peyton:
it's fun watching peyton grow. she's gettin so much better at walking. and she loooves to put shoes on too. she's exploring every nook and cranny of the house and her toys. she loves to put things in and out of boxes and containers. she like to shake things that make noise. she even knows sign language and can sign more, please and eat. and when she doesn't wanna eat anymore she turns her head of spits it out (hah) and points and grunts when she wants something. and this girl LOVES to eat!!! she can eat way more than her sister and she isn't picky either. she climbs up anything-her favorite is to climb up the kitchen stool, chairs and the stairs. i love that she understands the concept of some things-like how a brush is to your hair-which she tries to do, or when she tries to put a headband or hat on, or she'll take my cell phone and put it to her ear and say hello, or she takes the remote control and points it at the tv or finds a purse and tries to put it on her arm. she's learning a lot. i love that she uses her little index finger and thumb to grab food or things-soo dainty, lady-like. or how she does a little cute chuckle liie a sheep when something makes her happy whether its putting shoes or sock on, eating or watching dora. and she undertands-if you tell her to go get her sippy cup she'll go get it or get your baby-she'll go get her baby. she's soooo cute! i'm soo amazed and sooo thankful for her.
and she's learned a few words too:
mama
mae-mee (mama)
papa
aaaa-tay
be-bee (baby)
elmo
de-de (dora)
ba (ball)
ni-nite (night night)
beat (fresh beat)
boo
heh-low (hello)
behr, beh-ber (bear-as in cousin lukey bear)
ah-la

taylor:
it's amazing how fast she's growing too. she's like a lil grown-up. too old for her own age already. scary and she's only 3 1/2. she's gotten real good at writing and sounding out workds and drawing and riding her dora tricycle. and although she still is jealous, i would say she's gotten a lot better. she takes care of her sister a lot more. i love how they interact. the best part is when taylor makes peyton laugh. ah, priceless and precious! she's still in dance and still in pee wee sports through the city. oh my what next. i'd like to put her in piano lessons and who knows-gymnastics would be nice too.

mama & papa:
i'm soo glad the stomach flu is over for us all and thankful that papa didn't get it. we're still trying to work everything out with the whole accident thing. our car was deemed a total wreck so we've been driving the martinez minivan around-very thankful we have a free car to drive. we're just waiting for that guy's insurance to pay off our car then we can proceed to get a new one. papa's been working hard as usual and doing a great job at taking care of and providing for our family. as for myself, i've been praying about entering into the workforce again-just subbing. so we'll see.
