I love fall! The weather gets a little cooler, football starts, and so do most of our TV shows... Kyle and I were counting the other day, and we were shocked when we realized that together we watch 10 shows per week. Yes, you heard that correctly! Thank goodness for DVR, because there is NO way we have time to watch all that TV! Another reason I love the fall is because it's when Kyle and I got married. In just one week, it will be our 2 year anniversary (and Payton will be 7 months old!). Amazing how the time has flown!

Our little Lions fan :)

This last Saturday Kyle and I took Payton down to her grandparent's house in Albany for the night. We were going to a wedding in Salem which is less than half an hour away, so it worked out really great. Unfortunately for the bride and groom, the wedding was outside and it poured! It was still beautiful though, and the reception was indoors so it was all good :) It was so fun to see so many old college friends in one place, it was like a reunion!

With the beautiful bride Pearl! Kyle and Pearl were roommates with a couple other friends during Kyle's sophomore year, which is when she started dating her new husband Ryan. Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Green!

We drove back to Albany late Saturday night and had a laidback Sunday visiting with friends and family. She got to see a lot of people who haven't seen her since she was really little, everyone was amazed at how much she's grown!

Sitting up like a big girl at Grandma and Grandpa's house. I'm THIS close to being able to do it on my own!

I laugh now when I'm put on my stomach because I think it's hilarious to roll over!

Payton had her flu shot today. It was one combined with the regular flu shot, and also H1N1. I guess the first year she has it she has to get it twice, 4-6 weeks apart. Bummer! She was awesome though, didn't cry or even make a face. Kyle and I didn't even think it had happened yet, but the nurse said we were all done! She continues to do really great at Wee Care. Everyone keeps telling me how great she's adjusted and that she greets everyone with a smile. When I went to visit her at lunch the other day she was visiting the dragonfly room, so I have a feeling she may move up soon. The only thing we really need to work on with her there is her nap schedule. She takes really good naps at home, but there is so much going on at Wee Care that she doesn't want to go to sleep. She usually passes out the second I put her in her carseat to go home because she's so exhausted! Still no teeth, but I'm wondering if one is about to come in really soon... she's usually a great sleeper and doesn't make a peep all night, but the last couple nights she's been waking up a lot very irritable. She seems to calm down with a teething tablet though. Who knows, I've been fooled before! We've had our own little bedtime routine since she was about 3 months old. She usually eats some dinner, gets a bath, a massage with some lotion, and we've just started incorporating a bedtime story in before we put her in her crib. Her bedtime is 7:30, and she sleeps until we get her up in the morning for Wee Care. She's tried squash and turkey lately, so her diet (and appetite) is continuing to expand. Now that she's really figured out rolling over, she'll stay on her stomach for maybe 2 seconds before she flips. She thinks it's hilarious, the second you put her on her stomach she starts to giggle and then slowly make her way over. She's also started reaching for you when you're about to pick her up, which makes me melt. Growing more everyday!

Right now my day off is Monday, and although it's nice to have 3 day weekends, working 4 ten hour shifts in a row is pretty exhausting... by the time Friday rolls around I am definitely glad it's the weekend! Here's to hoping the week just flies by... :)
