A thrill seeker.........

So Payton as you all know was born with major heart problems, but nobody ever told her that! From the very beginning when I bounced her it needed to be big bouncing to calm her! Her favorite thing to do was 'drop the baby'. Before CPS is called this wasn't until she was 7 or 8 months old, we aren't talking 'drop the baby' at 3 months old or anything like that! As soon as she could sit up she loved to throw herself back (& most of the time is was while she was on the bed). When she could stand we would stand her up in front of us & let her fall back (but we never let go of her hands at that point). Then she would stand in front of us & we would count, she would start to lean back & we would swipe her legs out from underneath her so she'd fall on her back. So now she does it all on her own!That is a face of someone who is having fun!
Even though Donald's hand is in the way you could still see part of her expression.
Donald was busy getting Payton ready for bedtime. From the other room I hear her giggling & this is what I find (an activity very conducive to preparing to go to sleep!).


Then she figured out that she could turn around & go forward before falling down. Then Donald would just face her forward.
I love this one!
Her running away before falling. She is running towards our pillows. She hasn't yet hit the wall but I'm sure it's just a matter of time.
Of course (Tyler did I spell it rigth? ;), upside down is a fun one too. I don't like that one because it makes her face turn purpley/red really fast.
She has so much fun with her dad!
Payton at the end all tuckered out taking a rest & now ready for bed.
