Weddings and football...

Hello on 10-10-10! I still have a hard time believing it's October already. The weather here has been very weird, one morning it will be cold and rainy, and in the afternoon it will be muggy and hot. Then the next day it will be beautiful without a cloud in the sky... then back to the rain. I try and remind myself to enjoy the nice days, because they're probably numbered as we move further into the fall season.

On Saturday Lindsey and her mom, sisters, and Sue picked me up and we went to her dress fitting appointment. I can't post pictures of it (we don't want Bryan to see!) but she looked beautiful and it will look even better when they make it fit perfectly. Afterwards we went to David's Bridal so her sisters Madeline and Emma (and myself) could try on bridesmaid dresses, and her mom Melanie even found a dress too, so it was definitely a successfull shopping trip! I didn't buy a dress, because I'm not quite in wedding shape yet :) Still too much baby weight! My whole body is different since having a baby, I'm sure I probably won't ever be as small as I used to be. But I can continue to try to tighten and tone up!

Rick drove up from Albany to watch the Duck game with Kyle and to see Payton, so when we were done at David's we headed back to my house. Sue got Payton an adorable cheerleading outfit, complete with shoes, tights and headband. She looked so cute!





Playing with my shoes

SO cute!

We watched some more football, fed Payton, bathed her and put her to bed. It was a very good day :)

Kyle's friend from class got married today in Troutdale, so we got Payton all dressed up to go!

Mom even put a bow in my hair!



Payton has been doing really well sitting up, and last night when she was on her tummy she even kept bringing her knees up, and it looked like she was almost about to get on all fours. The problem is keeping her on her tummy long enough to do that :) Her teachers at Wee Care told me that she's started to "scoot" when she's on her back to move around, which they said they don't see very often. I actually took her to the doctor this week for a rash she has under her chin from drooling so much, and while she was there I had her check her ears too, just in case. She said they looked fine, and that colds usually bother the parents more than the babies. They weighed her too, and she weighs 20 pounds! No wonder I'm having a hard time carrying her around :) She has been really funny when she eats her bottles lately. Usually she is all business, and wants her milk as fast as possible. Recently she's been using it as a teether, and likes to put the nipple in the side of her mouth and gnaw on it. Also, since she's holding her own bottle now, for some reason she likes to take it out, look around, then start eating again... then take it out again to look around and see what's going on. She's pretty funny to watch!



I made a blog book of just my pregnancy, if you're interested in a copy let me know and I can tell you how to order it. I'm also planning on making one with all the posts during Payton's first year, but that one obviously won't be coming out for several more months :) I think it's so neat that you can print your blog into book form and make it a keepsake!

Happy birthday Grandpa Casebolt and Aunt Tanya!
