Month One:
- Born on April 28, 2009 at 1:22pm. Weighing 6.13 and was 19 inches long!
- Was very alert and responsive and could hold her head up quite well ever since she was born.- Had her 1 week appointment where she had already gained 1/2 lb, and babies usually loose about a lb in the first week! She was a very good eater! At her one week appointment she peed on daddy 3 times! :) Very funny!
- She slept A LOT!
- She decided she HATED being swaddled (at about 2 weeks)
- She also decided she hated being held like a baby, and didn't like nursing to much because of this.
- Didn't ever want to be wearing clothes or sleepers.. and was only happy in a onesie (this only lasted a couple of weeks).
- Traveled 30 hours across the country to Texas at 3 weeks!
Month Two:- Started sucking on her binky, hands, blankets, mine and Ryan's fingers, and basically anything she could get into her mouth.
- She first smiled and laughed in response to me and Ryan, not gas or in her sleep :)
- Decided she loves the outside and the water! Whenever we put her in her stroller and take her for a walk outside she is so good and falls asleep every time and whenever we put her in the pool she falls asleep! :)
- She never wants to be asleep during the day. Whenever she is tired and falling asleep her eyes start rolling in the back of her head and she will look as far up as she can to try and keep her eyes open!
- Started to love taking baths! And especially loved having her hair blow dried afterwards!- She started sleeping through the night.. most nights! Its AMAZING!
- Every time I put her in her car seat she stands in it and I have to wait until she is tired of standing and she will sit down, to buckle her in.
- She loves when I am changing her diaper and I put diaper rash ointment on her little bum! She smiles and kicks her legs and thinks its so fun! So even though she has never had a diaper rash, we treat her to a little bum medicine every now and then!
- She hates laying down and always wants to be sitting up even though she cant balance by herself yet. Whenever we lay her in her car seat or on the bed or anywhere she will hold her head off the ground the entire time she is laying there! She has a very strong neck!!
- Started to talk and talk and talk! (even though she can only make about 3 different sounds)- She decided she HATES sleeping in her bassinet because she likes to sleep with her arms 
straight out and it wakes her up when they hit the sides of the bassinet. She slept in our bed for a while and she loved it, but there is just not enough room for three of us! So since her crib and all her things are in Boise, we got a twin mattress and she sleeps on that next to our bed, and she sleeps great!!!

- Also when she sleeps, she wont sleep good unless her arms are NOT covered by the blanket and she has to have a bottle touching her face :) It is very strange! If I try and move it she wakes up every time!- And her newest trick is her fake cry! It is quite funny but not very believable.. she needs to work on it!
She is kind of an unusual baby :) but she definitely keeps things interesting and so fun! We love her!
Peyton loves her baths so much!
