Whoo Hoo for 2011... yes I am a little behind seeing as it is now Jan 19th. Oh well better late than never.
New Years Eve:
To start off the year we had a New Years Eve party at the house this year. We had great friends and family to celebrate with and had a great time. It was also the first time I got to babysit my little nephew Braxton before the party started. I was in absolute heaven having him and Peyton in my arms. Peyton unfortunately only lasted until about 9:30pm, Braxton on the other hand was a party animal. He stayed up to ring in the New Year with everyone.
4 Months and time sure is ROLLING by very quickly:
We took Peyton for her 4 month check up January 10th. I was so excited that I was able to go with her and Scott to the doctor this time. The first time I had just gone back to work and thought it would look bad if I took a day off right after I returned from 8 weeks off. But this time I did not care, I went!! She weighed in at 12 pounds 13 ounces and is measuring 23 inches long!!! Her doctor says she is still a little under average for her age but seeing as how she was small and born early she is making excellent progress. We have been given the OK to start rice cereal which I am very excited to try. At this appointment she also had to get her 2nd round of shots. I will just say that I hate having to watch a baby get shots!!! Even though the nurse was super fast I could not wait to pick her up and comfort her. She immediately turned red and started crying. It only lasted for about 5 minutes but that was too long for me. Poor thing!! This was my first experience to be with her getting shots and lets just say I will not look forward to the next round. On a brighter note Peyton is getting so big and Scott and I are enjoying every minute of it!! She now has pretty good neck/head control and can sit in her bumbo seat and we have even put her in her new jumperoo. Her feet do not quite go all the way to the floor and bounce but she will be there soon.
Some other things she is now doing:
-Moving around in her crib. I will put her in one position and she will shimmey her way down the crib and out of sight on the video monitor. So of course I go and check to make sure she is still good and adjust the monitor lol.
-She had found her feet and likes to play with them. She even has tried to put them in her mouth.
-Slobbery Hands!!! She constantly has her hands in her mouth playing with her tongue. So of course her mouth and shirt are always wet.
-ROLLING OVER!!!! She rolled over from tummy to back at the daycare on Jan 17th. And then she did it again when I got home from school. I was so excited that it was not just a fluke accident but more intentional this time. She has done it a few times since then, but of course never when I have the video camera out haha.
