A whole new ball game

Everything in our house has become a toy to Peyton. I love watching her explore and figure out how things work. We have baby proofed the house (besides finishing up the cabinets) but I am still constantly having to watch her and tell her, "Peyton, no touch," to which she normally looks at you and laughs....oh, my strong willed child!

Here she is grabbing onto the curtains in the living room....

Here she is in the cabinet discovering the pots and pans and how to open and close the cabinet...Here she is exploring the door and the door stop.....

I have a video of her actually playing with the door stop but as soon as I tried to take photos she of course stopped and started modeling...seriously what kind of pose is this and where did she learn this from....


Also now that she can easily get herself from her tummy to sitting she immediately gets herself sitting up when you put her down for her nap, plays with her moose a little bit, talks to herself and then gets back down for her nap. It is pretty funny! And whenever you get her now you will be greeted with her sitting up! That takes some getting used to!
Nine months is turning out to be a whole lot of fun! I am liking this new found curiosity and ability to explore. It is also helping out with her being more independent and learning to entertain herself and be without mommy all the time. She is turning out to be a wild and silly little girl and I am loving every moment of it (well, besides the random middle of the night waking up)!

Finally I leave you with Peyton's first piece of artwork that she made at a play date yesterday. It was her Father's Day craft. Yes, I was bold and let her put paint on her hands and surprisingly we all survived with no paint on our clothes!

Too cute. I can't believe how fast she is growing up. We put cabinet latches on all kitchen cabinets except for 1. That one is for Levi and has safe things in it for him to play with. He loves to stack cups from Astros games.
