Milestone After Milestone

In just a few short days Peyton will be 7 months old. As all parents, we are blown away at how quickly our baby girl is growing up. The last few weeks have been amazing. She can sit up on her own, including getting into a sitting position by herself. May 18th Peyton turned a sad day (the one year anniversary of Grandma Brownie passing away) into one with positive memories. Peyton not only got her first tooth, but she actually began to crawl. The crawling is slow going but she is able to stay up on all fours and get around rather than always resorting to her military crawl with her belly down. The tooth has just barely broke the surface but it is definitely out and on its way up.

Peyton is a great eater and gives us no trouble with all the foods we give her. Peas aren't her favorite but she still finishes them. She even likes prunes! Sleep is still good. Prior to her tooth coming in she was sleeping at least 10 hours a night. The last couple of days she isn't sleeping as much but she is still getting over 8 hours at night.

Peyton got to go to the Rutgers Scarlet & White football scrimmage, Stuff Yer Face afterwards and even a Japanese Habachi. Her favorite things include plastic water bottles, going for walks or anything that involves being outside and playing on the laptop. She is talking up a storm (in her own language) and her favorite thing to say is Da Da. Her hair is starting to show signs that it may have a little natural curl to it. When it is humid outside it begins to get wavy and flip out, just like mommy's hair :)
