Peyton’s Captured Moments

October 2009
(15 months)

• Gets super excited when she seems animals. Ducks and cows are favorites.

• Started jabbering a ton. Loves to especially hold up a phone to her ear and do this.

• Signs “all done”

• Loves Dancing! This girl has got some serious rhythm. Anytime she hears any type of beat, her body is moving and bouncing and going to town. As soon as we get in the car, she starts yelling and banging her head to inform me that she would like the music on. As soon as I turn it on, she moves and grooves the entire car ride. It's so cute.

• Likes to get a reaction out of us. If we laugh, she thinks she’s so funny and continues to do it multiple times. Example: She loves to put clothes over her face and walk around without being able to see. Running into our pillars is a regular occurrence.

• Recognizes and says the word “dog” and “duck”

• Has mastered tantrum throwing. A couple stomps, throw self on ground, roll around kicking, screaming….a few seconds of silence to see if anyone is watching or paying attention, and then the previous steps repeated.

• Loves to back up into us and sit on our lap.

• Blows kisses

• Makes huge cheese faces! All the sudden she will say “chee” (cheese) smile from ear to ear with her eyes shut. It’s so funny and so cute!

• Loves Baby Einstein. This girl can't sit still for 10 seconds. Until she discovered these movies. She will sit in amazement and watch forever. She yells at the TV every time a different animal comes on TV. Lately, she finds the movie case and carries it around the house following me while standing on her tiptoes and jabbering to me. She seriously will not stop doing this until I turn it on.

• Folds her arms for prayers

• Thinks it is hilarious to wait until I am looking and then rip her diaper off and run around waiting for me to catch her.

• Saw Uncle Dustin’s picture in her book and kept turning back to it, pointing at him and saying, “Dus, Dus!”

• Mastered the stairs! Yeah.

• Loves sneaking into the pantry to get treats. Lately, she goes in and closes the door (there’s not much room in there) so she won’t be seen, eats the treat and then comes running out to show me the wrapper or the fact that she took a few bites without getting caught.

• Hates getting dressed. She has hated this since the day she was born. But lately, it is so bad. The funny thing is, she gets clothes from Hallie’s drawer all time and just wants to carry them around or take them to bed with her.
