Our Girls

I know I have not added any pictures in a while....sorry. On Saturday I tried my hand at being the photographer for the girls. It did not go quite as well as I had hoped, but got a few pictures of them nonetheless. I apologize for Riley's crazy grin and was not able to capture Payton with one of her big smiles. I will keep trying, but for now these will have to do.

On Tuesday, Payton will be 3 months already! My how the time is just flying. This week will be my second full week and her first week at daycare. Mom was so nice and stayed with us last week to help me transition back to working mom again. This week will be the true test of getting two kids out the door on time and getting myself to work on time as well (actually I like to get there early, since I have things to accomplish before the arrival of the kids.) She continues to grow and change every day. No idea how much she weighs now, but we know she is constantly growing heavier and longer too. She teased me by sleeping through the night for 6 nights in a row, but has been up once the past 3. Guess I got excited too early. She is becoming more active, perfecting her smile, and finding her voice. I keep trying to capture this but when I try, she becomes completely silent. Hoping she adjusts fine to being at daycare.

Riley continues loving being a big sister. She is also excited that Payton will now be at the same place that she is. She has done an excellent job at transitioning back to going to preschool/daycare all day long. She continues to amaze us with how smart and grown up she is getting! Recently she has begun spelling out some words and is always asking us how to spell words so that she can write them out. It is too cute. The best are the notes she puts in daddy's lunch. She writes her name, then mommy, and then from. I know it brings a smile to Mike's face when he opens his lunch to see the note! We are so proud of the big girl that she is....and how well she has done with the changes over the past 3 months.
