new blog location

hi everyone, mommy and i are beta testing a new website for our friend matt. it's a cool new site that allows you to crate stories instead of blog entries. you'll get to see it when you check out mommy and daddy's trip to new mexico. so for the time being paytonpie.blgospot.com is on hiatus and you can find all my goings on at www.paytonpie.com it's mine, cool, huh?

for now here's a teaser from mommy and daddy's vacation

engineer or mad scientist??

mommy is convinced i'm going to follow in daddy's footsteps and be and engineer or something mechanically inclined. grandma said she had to give him a bowling ball to play with as a kid 'cause it was the only thing he couldn't take apart. i like to see how things work too as you can see from this video mommy took.

or, i could just end up being a mad scientist based on the hair. i think it could go either way at this point.

hi

mommy was able to get a video of me saying hi this morning. it was totally unexpected. all she was trying to get was some footage of us together. so i decided to pull out the big guns and give her something special.

head and shoulders, knees and toes...

mommy has been teaching me about my different body parts. i know my head, ears, eyes, nose and feet. we're working on knees. i usually end up poking myself in they eye and my finder always ends up in my nose. mommy and daddy have been working on that one 'cause it's not very lady like.

my head


my ears


my nose...just aweful


my mouth


here are my toes


my belly


and mommy's belly



my vocabulary is also expanding. here's a list of my words:

dog
light
shoes
keys
milk & water
crackers
eat
bye-bye
hi

granted only those who are around me a lot are able to understand many of those words but at least mommy does and i can start communicating my needs to her.

wow! that was a lot of blogging. sorry to bombard you with three post in one day.

camcorder

mommy finally decided to buy a camcorder to capture all the cute things i do. she got a flip. which is a great little camera that will store 60 minutes of video on a flash memory so there are no tapes involved. just plug it into a usb port and get started. plus the camera is super small, which she loves. this is a video she took of me this morning eating my eggs with a fork. so look forward to seeing me in action on my blog this year.

visit to the dentist

i had my first visit to the dentist today. don't let the photos fool you, i was not happy about the visit. for starters i'm not feeling very good as i have a cold. second, i do not like people poking around in my mouth. but, it had to be done. dr babot said my teeth are ahead of schedule. my bicuspids are getting ready to poke through and those done usually show up till around two. i'll have 16 teeth then. she said all is good except for the defect in my enamel, which we already knew about. and to make sure it gets brushed really well. good luck after today. despite the crying mommy and i really like dr babot and her higentists.








my most favorite book right now is moo baa la la la by sandra boynton. i have mommy read it to me over and over and over. at least 20 times a day. i call the book la la. i carry it over to her and shove myself into her lap and never get tired of hearing about the cows, duck, rinos and dogs and the sounds they make. the very last page says "it's quiet now, what to you say" and upon hearing mommy read those words i point to myself. mommy was really excited the day she saw me do it. oh, some other cute things i've learned recently is the sound a crocodille makes when chomping and the sound elephants make. i'm not going to be modest, it's pretty cute.

zilker park

since it's been unseasonably awesome outside we met one of our playgroups at zilker park yesterday. i have to admit it was pretty overwhelming. the play scape is WAY bigger than anything i've played on and there were so many kids playing. all i could do was stand and stare. finally mom nudged me and i got the courage to go do some exploring. i played with rock and climbed and went down the slides. the slides there are really fast so if there wasn't someone at the bottom to catch me i shot right off of it. mommy was able to get a short video of me going down the tube slide.

today is grammy's birthday. mommy and i took her to breakfast at kerby lane for eggs and pancakes. happy birthday grammy!!
