6th Month Old Baby Peyton



I know every mom says this but my baby is growing way too fast! I can't believe she turned 6 months already. Time flies when you don't want it to. Peyton is such a blessing to our family, we are all enamored by her. She reminds us a lot like her brother at this age. laid back. very content, and just wants to be around us. The only difference I can see is that she is a bit more ornery than Brayden ever was:) That's ok though, we can handle that. Peyton had an appointment today and is very healthy. She weighs 20 pounds 6 ounces!!! (off the charts), and is 28 inches long (99%). Nothing new really. The doctor says that the acid reflux should be getting better now that she is eating solid food so we can remove the wedge from her bed. I'm a little nervous about it because I know she is so used to sleeping in it, but I guess we'll see if we get any sleep tonight.

Peyton is a very happy 6 month old who is constantly smiling and finding the silliest things to laugh at. She talks all day (ba-ba-ba-ba), and especially loves her brother. She can almost sit up unassisted and can turn over either way. She is experimenting with her diet and deciding which foods she likes and so far she is not too picky. She loves to jump in her jumpy or swing in her swing, but her favorite thing is to just be held and talked to. She has a lot of tickle spots, her toes, legs, arms, belly and neck and loves to be tickled. She has been sleeping through the night since she was 6 weeks old and is a great nap-taker too. Her favorite thing in the world is mommy's milk and will let you know when she wants some more:) We love having Peyton apart of our family and can't wait to see what she will be up to next.

She is so sweet. I really enjoyed getting to spend time with her this weekend and hold her without having to worry about the twins. What a sweet-heart. She is definatly quite a bit bigger then Hannah now. (I thought so) Hannah was just 17lbs at her 8 month WIC appointment. Ty was 17lbs 12oz. That momma's milk makes such a differance! My boys were always big and healthy too, These ones are just little shrimps. That is ok, I guess it just keeps them little longer, right?
