Tailgating

Here are a few pictures from the first few football game tailgates!

I Phone Pictures

Walking

Payne is finally walking! I was surprised when I went to pick him up from school on Tuesday, September 27 and his teacher told me she had a surprise for me! He walked to me and then he walked out to the car! I was so excited we drove straight to Ryan's office to show him and everyone else!

Getting Caught Up

We have been super busy over the past few weeks with football season, getting into the swing of school, and just everyday life. We have celebrated Jillian and Brody's birthdays, taken a trip to Little Rock, had a garage sale, gotten our second haircut, Ryan and I joined a gym, and much much more! With all of that I have some pictures during this time I wanted to share. 

 

First Steps

Payne took his first steps while we were taking his 12 month pictures. I was so happy that Meredith was able to capture the moment! We can't thank her enough for everything she did for us over Payne's first year! I was pretty sad at 13 months when we didn't go take pictures. Things didn't seem right! 

 

Smash Cake

Well better late than never!

You can judge for yourself how the smash cake went!

 

Mr. Independent

 Payne has become much more independent lately!

He is starting to be a much better eater! We will actually pick up his food and feed himself! Most nights we have to start with using a fork, but then he gets tired of that and throws it aside and uses his hands. While I am so glad he is feeding himself, he is the slowest eater ever! I am so glad though because now we can all join meals together.

 He loves to brush his teeth and take a bath. Taking a bath used to be a HUGE struggle for us and he would scream the whole time and hold on to the side. Now he will play and brush his teeth. He will let you know when he is done because he will start cleaning up his toys.

We let his run around a little bit after bath time. He is into just about everything. We were hanging up some new clothes the other night and he started climbing on the box and then into his chair. Then he rocked himself.
