Holiday fun and a Few Days shy of 14 months

I seriously don't think our peanut could be any cuter! Have you seen anything like it?! Diane bought her this snowsuit for her first birthday so she would be ready for the snow and Zack and I picked up the matching hat! That "Hannah Anderson" is to DIE for. We got ALL bundled up and went with both grandmas and the Leppin's to take a walk down the holiday street in our neighborhood. This street is amazing. We did go a little early so not all the houses were lit up but you still get the effect. I always laugh because Payton is definitely the daughter of an electrician. Whenever she shes big sparkly lights she say "ooooooo"! it doesn't have to be Christmas lights ... it could be a chandelier,etc. This girl thinks lights are so fun!

Cousins all decked out! YaYa got them blinking Christmas light necklaces. They both LOVED them

Davis girls!

Payton is just a few day shy of 14 months which just absolutely amazes me as well as the milestones she has accomplished. She has the BEST personality.Although we have gotten to see a little here and there of what you would call the beginnings of tantrums. Even with her mini tantrums she is the sweetest funniest toddler already. We have already talked about what a walker she is and now she is running. She learned at "Aunt NaNa's" house what stairs are and how to climb up them. Oh boy. Why did we teach her that,lol? She loves climbing and now that she realized that there is something to climb everybody watch out and put your baby gates up! Another physical milestone that she is slowly making is eating with her own spoon. I scoop it up. Hand it to her and she scoops whatever she is eating right into her mouth. Its wild to see this Independence when she still a baby to me in my mind.Payton is off bottles except her bedtime bottle which we will get serious about at 14 months. i have slowly been watering the bottle down to make her not like it so much anymore. If I must admit she probably would be fine without it but I selfishly sad to give it up because no bottles means a true toddler. Which she is anyways it's just hard for mommy to come to the realization : (. Payton has understood A LOT of language for a while now but she is talking and replying a lot more now. You ask her what a kitty,lion,pig,etc. says and she will reply with the correct sound. She is starting to say "YaYa" and "Nana" now. She says "Papa" and has turned grandma Kerruish into "Ma". All these nicknames have come from us looking at pictures and doing call and repeat. Payton is also starting to say dog and kitty. She will in her good time say "Hi" and "Bye". She like to play telephone and hold the phone up to her ear and say "HIIIIIIIIIIIII".She is a happy go lucky kid. Super goofy. She has recently decided that she wants to try to do handstands. Where she got this.... I have no idea. Although she would make her mommy proud being a born gymnast ,lol. She will start in a tripod and the literally try to kick her leg up. It is fun to have my little cuddlier back. We lost her for a bit but she loves now to run into your arms. I caught her the other day melting my heart. I was sitting on the couch and she walked right over,rubbed my leg, and put her head in my lap. So sweet. Payton's favorite activities right now are for you to chase after her saying "I'm gonna get you , I'm gonna get you" and reading her books over and over again. I can't even wait to see what she does next. I Love watching her and seeing how her brain works. We love you Payton.... You are the best thing that happened to mommy and daddy!
