8 Months!

I know that I have a million things to post and update on, but first things first! Our little peanut has turned 8months old! She is doing so much now, and getting so big. She still tries really hard to crawl on her knees, she will do a couple, rock a little and then fall on her tummy and continue with the fastest army crawl you ever saw! This last month we had so much going on. The main event was my cousin Kyles wedding. We drove to California, stayed in a hotel with mom, James, Mark, Mike Amy, Mitch and the kids ( all separate rooms of course...that would have been nuts!) Payton was amazing, she barely made a peep the during the car ride and while we were in Hollywood, and everyone was having a heart attack, there was Pay, just hanging out in her stroller. Although she was not a fan of sleeping in the pack and play. She NEVER, and I mean never wakes up crying, I mean the scream cry where she doesn't stop, but while we were there she did that the second night. She just could not get comfortable. She would wake up every 3 hours and just cry. We finally just put her in with us, and that pretty much meant I didn't sleep. The rest of the trip was great! She got to meet her second cousins and and her great,great aunt and my God mother Dee Dee. Such a special memory.

She has also developed 2 naps a day the last anywhere from 1 1/2 hours to 3 hours and her second nap is at least an hour. She falls asleep around 8 and wakes up the next day between 6 and 7. It was always 7 but lately this 6:00 thing has been happening but she will usually fall back to sleep which is nice. She is still enjoying her days with all of the people who watch her. She has adjusted well. I am so lucky to have people who love her so much and give their time to help us out.

Not only are we scooting around faster than ever, she is pulling up and she also started sitting herself up a few weeks ago. One day after a nap I went to get her up, and there she was, sitting in her crib like a big girl waiting for me! It was the cutest thing. She has started to have these little silly moods, where she just experiments with faces and noises.It is so funny when you put her in front of the mirror,she gets so excited and then she just squeals and gives herself kisses( she basically sucks on the mirror) She is still enjoying her bath time and her most favorite song is "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" I am sure that there are a million things that I am forgetting, she is just changing daily! I promise I will not go this long between posts again. ....hopefully.... life just gets busy sometimes!

Such a Happy Girl!
