Peyton Ali

Peyton is getting so big! She is 22 month and getting more and more beautiful every day. She is full of character! When she says "thank you" it comes out "taint chew". "Please" is "Peas". "Chris" is "Riss". "Bentley" is "mom-mi-a"(not sure the reasoning on that one)."Shoes" and "juice" sound the same with "chush". She's pretty good with "mom" "dad" "cheese" "granma" and her favorite "bampa". A cell phone and head phones "Ello". She says alot more, it just in her 'I'm a cute kid' dialog and we're still working on interpruting it:)

She's a great sister! As a big sister, she get's diapers, throws the dirty one's away. She likes to put his blankets on him. She loves to kiss him whenever she feels like it. She will give him toys if he's playing on the ground or swinging in his swing. And if she see's that he's spit up and we haven't noticed, she'll grab a burp cloth and wipe it up. Her newest thing is she likes to come and sit on your lap and hold Bentley on her lap. She likes to put his binkie in his mouth for him if it falls out, even if he's asleep.

As a little sister, she likes to wrestle with Chris. If he's wrestling with me and Ben, she'll take Ben's side and get whoever he's getting. Chris and Peyton play downstairs all the time. He likes to tickle her and she loves to scream like he's so scary. She watches him, mesmorized, when he's goofing around or doing his cartwheels. She's already 3/4 as tall as him so she just thinks she's a big kid too:)

Peyton loves to clean! If she gets toys out, she loves for you to sing "clean u, clean up, everybody everywhere....". She'll clean the whole room if you keep singing the song(not that she knows where everything goes, and it's usually messier then when she started if you don't guide her, but she thinks it's "cleaning"). She also loves to push around my swiffer. She wants me to take her clothes off and put her in the sink next to where I'm doing dishes. She get's the little dust pan and broom out and will push stuff around on the floor with it. She get's her wash cloth in the bathtub and rubs it up and down the walls of the shower. She'll use her hand and brush crumbs away on the table when she's sitting there. She loves to grab the dirty laundry out of the dirty clothes baskets and put them in the washer when I'm starting a batch. She also likes to sit in front of the drier and "help" me put the wet laundry in. She also loves to "help" fold laundry(by taking the stuff I've already folded and moving it to another part of the basket and setting in down.) The only cleaning she doesn't like is the vaccum! She hates it! She runs away and because she doesn't like the loud noise. She doesn't like the blow dryier either. She loves to get in the shower with her daddy....every day! She likes her hair to be done and when it is, she likes me to put in a "cute"! A cute is anything that goes in her hair, a bow, a clip, or a flower. She loves outside, though it's hard to get out there much in this cold. She loves her stroller and walks. We also have a cart behind Ben's bike that she enjoys. She likes swimming. She is almost always happy! She is so much fun to have around and loves her family. She does everything to please those around her. And if she gets a high 5 or a pound it, she's thrilled:) We love her very much and wouldn't trade her for ANYTHING!
