Well, you should have known that Peyton was going to be today's gift that I am grateful for. From the moment that we found out that Kyle and Ally were going to have a baby, we loved her. They had waited so long and had such a difficult fight with Chloe that we couldn't believe that she was finally on her way. I remember being in the OB's when they found out that Chloe was going to have a sister which was a relief because she wanted nothing to do with the idea of having a brother. Allyson encountered all of the difficulties with Peyton's pregnancy as she did with Chloe's EXCEPT that this time her OB was only concerned with Allyson so some of the issues were avoided.
From the minute Peyton was born, she had our whole family hooked. Our boys get to watch Ally's girls while she works since they are in online school and I will never, ever forget that first day of them watching - Peyton was just about 7 weeks old.. Brian had been laid off so he was home with the boys. I walked in and all 4 of my boys were on the couch completely exhausted because they had spent the entire day catering to the needs of this little baby. Countless times, I would be met with them "shushing" me as I walked in so not to wake her up. In their eyes, she can do no wrong and they just love her.
Our family is so grateful for the opportunity to live close to Peyton and share in her life everyday. She definitely has her own personality and knows exactly what she wants. She says a few words now like puppy and Dada and she RUNS everywhere cuz she wants to stay up with the big kids. I hope that Peyton knows how much I love her and that she is one of my greatest treasures.
