21 Months

Payton is 21 months old!! Right now she is our little entertainer. She loves to sing and dance. She sings around the house, at the dinner table and on our walks. She dances to music or even to her own tunes. Her cousin, Taylor, gave her a box of hand-me-downs, which included a pair of white dress shoes. These have become her dancing shoes, which she puts on every time she wants to dance... even after they gave her blisters. :)

She is talking up a storm. She mostly babbles still, but can say a lot of words when she wants to. A few new words are sorry (which she's had to say to Nolan quite a bit), color, boat, snack, water and up please. She talks constantly and I'm sure it's going to continue the better she gets at words.

She still loves her brother, sometimes a little too much. She loves helping me change his diaper, burp him and carry him in the carseat. However, she's not always so nice to him. She tried to stick his finger up his nose, hit him on the head with a sandal, poked him in the eye and various other things. She's slowly learning that he can get hurt, unlike her baby doll. All in all, she does really well with him we just have to keep a close eye on her.
