Hemangioma Update

 A few months ago I told you about Payne's hemangioma that is on his right elbow. It has really faded and smoothed out over the past few weeks.  It used to be raised a little bit and kind of feel bumpy, but now it is smooth and is starting to get lighter.

Payne Stewart

 Several weeks ago we went by the Payne Stewart Golf Course. Payne is named after Payne Stewart so we want to take him there. They have several collectibles of Payne Stewart's that were fun to see and read about.

Hopefully our Payne will grow up to be a great golfer like Payne Stewart!

Ice Cream Date

Payne and I went to get ice cream after school today. I hardly ever get to pick him up before 4 and he has napped. So today, I was and so we went to Cherry Berry and got some frozen yogurt. Our favorite! 

He really enjoyed sitting outside and waving at all the people coming and going.

 

He had to have his own spoon and feed himself because he is a such a big boy.

Pumpkin Patch

 

 Ryan and I took Payne to the pumpkin patch this weekend. He loved looking for pumpkins and crawling in the hay. He wasn't into smiling for the camera because there was so much more going on around him. Maybe next year we can try out the corn maze and pony rides.

Beautiful Weather

 We have had some beautiful weather these past few weeks. Payne loves to be outside. He waves and blows kisses when I ask him if he wants to go outside. He is still unsure of walking in the grass, but we will learn. He loves to just walk up and down the sidewalk or push his lawn mower.  He also into playing peek-a-boo. I love these pictures. He is getting so big!

Toy Box

Well as you already know I have the best daddy ever! You might remember last July before Payne was born Papa built Payne a bassinet. If you don't know about that please click here and read.

Well this year for Payne's 1st birthday Papa built Payne a toy box.

When he was in Colorado in the spring he pick up some wood from the pine trees that are being killed from the beetles. We refer to it as beetle pine, but it is really called blue-stained lodge pole pine. He built it, and stained the outside. It has some great detail in it! The front has a half inch cut off so that he can't slam his hands in it and the hinges don't allow it to slam either! It also have a top little bucket in it that can slide from side to side! We couldn't be more proud of him and his beautiful gift!

Thanks Papa!
