3 Months Old

Peyton turned 3 months old on December 10th. WOW, how time flies even faster when you have a baby. She is getting so big! Not sure on her length but she is weighing in at around 12 pounds now.  She has done such a great job sleeping in her crib and continues to sleep through the night.  In the mornings when I get her out of her crib she is nothing but smiles. I love seeing her smile at me. Peyton and I have had many conversations, I could go on and on with her. Since being back at school I have gotten used to the new schedule but I sure am tired! I try to hurry up and get ready in the mornings so I can spend a little bit of time with her cuddling and playing and then I leave as soon as possible after school to hurry home to her. I love walking in the door and seeing her smile at me. She knows that mama is home!!

She did come down with her first cold  this past week  =(   She has been congested mainly at night and in the morning, but it looks like it is going away. It sure is hard to know that your little one is not feeling good.

Here are some of the things she is now doing:

-Giggling out loud. (We have only heard her out loud a few times, but it is the greatest sound in the world)

-She is grasping things now, but only if it is close. Things like my shirt, her own clothes, and her blankets. She does not grab for stuff yet but is able to touch something and then hold onto to it.

-She is super observant, and is able to follow someone/thing in front of her all the way from side to side. She has also started turning her head more in the direction of a sound when she hears it.

-She has done really well with keeping her head up without support. After a while though she has to take a quick break and then is right back up to moving her head around. Scott and I have tried to hold her sitting up so she can strengthen those back muscles that will eventually help her sit without support.




So more great news.......

~Peyton has a new cousin!!!  Braxton Ryan was born on Nov. 30th.  He is a splitting image of his daddy, and is absolutely precious. Peyton loves her new cousin already.

~My sister Jennifer graduated from MSU over this past weekend with her business degree. We are so proud of her!! We went on our first mini road trip to Wichita Falls to watch her graduate. Peyton did really well, she was having fun with me and Weezer in the back seat. And on the way back home she slept the entire time!
