Mental Note

We have started going to romp r roll a lot of Tuesdays and Payton is getting really excited anticipating our next visit. Yesterday, she sang the songs most of the day and talked about going last night after I got home. I decided to tell her at bedtime that Jesse and I would be here in the morning and that we would go to romp n roll and see Max tomorrow. Well....this morning (1 hour before her normal time of waking up), she was bright eyed and bushy tailed, jumping and talking in her crib. I went in there after a few minutes and said, "Payton, why did you wake up so early?" She said, "Rompy!" We may wait until the morning to tell her next week!

Potty Time-Not So Soon!

A sure sign that your baby is not ready to start potty training. The other night when we finished bath time, Payton ran out into the living room, peed on the couch, then ran to her room and peed on the floor. Literally, in a matter of a couple of minutes. When her daddy asked her, "Payton, where do you go when you need to pee pee", she responded, "the floor."

First Haircut


Before


During



A little sucker bribery



After


Yesterday, Jesse and I took Payton to get her first haircut at a kids only hair salon. Payton was able to pick out which vehicle/animal she sat in to get her hair cut. She picked the jeep. Cynthia, the lady that cut her hair was awesome. She kept her distracted the whole time while cutting her hair and the time when Payton got a little fidgety, we had a sucker for back-up. Cynthia talked me out of cutting her bangs and recommended growing them out now if we can. She also gave me a few tips on keeping a bow in her hair. For a few extra dollars, we will definitely be visiting them again in the future.

Park Days




Sliding at the Park


Hey Max!


Hey Payton!



Posing by the rockwall


We were able to enjoy our first day at the park yesterday. I can't wait for more of these days to come. Of course, we started at the 2-5 year old playground and that lasted about 5 minutes. Our 2 little brave ones ventured over to the 5 + year old playground and I didn't get any pictures because Heather and I were on the slides with them the whole time. We had a blast and I think it made for a good night's sleep for everyone. Hope everyone is enjoying their own bit of sunshine this weekend.

Romp N Roll


Payton's fave part-the bubble machine

We have been going to Romp N Roll since Payton was 3 months old. We started out in the babies class and are now in a music and gym class. Even though we can't make it every week, everytime we go, she has a blast! It is so educational and so much fun for both of us!

Here are some pics of our last trip:



(Doing balance beam with daddy-he was off with us this day)

This was mine and Jesse's 12th Valentines Day together. They just keep getting better because our little Valentine fills our hearts with so much love everyday. The best present yesterday was having Jesse home (he's been spending endless hours at the tax office this tax season) and being reminded everyday of how great of a father he is to my baby!
