Paiton is ONE!

Paiton is already one year old, it is crazy how time has gone by so fast. Now that Paiton is one, she enjoys walking everywhere, and I mean everywhere, she refuses to be held or put in the stroller for too long, she is our little explorer. Paiton also LOVES music and dancing her new favorite is ring around the rosies. Paiton still doesn't like to eat but she is obsessed with chocolate and since her Grandma Ginger has been visiting she has discovered mini mmnm's and gummy bears.


Paiton had a Elmo birthday party, I really don't like Elmo but Paiton can't get enough of him. We all had a great time with friends and family. Paiton loved all her presents, but especially enjoys her keyboard. She is our liitle Motzart.

Oct and Nov.

Sorry I haven't posted pics in a while, we have been super busy and our computer is dowm again for the second time in two months. Luckily Clint is able to fix it on his own!We also got a new camera so we have tons of pictures.Paiton had a great first Halloween and looked so adorable as a ladybug. We went to our ward's trunk or treat and on Halloween went over to Grandma's house.


Aunt Sarah came to visit this past week and we had a great time together, we wish she could have stayed longer.



We went to the San Diego Zoo this week and fell in love with all the animals. We were amazed to see so many of God's beautiful creations. Paiton loved the animals especially the baby gorilla, polar bears, and flamingos. If you haven't been there before you should definetly plan a trip it is worth the drive and money.








On Vetrans day we played disc golf or as Clint likes to call it "Frolfing". It was super fun and Paiton was a trooper in her jogging stroller. Our arms were so sore the next day, from lack of exercise, but it was really fun.

Happy Halloween

Paiton is nine months old

Time is flying by so fast...Paiton is already nine months old. We had her check up yesterday and she is the 50th percentile for both height and weight. Paiton is still as curious as ever and loves to explore. Paiton's personality is so funny, she makes me laugh everyday...she is incredibly stubborn and sneaky...the other day she opened the pantry and somehow got out the baking soda and spilled it everywhere and thought it would be a great snack too. Paiton also loves other babies and kids, she is always trying to kiss other kids...watch out. She kisses babies, but she bites her mommy, we should dress her up as a vampire for Halloween instead of a ladybug. Anyway, we are so in love with Paiton she is so adorable, hope you like the pics.

Tall Ships Festival

This past weekend we spent the day at the Tall Ships Festival at Dana Point Harbor. The weather was perfect, the food was great, the ships were cool, and the pirates were out in full force. We really loved all the pirates, they take reinactments very serious...Clint and I wondered if these pirates actually had day jobs, they were too convincing.
The ocean institute in on the harbor there, so Paiton was able to see all kinds of sea life and even a bird show. Paiton loves animals, you could say she is obsessed. It is so awesome to watch her little eyes light up when she sees something for the very first time.

Paiton at 8 months

8 Months

Today Paiton is eight months old, I can't believe it- she is getting so big. Paiton got her first tooth yesterday (bottom right), I thought the day would never come. Now that Paiton is eight months old she loves to stand on everything, she has been pulling herself up on furniture for about a month now...tables,chairs, couches, and she especially loves to stand up in her crib when she is supposed to be sleeping. Paiton also loves food now, mostly meat, I know gross, but I am just happy that she is eating. I weighed Paiton yesterday and she is 19lbs, we will be buying a new car seat pretty soon. Paiton is still not sleeping through the night, but last night she only woke up once, although I woke up several times anticiapting her waking up.
We are so in love with our precious baby and thank our Heavenly Father every day for blessing us with her, we can't imagine our lives without her.
We will post pics soon, our computer needs to be fixed and I am not sure how to download pics to the labtop.
