Peyton Turns 1!

Happy Birthday to my little sweetheart! It seems like such a miracle that we've got to have you part of our family for the last year. After losing not one but two babies your dad and I had resolved that having another baby wasn't in the cards for us. We didn't let your brothers and sister know that we were expecting you right away. We didn't want them to be sad in case we lost you. Bailey even said one day that if we had a baby and it was a girl she should be named Peyton. Dad and I just looked at each other and knew we were expecting, and that your name would be Peyton if you were a girl, and smiled. We had such a good feeling about you! I had a bad dream one night that daddy brought me a baby girl from heaven. The bad part was that daddy was in heaven too. We were VERY nervous up until we had you. Once we had you in our arms we couldn't quite believe we actually had you here. We had you at 11:00 am and brought you home that night at 10:00pm. We couldn't get over how chubby you were. You weighed in at 9 pounds! Of course you lost weight right away and have been a little runt ever since. Your first tooth appeared at five months right around the time you were learning to sit up! You started to crawl at six months and last month started walking! You are such a smart, happy, beautiful baby. We LOVE you soooo much! Happy Birthday Peyton!
