baby peyton

since the 25 things about me is all the rage, i thought i would write one too.

1. i love to smile.  i smile when i wake up.  i smile when i play.  i smile when daddy makes faces at me.  i smile more than the other babies in mommy's baby class combined.  i even smile when i'm grumpy.  of course it's more of a mixture of smiling and crying, but there's still a smile in there.  sometimes i'm even too busy smiling to drink my milk.


2. i use to cry uncontrollably every time my clothes came off.  this included diaper changes.  i'm better now.  i only cry now when daddy or mommy takes too long putting a shirt over my head, and i can't see for a few seconds.


3. my eyes are still gray, but they have a browner tint every day.


4. i was born in glasgow, scotland, but am not a uk citizen.  apparently you have to have some type of uk heritage to claim citizenship, and i'm guessing the fact that mommy being born in hong kong whilst it was a british territory isn't enough.


5. i like to sleep with no distractions.  i can't fall asleep whilst watching my mobile no matter how soothing the music is.  i rarely fall asleep in the stroller.  there's just too much interesting things to see outside.  i do fall asleep on car rides at times, but we don't have a car right now so can't really put that to the test too much.


6. i take 3-4 naps a day, and i'm usually tired after being  awake for 2 hours.


7. i started to sleep through the night when i finally reached 10 lbs.  coincidently that was when daddy and mommy started to supplement my feeding with formula.


8. i love to curl and flex my toes.


9. i can't handle things with my hands yet, but i will touch some things that are next to me especially if they make a crinkle noise.  i also like to scratch things with my fingernails because it makes noise.


10. i kick and run in place when i'm excited.


11. i hated being on my tummy, but i am now more accepting of it.  i still will turn myself back over.  i am very good at it now.  i'm use to use the gravity of my head falling, but now i can turn over on my side, lay there for a while, and then continue to turn over to get on my back.  i have yet to go from my back to my tummy though... honestly, why would i want to do that?


12. i'm very interested in mommy when she's eating grown up food.  i wonder when she'll stop being selfish and give some of it to me.


13. i scream just cuz.  i'm not upset.  i just want to hear the sound of my voice.  sometimes it's loud, sometimes it's soft... somtimes it's for a little while and sometimes it's for a LONG time.


14. i still sleep better whilst being swaddled.


15. i love lights.  i love 'em all... on my toys, on the ceiling... everywhere.  i can stare at them for hours.


16. i like it when mommy sings to me.


17. i like it when daddy dances for me.


18. i am currently wearing number 2 diapers.


19. i like to disguise my farts with coughing and sneezing.


20. the first time daddy changed my diaper, i blasted poop everywhere... it was epic.


21. mommy and daddy call me many different names... peyton bear, p bear, peyton dawg, monkey, little bear, baby bear, pretty girl.


22. i get a bath every day, because daddy and mommy knows i like it so much.  i am starting to learn to splash the water with my legs and arms.


23. i'm just now starting to fit into 3-6 months clothes.  yes, i'm a petite little thing.


24. i have sweaty palms and feet.


25. i am now out of the cradle and in a cot bed.  i think they call it a convertible crib in the states.  i wonder if i'll still be here when i'm old enough to convert it.
