Guess Who's Three Months?

It is amazing to think our little girl is 3 months old already. Weeks 11-13 have brought a lot of change and growth developments. Peyton has found her hands and can't stop playing with them. She is also using them to grab and play with everything. This keeps her enthralled in her exersaucer and her car seat. During tummy time she is able to scoot all the way across the blanket to get to a toy out in front of her. She is making the correct crawling motions with both her arms and legs; she just hasn't figured out yet that she has to get up on her hands and knees before doing this in order to crawl.

Week 12 was a tough one; mommy had to go back to work. It is true that mom cried a lot, but the change seemed much easier on Peyton. She finger painted on her first day and did well even though she really didn't learn to sleep at daycare until this past week. We got her a bumper for her daycare crib and naps slowly started getting longer. Her teacher is Ms. Norma who has a Jamaican accent; mommy is hoping Peyton pics up a little of it. :) Her class currently has her and 2 other girls though rumor has it a boy will be joining them soon.

We have started reading books and walking on the treadmill together. Peyton loves it so much she falls asleep every time we go for a walk. Peyton's new favorite person is herself! She loves to look into the mirror and talk to herself. It often makes her giggle and she even reaches out to touch the "pretty baby in the mirror."

Peyton Is Growing!

Here are pictures from weeks 5 1/2 to 10 1/2. Peyton has been to Oklahoma for 10 days and 2 weddings as well as Birmingham, Alabama for the Pappa John's Bowl. She helped Rutgers pull off another win thanks to her adorable cheerleading outfit.

This month has seen Peyton get stronger. She balances on her elbows during tummy time for almost the whole time. She is also reaching with her arms while laying on her stomach. She loves to stand (with a little assistance) and can't stop looking around to take in everything around her. She also sleeps between 6-9 hours at night which makes mommy and daddy very happy. Daytime naps are still a struggle but we are hoping within in the next few weeks that wont be a problem anymore either.

Stay tuned and pray for us as mommy has return to work in less than 2 weeks and Peyton will be adjusting to life at daycare (and away from her mommy & daddy).....
