One of my New Year's Resolutions was to be better about blogging. We'll see how I do. As much as I would like to be a good blogger...my track record isn't the greatest. Since I last wrote, A LOT has changed. Brian graduated from the Art Institute of Denver and was then hired by Backflip Studios where he works as an animator, designing games for I-Pods/I-Pads. He LOVES his job and co-workers; I have never seen someone so happy to go to work and still so happy when he returns home. Such a blessing!! Right around that time, he was called to be our ward's executive secretary. He has a crazy busy schedule, but we feel the blessings in our home from his service. I, gratefully, still serve with the young women. What an awesome calling! I love the girls in our ward--37 and counting. However, I had a major change in my lifestyle when I quit my full-time job in early October...to stay home to take care of our sweet baby! That's right, Brian and I are parents!! We have an adorable baby girl who adds so much fun and joy to our lives.
We found out we were expecting a little over a year ago, and our lives have never been the same (in a very good way!). The months leading up to Peyton's birth were slow, but the months since have been flying by! She turned 4 months old this weeks!?! I cannot believe how fast she is growing up.
Peyton enjoys many things: Warm baths, sticking her feet in her mouth, our cheers each time she rolls over, pacifiers, bubbles, pulling my hair, her blanket, the book "One Thumb, Two Thumbs," being held to stand up, cuddling...the list goes on. She has just started the "belly laugh." All of you experienced moms and babysitters and aunts know what I'm talking about. Once she starts, I will do whatever I can to keep it going. It is SO cute. Her other new favorite pastime is receiving attention from strangers. Our little baby hams it up every time she realizes someone is admiring her. She smiles big and giggles for them. Such a crack up!
Brian and I feel very blessed to have such a sweet baby! And we feel so blessed to have each of you in our lives. I promise to try harder to keep you all updated. Until next time...
