Payton's 1

We celebrated Payton's 1st birthday this weekend. Sammy's parents and Roe's gang came up to San Antonio. It was a fun weekend. We swam and ate. I was feeling guilty that we weren't having a big party for Payton like we did for Rory, but it just didn't make sense. Payton had her own special purple cake and the rest of us had a Princess cake(Rory's request for Payton). She's taking more and more steps. Says "bruff, bruff" when she sees Bogey. Says, "three" when we say one, two... Says "done" when she is all done eating. Says "nite-nite". She has pretty much stopped nursing. I have nursed her once in the middle of the night when I don't want to get a bottle. She is sleeping a lot better and is sleeping pretty well from 730pm to about 7am. We have tried cow's milk, but she doesn't seem to fond of it. I have been mixing it with formula, hoping to trick her into getting use to it. She wants to eat anything that we eat and lately has really liked CapriSuns. Probably because Rory drinks them. She is much more daring than Rory was. She climbs onto the couch from the air mattress on the floor. She wants to pull on plugs, open cabinets. She has her two bottom teeth and the two top have come through. Two more on either side of the front two are about to push through. She is very into bubbles right now. I have forgotten how simple and entertaining they are. She is wearing 12 month clothes and I think size 3 shoes, although her feet seem thicker/fatter than Rory's were. At our 12 month checkup she was 21 pounds 4 ounces and 29 inches, both 50th percentile. She just really seems like she is growing fast!!
