Dancing Queen

Our little woman likes to dance. With all the new toys she got from her birthday party, she's been dancing quite a bit lately. Here's a little snippet from this weekend's session.

Happy 1st Birthday Payton!

Sunday was our baby girl's first birthday. I can't believe Payton is already one, it seems just like yesterday that we were racing to the hospital at 2 o'clock in the morning for her arrival. She truly is the best baby in the world. I know all moms and dads think this way, but Payton really is. :) We love being parents - it's the most wonderful, difficult, challenging, beautiful and rewarding thing either of us have ever done... and she's worth every second.

Miss P had a very nice party, our friends and family were here to help her celebrate this special occasion. She had a lot of fun seeing everyone, playing in the water, opening her gifts and eating her cake. It was quite the sight!

Feeding Shadow

Apparently Payton can't get enough of the dog. She's always been fascinated with Shadow, but learning how to feed him was the cream of the crop! I think we watched her tease him for more than 20 minutes, giggling every time she put her hand close to his nose. Everybody loves Goldfish!

What happens when Mommy is at work

Enough said.

NT scan

This morning I had my Nuchal translucency (NT) scan/ultrasound. It was such a relief to see the little bugger and hear it's heart beating. 164bpm! Everything looked good and healthy thank goodness - I've been worrying lately that something was going to be wrong. The tech moved my due date from 2/12 to 2/5, that is SEVEN DAYS LESS that I have to be pregnant! I know, I know - the due date means nothing and the baby will come out when it's ready. But at least *I* feel better.

The baby sucked it's thumb most of the ultrasound, I thought that was so so sweet. :)



I'm still betting my money on this baby being a girl, but we won't know until the end of September. I can't wait!
