This Just In.....

PAYTON AVERY ROBBINS CAN WALK
 
Yea!  Just today Payton has taken his first official steps all by himself.  He has been doing it more and more as the day goes on and can do more steps each time.  He is getting a little more steady each time too.  Wow I am just so amazed and we are all so proud of him.  Such a good litle puppy :)

Giddy up Daddy


DADDY'S MAKE GREAT HORSIES 

As you can see Payton just loves it when Daddy gives him horsie rides. He's been, as always, a really happy baby this week.  Except for Friday night :( his ear infection came back and we had to go to the doctor on Saturday.  We are back on the medicine and will see the doctor again in a few weeks.  On a good note the perforation in the ear is healed, just not the infection.

Payton learned how to climb the steps this week.  He was going up just one or two before but last night and this morning he climbed up all the way to the top of the staircase (closely monitored of course).  He had no troubles at all and actually went pretty fast. 

I have been giving him more food lately that he has to chew, not his favorite thing to do.  Unless it's a cracker or puff, he loves those. He has also started to feed himself, not consistently yet but he is getting the idea now which is great.









He is also really starting to get the idea at swim too, he is kicking his legs on his own in the pool and climbs out really well.  Next week we start swim at a new later time with our friends Aaron, 
Melissa and Hudson!  We are so excited.

A Summer of Firsts


MOST CAUGHT ON CAMERA  

Mom needs to take her vitamins more regularly or something cause I seem to be forgetting the camera lately when we head out the door.  Not a good habit and very upsetting when your little one is just learning and doing all kinds of new things.  But I did get some good pics and videos this last week. 
 






Pat and I were off on vacation the week for 4th of July.  It was great to have some family time and to decompress. We did all kinds of yard work, relaxing, and visiting with family 
and friends. 






Payton went on Grandma ad Grandpa Osborn's boat for the first time (just to hang out and dance), put his feet in lake Huron with Grandma and Grandpa Robbins and hung out at the zoo with daddy's high school friends.







Unfortunately we didn't have the camera for the zoo OR Lake Huron, but we plan to go back to both places in the near future.
Payton is really doing well, he can stand all by himself and clap his hands or play with a toy.  And he can almost (not quite) stand on his own without using a chair, person, or toy to help him up all the way.  He has even taken a couple of steps but we are thinking at this point it was just a fluke.

Payt, is really good at climbing up the stairs, and we are working on going down the proper way not head first.  He likes to climb the fist 2 steps of the landing to the baby gate and then stand up and shake the gate while jumping, yelling and laughing.  It's his favorite activity right now and he gets very excited.

Here is a picture of the baby brown bunny that likes to hang out in our yard.  Isn't he cute.
