Peyton's First Birthday

Well, believe it or not Peyton is a year old already! That went by so fast, and yet sometimes it feels like he's been with us forever. He weighs 24 pounds and is in the 75 percentile in weight and the 25th in height. He is in the 95th percentile in head circumference, that is why none of his shirts want to go over his head! He is not walking quite yet but I really think it could be any day now. He finally got his first teeth in January and he is cutting his top ones right now. He is doing better eating regular foods now that he can chew.

We had a party for him on Saturday, Feb 10th and had a good turnout of family members at our house. The theme was Baby Einstein and we decorated our basement accordingly. Lara came home for the party and she gave him a Peyton Manning jersey since she always calls him that it was very fitting. And he looks very much like a football player anyways so this just fits him well.

Here are some pictures from that day!

Nicolette

A few weeks ago we were able to go over to Aunt Pat's house and visit with Natalie and Nicolette. Natalie is due with her second baby anytime and Eric and Uncle Mel were going to paint Nicolette's room for her so they decided to come up and stay a few days with Pat. So we took the boys over and they got a chance to play together while we got a chance to chat and play cards. It was a fun day!

Aunt Cheri and Uncle Steve

Aunt Cheri and Uncle Steve weren't able to make it up during Christmas time so they decided to come up for a weekend in January instead. It was really great to see them and we wish we were able to more often.

Bowling

Over Christmas we decided that it would be fun to take Jensen bowling for the first time. He had seen some people doing it on TV and told me he wanted to try what he calls "balling". So anyways, while Net and Dave and Lara were home we decided we would all go together and it was a lot of fun. He did pretty well it just took forever for the ball to get down the lane and a few times it stopped completely and we had to get someone to come get it.
