Top Hat Fini Flight

Waiting for Daddy....does not want those things on his ears! So far he won't wear a hat, sunglasses or his ear protection. Doesn't mind earPLUGS though....weirdo.

Get these off of me!

Ambush

Mini-golfer!

I see a set of tiny clubs in our future...what do you think?!?!

Welcome to the Thunderbirds!

We had our official welcome to the Thunderbirds on Tues. Nov. 2nd. All I can say is it feels C-R-A-Z-Y to be here....I can't imagine what Nick must be feeling! I am so proud of him!!!!!

Signing a little piece of history....Nick had me sign so that it would actually be legible ;)

Welcome Shot

Superb cake cutting by Happy...I mean, Nuke

Bark! Rrrrr...I Mean Boo!

I am a terrible mother...I didn't get Payson a Halloween costume for his first ever Halloween! I am awaiting the scolding that is coming my way.....in my defense though, he doesn't even know what Halloween is yet so...c'mon, really?!?!

Since I was feeling guilty (and Zoey REALLY doesn't dig wearing her costume anyway) Payson got to share her pumpkin suit! He had a blast (just look at that grin!), we worked on "sharing" AND I didn't spend a dime! Win -win!

Eeeeevillllll Payson

Punkin Head

First Haircut!

Back in mid-September we decided to give Payson his first haircut. Total hackjob by his parents with the clippers. Perhaps I should have reminded myself of my wonderful self-haircut in Kindergarten and spared my son by taking him to a salon. Oh well, we have plenty more years ahead of us, I can be a cheapskate for a little while longer....

Before....

After!

P.S. What do you think of the larger photo size? Keep it or go back to the original sizing from posts past?

Mmmmm...Spaghetti!

Playing Catch Up

Once again I find myself having gone 4+ months with no blog posts. I apologize, I am terrible at this sort of thing. However, I have scheduled some upcoming posts so that we can get you all caught up! So, keep checking, I promise there will be at least a few new posts in the coming weeks!

In the meantime, here are my most recent snapshots of the little guy. I think he's figured out that the camera = cheesey time so I'm getting some big smiles, hugs and even kisses when I try to take his picture now. Too cute!

I love that Payson will now sometimes give me a hug when I ask for one! So neat to see things "click" in that little mind!

What Up P Denny Fans?

How cool am I?

I must take after my Daddy...

because he's gonna be a THUNDERBIRD!!!!

So does that make Payson a ThunderBaby or BabyBird or??? Either way, we are super excited about this next adventure and we will be moving to Nellis AFB (Northwest of Las Vegas) in October!

More updates to follow...I promise to TRY to not take 4 months in between each update!

I Heart San Diego!

We absolutely love to get away to San Diego when a long weekend permits. This time the winds finally cooperated (I think this was my 4th or 5th try) and I was able to go paragliding! It was awesome and I even flew over to Torrey Pines and said hi to Nick while he was golfing! No kidding! He was on hole 4 along the ocean cliffs and I was able to fly by and have a chat with him! It was a unforgettable experience and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the San Diego area!

Walking towards the cliff...

Liftoff!

Ho Ho Ho!

We drove home to Denver for Christmas as we usually do only this time our car was absolutely stuffed with presents and a plethora of baby crap! We decided to spend two days driving since our pit stops would be a little longer than normal with a little one in tow. Payson did great despite sleeping most of the time in the car and being awake most of the time in the hotel. We had a great first Christmas with him and wanted to share some cute pics of him in his little cold weather Christmas gettup!

Not so happy to be all bundled up in this one! Ha!

Family Visit!

My brother, his wife and my nephew were able to visit in early December when Payson was around 3 weeks old. We had a great time and Payson even attended his first hockey game! Slept through all the loud buzzers and everything!!!

Push It Up!

Cheese!

3 weeks old snuggling on mommy's shoulder!

Happy New Year (if a bit late)!!!

In true Leah fashion I'm ringing in the new year on my blog a little late! Sorry it's been so long since I last posted so here's the update....

At Payson's two month check up he was 12 lbs 3 oz and 24 inches long! He's now 10 weeks old and doing great! He's a happy baby and will chat up a storm after he comes out of his milk induced stupor! He loves story time but dislikes tummy time unless it is on Nick's chest...then he tolerates it for a little bit longer anyway! He's thinking about rolling over but hasn't figured that out yet....I'm in trouble once this kid is mobile aren't I?!?!

I will go back and post pictures from the last month over the next week or two but for now here are some of the latest pictures...

9 weeks old enjoying tummy time with Daddy!

8 week old Turtle Man! Thanks for the turtle butt outfit Mom...we love it!
