Payton is 6 months old today!






















My little Payton Mai is 6 months old today! I can't believe how fast that half year has gone! As you can see we have alot of fun with her. She has such a fun personality.
Some things about Payton are:
1-She is so happy every morning when you get her out of her crib
2-She has a very big cute smile and shows it often.
3-She loves being carried around by Jackson & Ashlyn & her cousin Hadley
4-She has a yell/scream she does to get our attention (she's #4)
5-She sucks her thumb like Brinley and it is adorable
6-She has slept thru the night since 6 weeks old
7-She likes watching tv (Jackson says especially sports!)
8-She only cries when she is tired, hungry, or otherwise needs something. She is a good baby
9-She is almost sitting up on her own
10-She is a Daddy's girl like the other two girls.
Some of her nicknames so far are: "P" - Sweet Pea -Payts - Payt - Princess P - Lil P - bubs - bubbles - Sis.
She had her 6 month doctor appointment on Friday and she weighs 14 lbs 15 oz and is 27 inches long. That puts her in the 25th percentile for weight and 90th percentile for height. Almost exactly the measurements that Ashlyn was at 6 months. She reminds me alot of Ashlyn as a baby.

Todd Family Cabin Trip!






































We had another fun Todd Family cabin trip. I can't believe we have been doing this for 9 years now. The first year we did it Jackson was 6 days old. Now 4 kids and 9 years later it is still such a blast. We look forward to it as much as Christmas I think! It is so much fun to spend the weekend with all of my family and reconnect! You keep up with everyone but its fun to just hang with everyone and the kids love being able to play with their cousins and develop strong relationships. I am so grateful for such a great family and wonderful parents who raised us to be such great friends with each other.
