Peyton was very spoiled this year.
Peyton continues to eat like a champ! She loves bananas and peaches, but her favorite is mandarin oranges. She got two more teeth!!! She now has a total of EIGHT!!!
Peyton is crawling better than ever, although she isn't very motivated to turn over and get moving on her own. She loves to pull up on your hands and stand with support. Her most favorite game is peek-a-boo!
It has been an exciting month. We are starting to gear up for the big first birthday!!! Time has flown!!!
Much Love!Comments:Add a comment:

Have 9 months gone by already?! So Peyton has officially been outside of the womb for as long as she was in it.
We have had a very busy month. At the beginning of November, we flew to Orlando for UCF's Homecoming. We saw lots of friends and took advantage of the Munroe Family's amazing hospitality. Nolan was a natural big brother. He and Peyton got along great!
In mid-November we flew to Destin, FL to visit PopPop, Lisa, and Lindsey. The beaches were beautiful and Peyton loved to play with the sand.
Unfortunately, on the flight home Peyton came down with a stomach flu and wasnt feeling so great. She bounced back quickly, but managed to share the flu with Mommy, Grandma, Grandpa and MiMi. Somehow Daddy eluded the virus!
Speaking of the extened family, they all came to visit for a wonderful Thanksgiving. Peyton wasn't so sure about mashed potatoes, but did like to smear them all over her tray.
Peyton got two more new teeth this month for a total of FIVE! She has two top teeth and three bottom teeth. In light of her new teeth, Mommy and Daddy decided it was time to try solid foods. She is eating the Puffs like a champ and loves to snack on them. She also likes soft carrots, bananas and peaches. The doctor gave his blessing to try cut up meats now too.
We decided to make a change in Peyton's child care. Now, Daniela and Patty split the week and care for Peyton while Mommy and Daddy are at work. They both provide a wonderfully loving environment for Peyton. She loves to watch and play with their kids, who are just as sweet as can be. They all take such great care of Peyton and we are so blessed to call them friends.
Stay tuned for another busy month in December!
Much Love!!!Comments:Add a comment:
