Chucks



My everyday wardrobe in High School consisted of jeans, a t-shirt, and my orange converse. Yes I know, my fashion sense was needless to say... lacking. I figured that as long as you have a cool pair of kicks, nothing else really matters. haha
So, I have passed this down to my baby girl. We now have matching pink high-top chucks. Pretty sweet!!!! I think we look awesome. Yes, I'm going to be one of those annoying mom's who try to match their babies all the time. I'm sure they are just going to loooooooooove that when they get older... but they'll just have to get over it. :)
9 months!!!!!
Rachel had her 9 month check up yesterday... here are the stats (brace yourself)
she is around 20 lbs (she was squirming the whole time they were trying to get her weight)
and 31 inches tall!!!!!!!!

She is off the charts for her height, and around the 65 percentile for weight! I have to put her in 18 to 24 months clothes because shes so long ( I can still fit her in 6-12 months onesies cuz they stretch pretty good)!!!! And she's still walking really good, and even gets up without having to pull herself up on something. Everytime we go to the dog park she follows the dogs everywhere.
She has grown 14 inches since she was born, and gained about 11 pounds... whooah! I can't believe how fast she is growing up!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TYLER!





This morning we went to Shipleys for Tyler's birthday breakfast, and I think it's safe to say that rachel thoroughly enjoyed herself. She stuffed every doughnut hole we gave her straight into her mouth and then giggled.

I am so grateful for such a studly, righteous, wicked sweet, kind, gentlemanly, best daddy ever, lover, BEST FRIEND, hooah, strong, smart... and every other cool adjective I can think of HUSBAND! I love you William Tyler Payne! And I'm so glad that you were BORN!!!!

Cold Day in January



We got home from traveling to a FREEZING house!!! So Rachel helped me pick out her layers of clothing for the day until the heater in the house kicked in. I thought it was pretty cute. :)
