Peyton Lola Thompson--8 months!!

We have loved having our little Peyton around the last 8 months!!  She has brought so much joy to our lives.  We love you Peytie!!

Thanksgiving!!

We had a super fabulous time in Utah for Thanksgiving! We traveled over on Wednesday with Taylor. It was so nice to spend the day with him! Next year he may be on his mission. It was so nice to have both Lindsay and Julie's house to stay in so there was plenty of room for everyone! Peyton was a great traveler but she did end up with her first cold after the festivities were over but it was still worth it! We enjoyed the yummy food, good company, playing basketball, Tebowing, shopping, watching the LSU game, Baconheads and more! I also enjoyed taking Peyton to be part of the grandkid picture! I had waited many years to be able to do that:) Overall I enjoyed spending time with my family peeps the most!!

Our Little Princess!!

I am not a big Halloween fan but this year was great because I had a little one to dress up! When Peyton was only a couple of weeks old, we purchased a Cinderella dress for Peyton! It was 0-3 months and figured we would have no problem fitting her into it! Little did I know Peyton is a fast grower. Luckily for us the dress did fit it was just a little snug around the arms! We took her to see both sets of grandparents and we went trick or treating to our neighbors homes! I am looking forward to more fun Halloweens with our daughter!!

Trip to Utah

During my time off from work Phil and I decided it would be fun to go to Utah for the weekend and show off our little Peyton to family! We visited the Wilson's and Grandma Thompson up in Roy and spent time with the Smith's and Brinkerhoff's too! We had planned to stay only three days but than Phil had the brilliant idea that Peyton and I stay all week and he would pick us up the following weekend! It was a great trip except for the fact that I got a terrible cold. I got to see Jackson play two football games, went to Madison's school to be her special guest and saw Brooklyn and Reece at dance class! Here are some photos from the week!

Daddy's Girl

As suspected, Peyton has got her Daddy wrapped around her finger. He loves her to pieces! He reads to her and plays with her! He is always helpful with diaper changing and feedings too! He is such a big help and we love him for all he does!

Visitors at the Hospital!

This post is out of order but wanted to put in the pictures of Peyton with all of her visitors while she was in the hospital! She is a very loved little girl. Papa, LouLou, Uncle Taylor, Uncle Josh, and Grandma and Grandpa Thompson were all there after she was delivered. They had waited patiently in the waiting room for her arrival. Uncle Don (Phil's best friend) showed up to because he was on the night shift as a Police Officer in Douglas County. It was so great that they waited until the early hours of the morning to see her!

My favorite roommate Amanda Locke and Melissa and Raluca from work also visited but I don't have pictures:) We are so blessed to have such great families and friends!

Bath Time!

Peyton is still a little unsure about bath time! She always get a look of concern when I put her in the water! Her facial expressions are so funny and she looks concerned quite often.
Her first bath was in the kitchen sink! I can't believe how little she was! She especially likes to have her hair combed during bath time!
I am looking forward to when she enjoys her baths and will splash and play with toys! Wait no, I am enjoying every minute with her and don't wish these days to go any faster! She will grow up soon enough! I just love her!
