Personality with a punch

This little mischievous grin is a lot of fun. She loves to make phone calls, real and pretend. A new word in her vocabulary is "Hullo" She is my climber. I have found her in the kitchen sink, on the back of the couch, in the pack n'play and many more crazy spots. Peyton is now 19 months old and changing so fast. She likes to yell "What" at her big sister and smile, tease and poke her sister to make her squeal.
When Big sister is at Preschool Peyton usually takes a nap. This particular day, I was busy on the phone. Peyton went and found her baby doll and blanket she sleeps with. Turned the TV on in the guest room and climbed on the bed to watch Mickey Mouse.
She is learning so fast and changes everyday. We've struggled with getting her to eat and gain weight. We meet with a Therapist and Nutritionist each month that check her stats and play with her, teaching her how to eat and they are wonderful. She went from eating a few Tablespoons of food a day to more than her sister will eat.
Although her weight is still low, things are looking up. The food allergy's have been a challenge and I feel like I'm in the kitchen six hours a day(or more) to make meals from scratch that she is not allergic to. We have recently used some Vegan recipes to get rid of the egg, and things seem to be looking up even more.
Peyton is such a happy girl, we love that she is a part of our family.
