Charlotte, Payton and Santa!!!

Well this past Thursday Mel had her BEAUTIFUL baby girl Charlotte Paula Archer and I couldn't resist posting a picture of the little sweetheart! I took a lot of cute pictures, but turns out I'm not the professional photographer I sometimes pretend to be ;-) ha ha, I am SO glad you hired a photographer to take her newborns Mel.....I am just so happy for Mel and Ryan they are going to have such a great Christmas with this little sweetie! Congratulations!!!!!

And can you believe it, Payton is 9 MOnths Old! She is just the happiest baby ever (well, as long as we are not at the movies, church, or anywhere else that it might be convenient to behave) She really is wonderful though, we love her so much!


Payton at 9 Months.....
-20.5 Pounds, 28.5 Inches
-Just barely started rolling a couple weeks ago so crawling is pretty much out of the question....
-Loves all solid foods, favorite is graham crackers
-Says "momma" "dadda" and "bubba"
-loves to eat paper, the remote, my phone, and small pieces of lint conveniently found in the carpet
-could stare at herself in the mirror all day, but her favorite is to stare at herself when dad is holding her!
-Has 6 chompers, the bottom 2 came in at 4 months and the top for popped through at 8 months
-Thinks Kaden is so funny!
-Is a pretty great sleeper, other than the occasional 6:00 am feeding but I'm not complaining
-still hates the bottle/loves momma
-doesn't have much hair to speak of but we're working on it!
-likes to copy anything you are doing with your mouth, especially if you are eating anything she MUST have it!
-loves to growl at you



Also, we took the kids to see Santa tonight...pictures turned out OK considering Payton was screaming about 15 seconds before this was taken. Kaden was so excited all day to see Santa and tell him that he wanted the Diego game for the Wii (anyone have it? I have been trying to find a good age-appropriate game we could get him for the Wii???) but of course as soon as we got to see him Kaden immediately froze, nothing to say, could barely even move. At least he didn't cry though. So, Seasons Greetings 2008! Thanks Kiddie Kandids for this $20.00 5x7, you are making a fortune!

Can Payton be any more adorable! I love her! I can't believe she is already 9 months! Who need hair when you have head bands and adorable bows?! Miss you, love you!
