2 MONTHS Already!









Staying with the norm, time is just flying by....I'm juggling being a mom to Payton, Callie, and Emma, wife to Brian, working from home, getting errands run, keeping the house somewhat livable, feeding us all, and actually trying to shower once a day ;) And I'm loving every quick minute of it all!! I had an exam to take on Monday afternoon, so my mom, "Granby," came and sat with Payton. Brian's parents came for a quick visit on Wednesday evening, so Payton got to spend a little time with "Jana and Granddude." Payton had her 2 month doctor's appointment on Thursday last. She was a brave girl, getting 2 shots in one leg, and an oral vaccination. She screamed after the shots, and was a bit fussy the rest of the evening, but all and all, she did a great job! Her head circumference is in the 75th percentile, while her height and weight are in the 97th percentile. She weighs 13.8 pounds and is 24 inches long. 2 feet already!! Her doctor told us she's functioning at a 4 month old level, trying to roll from her back to tummy (she can already roll from her tummy to back, when she's in the mood), and she's following us with her eyes, is very alert and aware, and is so strong. We've introduced her to the "Bumbo" seat, which is helping strengthen her neck and back muscles, to help her sit up on her own, plus it frees my arms for a bit. She's giggling and cooing all the time, and the biggest development, since the last update, is that she's sleeping ALL the way THROUGH the NIGHT :) Yep, she's sleeping about 8-10 hours in a row, without waking up! This has been nice for Brian and me. She's not on any type of schedule yet, as we are still dragging her around to friend's houses at night, or on the boat, or wherever we're going, but she seems to be adjusting to sleeping different places okay. Hoping to keep that up!! Also, I'm trying to get her in the pool regularly, even though she only lasts about 15 minutes...she loves the water, and is accepting going under the water (not loving that yet, but we're still doing it in hopes she gets used to it soon). Her next check up will be at 4 months old, but until then, I'll keep updating with pictures and stories!!
