Princess Tales: Dear Miss Paighton,

So much has changed in just ONE month!

You are a rocket! You are everywhere on your hands and knees and when we stand you up-you LOVE to walk. You walk and talk everywhere. It's like you are telling us how fun it is to walk around. Those little legs can get moving! You are pulling yourself up onto things and try so hard to stand up on your own when you are sitting down.

You also got your first TOOTH! Thank goodness! It was your bottom right tooth that decided to pop through first! Although all the other ones are coming in right after this one, so it's not making things very easy for you. My baby girl you try so hard to laugh, but sometimes the cry just comes out instead. I wish I could take away that pain for you, but the good thing is you won't remember it!

You have completed your first swimming class and have been to the neighborhood pool for the first time. You had a great time and loved to splash around. You love watching all of the big kids and smile everytime one of them come by to say hi to you. You are very social! (I can't imagine where you get that from....) You "talk" to all the kiddos and they love to play with you.

We are getting ready to celebrate your first 4th of July! Dont' worry, you have an outfit for each day of the weekend! Thanks Grandma Thurston! :) I'm not sure how you will do with fireworks, but let me tell you something kid, for as many times as you have been through some torrential thunderstorms, you have never woken up. So hopefully you'll be okay! We will be hanging out with family all weekend and I know you will have a fun time playing with your cousins!

Included are some of my favorite pics from the last month. Time is flying by baby girl. You are going to be 10 months in a few weeks and I can't believe what a big girl you are. I love you so much sweetheart and love spending every minute I can with you. Your laugh fills my heart and cuddling with you is the best part of my day.

"You're not going to make me pick up all these toys right Mom?"
