I can't believe that my "baby girl" is already two years old! Payton turned two on March 3rd! We decided not to have a big celebration this year, but we just kept it low key instead. Here is a sweet profile of my baby girl and her cute pony tail. Anytime I pull her hair up like this she feels it and says, "tuute" (cute)!Preston, Darron, and I took Payton to Chuck-E-Cheese to play some games and ride some rides for her birthday. Here she is on the horse. Darron went birthday shopping and came home with dishes for her new kitchen and this Easter hat. She loved the kitchen, dishes, AND hat!
This was my feeble attempt at a cute birthday cake. A friend from work had given me this bear cake pan a while ago, and since Payton loves bears and babies, I thought I'd try it out. It turned out cute, and yummy.....I just wish I knew how to REALLY decorate instead of just throwing on lots of sprinkles!
My closest girlfriends came over later that night for our weekly Bible study. We all sang to Payton and they brought her gifts. She loved the attention, the presents, and the cake!
We are so blessed by our little girl. She gave me a rough start (coming too quickly for the epidural to take much affect), and began having seizure at about two weeks old. She was a pretty fussy and demanding baby to say the least! But we believe God has a mighty plan for her! The Lord completely healed her of seizures and has instilled a very happy, joyful, outgoing, spunky personality in her. She is very sensitive to correction (I have NO idea where she got that from!), and while she has a strong opinion and personality, she wants to please.
Payton LOVEs her big brother, Preston, and seems to be excited about having a new baby in June. She LOVES baby dolls, purses, and jewelry (she is so NOT my daughter)! She is still extremely attached to one specific blanket (that we have three of) and her two fingers on her left hand....they are her security and comfort.
As of this past week, Payton and Preston are sharing a room. Darron built bunk beds (a post and pictures soon to come) and Preston sleeps on the top while Payton sleeps on the bottom in a toddler bed. She has made a SMOOTH transition and we are so proud of her! She is now called our "big girl."
We love this little girl so much and we are so thankful for the joy, happiness, laughter, and love she has brought to our family! Happy second birthday Payton!
