Second half of the summer...

So much to write about! The second half of our summer was just as much fun as the first half. Possibly even more fun b/c Payton has changed so much even since june! She interacts so much more these days. She's now sitting up on her own, slithering around on her belly, making all kinds of noises, raspberries and clicking her tongue are her favorites! She's such a smiley, happy gal! Since I last wrote, we took a trip to Boston to see some friends, went to a zoo, had some play dates, spent a weekend at the lake in VT with my family and Brian's family, went to Wolf Lake in NY with Brian's cousins, and finally, went to Aruba! Payton has been in a kayak, a boat, a taxi, on a city bus, and a plane. We were so fortunate to be able to do all of those things, thank God for an easy going baby! She's such a trooper. I posted some pics of her at all of those places. I'll do a seperate post for Aruba just b/c it was a week long trip so there's so much to talk about!

We went to the zoo with our friends Maggie, Dave, and their son Chase who is almost exactly a month older than PRO. It was probably more entertaining for us than for them but we have the memories recorded so that's what matters! They are going to be so much fun to watch as they grow up. We were also able to hang out with Dan, Erin, and their daughter Maddie who is almost exactly three months younger than PRO. All these kids! The years to come will be filled with lots of fun get togethers!

We had a great time at Wolf Lake with the younger Osterhout clan. The weather was great, and everyone really enjoyed watching Payton and Matthew, they are very entertaining :) Just wait until next year! Oh boy....

This is the second year in a row we've done a Pindar/Osterhout weekend in VT, and the second one was just as successful as the first! We had such a great weekend...Payton is pretty lucky to have the chance to spend a whole weekend with both sets of grandparents. Of course, I forgot my camera that weekend, unbelievable. We did a lot of jet skiing, eating, drinking, kayaking, swimming, etc. Great times! Hopefully next year we can get ALL of payton's aunts there!

Payton has done so much during her first 8 months of life - too bad she won't remember any of it....but we will :)
