Payton's World

What's new with Payton at 9 weeks & 3 days old?
I love to be held..especially by my mommy & daddy.
My favorite place to be is outside..doing anything from going on a stroller walk, sitting in my swing while mommy reads, being in my sling while mommy hangs laundry on the wash line, getting the mail, and more!
I only wake up once at night now..usually at about 3 am, then at about 6 am...and sometimes I go back to sleep until 8:30...sometimes :)
I have no nap schedule yet..except for my morning nap, which is usually about 1 1/2 hours after I wake up. I love to look at people & be talked to. I coo & smile...I will be a gabber when I learn how to talk!
I love to take baths & now I splash, which is so fun! But I get pretty offended if I accidentaly splash myself in the face.
I am getting so big...I weigh 11 lbs & 14 oz now & am in the 80th percentile compared to other babys my age.
I always try to sit up no matter where I am....I think I am older than only 2 months!
I like my play mat & I kick my arms & legs like crazy...mom & dad won;t be able to keep up with me when I learn to crawl.
I still have beautiful blue eyes & brown hair ( except for where I am balding :)
I miss my nana & papa in Colorado SO much & today I got to hear my papa's voice on the phone & I smiled when I heard him!
My favorite friends to be with are Clare Jorgenson (Matt & Sarah's), Audrey Gill (Jay & Kati's), Kierra, Brett, & Brayden (Marv & Andi's), and soon to be baby Sam (Josh & Amanda).

I'm a big girl!

Lately Payton's newest adventure is that she is loving learning how to sit up! Everywhere...and I mean everywhere..she tries to sit up & usually accomplishes it! She lifts her head up in her car seat, if you prop her on a pillow or her boppy, in the bath tub..haha. She is very active & very strong!!! (9 weeks & 2 days old)

9 weeks old

Yucky Shots :(

Yesterday Payton had her 2 month old check up. She weighed 11 lbs 14 oz (80th percentile) and was 22 3/4 inches long (65th percentile). She is getting SO big!!! She also had her shots, which was very traumatic for both of us :( Today she is still recovering by being crabby & sleeping a lot...haha. Here are pics..3 before her shots & even one of her in her carseat still smiling after we got home...for the moment anyways :)

2 months old

Now that Payton is 2 months old I have been trying to get some good pictures of her..it is still hard to get her in the right mood to take them & get her to smile when I am ready with the camera haha...She looks so adorable in these pics but I was having a hard time getting the camera to focus...ugh. BUT cant believe how cute & big she is getting every day!

Bath time!

Yesterday at 2 months old Payton officially outgrew her baby bath tub insert. She now sits like a big girl in the tub! She also LOVES to kick & splash water now & gets very surprised when she splashes heself in the face haha!

Daddy Time

Yesterday Payton stayed at home with Mike while I went to the gym for the first timesince she has been born! They "watched" the Cardinals on TV & napped :)

Almost 2 months old...

Well, we are back from Colorado...seems like we were gone for so long! We had a great time visiting family & friends..already can't wait until our next visit...hopefully Thanksgiving :)
It is hard to believe that Payton is almost 2 months old already..how the time flies! Her her 2 month appointmant will be next week which means the dreaded vaccinations...hope she isn't too traumatized by the shots!! Here are a few pics from after we got home this week..she just looks so cute! This morning I got a picture of her holding herslef up on her tummy...she was pushed all the way up which was amazing...I just couldn't get the best picture taken because she was moving around so much. I also got a picture of her in her "baby legs" (leg warmers) which are adorable!
