Peyton isn't crawling yet, but can sure move around and somehow managed to get caught in the Christmas tree lights! It was kinda sad and funny!

Fiesta Bowl Parade/Ikea

Today we went to the fiesta bowl parade in Phoenix! We saw John Cena, Darth Vador, and my favorite part, was seeing the big group of Air Force men and women. Everyone was cheering and clapping and it was so cool to show them that we really appreciate their sacrifices and services! Go military! woohoo! Then we went to Ikea! I love that store. The nearest Ikea is about 300 miles away from us back in Illinois. I got some cute pictures of Peyton checking out the different furniture and toys. Her favorite song is the one with the monkies teasing Mr. Alligator and then Mr. Alligator comes and snatches a monkey out of the tree? i think it is called "5 little monkeys." Ok that sounds bad, but its a cute song and she loves it, and my mom and I saw a long stuffed alligator animal and she loves it so i got it for her. I will have to video her with it sometime. Its so cute. :)

Peyton Dancing!

Peyton tries chicken baby food for the first time!

Temple Lights

Tonight Peyton and I went out to Phoenix to visit a couple of my friends from High School. We went to my friend Tony's house where I met his wife Danielle and their adorable son Tristin. My friend Eddie and Nate were also there. We had a yummy barbeque and watched the Wiggles with the babies! They are 4 days apart in age! They were so cute!

Peyton's 9 month Birthday!

Today was Peyton's nine month Birthday, and we were at Sweet Tomatoes, and there was a big group of people at a table nearby that were celebrating a birthday and had a huge cake and tons on helium balloons. One lady from the group came over and gave Peyton a balloon that said, "Happy Birthday" on it and then when she walked by again I told her that it was her 9 month old Birthday today. She had an extra balloon and gave Peyton another one. Then she brought over a piece of cake for all of us too! huge pieces. wow. she made it a good birthday experience for Peyton. She had a few tastes of cake and really liked the balloons too. We moved her cake away so she wouldnt get it everywhere and she kept staring at it intently! It was so cute too. I can't wait for her 1st Birthday! It's going to be awesome!
