Wild Animal Safari

Peyton and I went to visit my brother and his family in their new home at Ft. Benning Georgia. My parents drove us up there last week and we stayed through the weekend. We had a lot of fun visiting with them and seeing Georgia. We went to a Wild Animal Safari and got to drive through the park and feed the animals. It was amazing how they would come up to your window and stick their heads in for food. At first it was a little scary, their tongues were so long and a little to close. The kids had a blast and after I calmed down after the first cow licked me I had fun too!

Here we are headed on Peyton's first Safari.

See how close they get!!

Peyton loved all of the animals. He tried to pet them but Mommy was a little too nervous for that.

The animals were a little slobbery.

It was really neat to be able to see all of these animals up so close.

When they saw the van they would all come running.

Here is my little monkey!

Lions, tigers, and bears OH MY! (We didn't feed them)

The camel was so cute, he came right up to us.

Pictures

We had Peyton's pictures taken again a couple of weeks ago. It was a lot more difficult now that he can crawl off. We got some cute ones so I thought I would share them.

My First Art Lesson

Today at playgroup we did finger painting. I thought Peyton would be a little young for this but he actually had fun playing in the paint. I got one hand print out of him and the rest was just smeared paint but we saved his first picture for his baby book. He also kept trying to wipe the paint on my friends poor dogs. Sorry Jessica if Milo and Maggie are covered in paint.

At first Peyton wasn't so sure about the paint.

But, then decided playing in the paint was so much fun.

Peyton's handprint!

Hey Mom, how come you never let me make a mess like this at home?

Hmmm, what else can I do with all of this paint?

Aren't they so cute just in their diapers?

Peyton loves to swing. I need to get one of these for our back porch.

10 Months Old!

Peyton is 10 months old. I can't believe it. He is going to be 1 so soon. It makes me sad that he is growing up so fast. He is all over the place now, I am sure he will be running in no time. He is talking so much more, he can say ball and uh oh. It is amazing how much they learn on a daily basis.

We had to go back to the doctor this month for a weight check. At Peyton's 9 month appointment the doctor was worried because he had only gained a pound since his 6 month check up. But, after he got weighed this week she said he is back on the charts and is doing well. He weighs 19 pounds and 2 ounces. He is getting so big :(

We watched the Aggie game on Saturday and it was a nail bitter but we ended up winning after a triple over time. Peyton was all geared up for the game and so was Mom. It was a fun weekend with just the three of us. We had some good quality time together. Gig 'Em Aggies!!!

Peyton's Future Prom Date

We had playgroup yesterday and one of my friends had this awesome ball pit that Peyton loved. Here are some pictures of him and his buddy DeLaney playing in it. They are too cute and I think they make a cute couple.

Water Park

Our playgroup went to a water park near our neighborhood. Peyton had a blast, there was water going everywhere. I can't wait to take him back.

All of the bigger kids there wanted to help pull the babies around.
