Two months old

Peyton is TWO months old. In the past 2 months she has become such a little girl. She has put on more than 4 pounds, has started smiling, laughing and cooing and even sleeps most of the way through the night. When she was born I didn't think I could love her more. But I do. It is so amazing to watch her grow and change. Here is my precious little 2 month old.

A Happy Halloween

I know I am a little late, because at this point all thats left from Halloween are the extra pounds from those damn mini-choloclate bars. Even still I couldn't resist posting a few of pictures from Peyton's first Halloween.

How fast time flies...

My baby girl is already one month old. I can't believe that a month has already gone by - but at the same time - I can't remember my life before her. Happy Birthday Peyton Rayne!

Daily Dose of Peyton - September 23

Peyton has had a good grip since she was born. Today she discovered something fun to grip... mommy's hair.

Co-sleeping = survival

I still believe that my baby is 7.5 pounds of perfection - but I have to tell you - the last two weeks life has been a little more difficult. After 3 days of sleeping well in her pack and play, Peyton decided she did NOT like night time. As soon as we all go to bed, she just starts to scream - not fuss, not cry, but scream. And NOTHING seems to settle her. We think its gas...she has such a bloated little belly, but no matter what we try, nothing will calm her down - nothing except being close to mom and dad. She will still cry when she is with us in bed, but once she settles down she will sleep most of the way through the night. She will wake to feed, and then go right back to sleep. The last few nights we have gotten 5-6 hours of the sleep, and believe me - it was needed!! I always said I wouldn't co-sleep, but as someone wisely told me - when they are babies, co-sleeping isn't really 'co-sleeping', it's survival.
