Four Months

Well my little Peyton was four months old on December 29th.  He's such a little angel.  Just see for yourself...







I mean really....how can you get enough of him?  Here's a little about baby Peyton at 4 months:
-He coos ALL the time....loves to talk!
-He loves to be held and talked to.
-He has just started eating cereal...yesterday was his first day actually!  I think he really likes it!
-He is trying to grab EVERYTHING...my phone, my hands, basically anything in front of his precious little face.
-He loves to take a bath.
-He travels VERY well for a 4 month old baby!  We learned that after traveling over 2,000 miles in the span of a week....and the times he cried were very minimal.
-He has just recently found his little feet and is always grabbing at them.
-He absolutely loves his little vibrating clip.  It's portable so we can clip it to the pack and play, the car seat, the bouncer, the swing, the stroller...you get the idea.  He loves it.  And yes it has been clipped to each one of those things more than once!
-He is still sleeping about 7-9 hours at night, although since our big trek to Tennessee he's been getting up occasionally in the middle of the night.  I don't know that he's completely back on schedule.
-He is constantly chewing on his hands and drooling a bunch.  Teething maybe?  I guess we'll soon see!
He is really such a sweet baby...and such a good baby!  I took him to Daniel and Austin's first wrestling tournament last Saturday (post to come) and he was just so good!  We were there from 7:30 that morning til about 5:30 that evening.  He hardly cried and even slept some despite the incredibly loud atmosphere.  We are blessed!  I just love him to pieces and am enjoying him so much!  Here's a couple of pictures to show how much he's grown over the last 4 months...

Two weeks:
How does time fly so fast?  And why does it seem keep going faster?  I don't know, but I sure am enjoying the ride!

Merry Christmas!

Yes...Christmas.  We'll skip the whole routine where I say I'll keep up with the blog one of these days; and I'll just get right to the point.  We had a very Merry Christmas!  We decided randomly on the Sunday evening before Christmas that we'd just go ahead and open all our presents from each other on Christmas Eve morning.  That way we could get an earlier start to Tennessee on Christmas morning.  It also gave the kids a whole day to enjoy their toys they got here before we left.  It was lots of fun!










 


I think they all approved of what they got!  Especially Peyton...he looks pretty stoked about his presents!  The big present was an Xbox 360 Kinnect for all of them.  They each got their own game to go with it.  That was fun and we spent the majority of the day playing that (and of course getting ready for a lot of car-riding).  So...that was our Christmas (Eve) morning! :)  I sure hope you enjoyed yours as well!
