Easter

Here are some pictures from the family Easter Celebration in Hattiesburg on March 22, 2008.

Some pictures from March

Here are some pictures from March - some taken at the lake on March 1, 2008 and some taken while Brian was holding Peyton as well as one picture of Brian on the computer (1-21-08). My favorite is the one of Peyton waving.

Exploring the world

Peyton is beginning expand his exploration of "his world." My parents gave him a walker for Christmas. At first he could only move backwards. Now, he plays soccer with the dogs and plays “chase” with us. He still army crawls – Jeremy said he looks like a sea turtle when he crawls – and he does. But I don’t think the sea turtles can move as fast as he can – especially when he’s going after something that he’s not supposed to have. He tries to repeat “I love you” sometimes – and you can tell that’s what he’s trying to say. He’ll also grab your face and pull you down to give you a big sloppy open-mouthed kiss (I think all babies start off giving a kiss that way). He’s finally started using a pacifier – but only to chew on – and then he tries to share it (he does the same thing with his teething toys) – so you have to be quick and make sure you’re mouth is closed. I don’t try to discourage him – after all – he’s just “sharing.” His paternal grandparents bought him a “scooter” – which he enjoys sitting on and pushing. And he loves the water and his “rubber ducks.”
Shelby’s growing up fast also. She celebrated New Years – and attended a wedding. She’s such a beautiful little girl! But now she and her Mommy are in Dallas with her Daddy – I know her Daddy’s so happy now that he has his family with him.
