baby peyton

i had a bad sunday.  i woke up sick.  i'm thinking it was the hipp goodnight milk that mommy tried on me.  of course she didn't know right away that i was sick, but she was clued in to it when i wouldn't eat anything for breakfast.  mommy put me back to sleep, and i slept for another hour.  then i woke up and threw up 2x's.  it wasn't too bad.  i hadn't eaten anything so my tummy was empty.

later while i was playing with one of my favorite toys, the baby einstein colour kaleidoscope, i got my leg caught in it.  just stuck my leg through and couldn't get out.  it was horrible.  i started to panic once i realize it was attached to me.  when daddy finally got it off of me.  i had speaker holes imprint on my leg.

since i kept my breakfast and lunch down, mommy decided that it was time to give me some milk.  i gobbled it all down.  it was yummy.  when i was done i turned over to my tummy.  mommy noticed that i put my face to the ground... something that i hardly do.  she picked me up right away cuz she knew something was wrong and yup... all the milk came right back out.  i was all better by that night.  daddy said we should try milk again for bedtime.  not that horrible bedtime milk tho of course.  no vomit! yay!

here's mommy's current favorite picture of me

and a 2 minute video of me doing something i love...

sorry i haven't updated much.  nothing much exciting has happened since my great grandparents, grandma, and auntie emily left scotland.  one thing i do have to say is i had a bee in my mouth... and it was yummy... well yummy until mommy realize i had it in my mouth and made daddy get it out.

here's some old eating videos that mommy just uploaded.

my dinner consisted of many finger foods.  i ate some broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, pasta shells, and for the very first time... i tasted baby jar food.  she gave me fruity jar food, cuz i only ate a few bites of the veg.  i alternated between the fruity jar and pastas.  it's weird.  with all the veggies in front of me, i only picked up the one that was circular and put it in my mouth.

while daddy's gone, mommy sends pictures of me to him every day.  it's just to let daddy know what i've been doing.  here's some of the stuff i've been doing... sorry if these are a little fuzzy.  they were taken on mommy's iphone.  oh yea, one more thing.  the health visitor came by on friday.  i now weigh 14 lbs 10 oz.

it's been a while.  let's talk about my food intake.  it was going well for a while.  i was eating everything, but now it's kinda tapered off.  i really like fruits... i don't like veggies that much.  i like my fruity baby cereal the best.  i eat tons of that in the morning.  i eat less for lunch.  especially if daddy or mommy feeds me veggies.  mommy's going to try a different recipe to encourage me to eat my veggies.  

i have learned some new tricks.  i yell when i want attention.  it's funny when mommy or daddy walks out of the room, and i yell.  they turn right around to check on me.  tee hee.  i don't like to play alone so much anymore.  i like to have mommy or daddy next to me.  again, i yell when i don't get my way.

daddy was gone all last week, and he's going to be gone this week too.  mommy takes me out every day it's not raining.  we went to the library.  i applied for my first library card.  they also had bounce and rhyme time there.  it was fun.  there were a lot of babies.  we sang a lot of songs and listened to a story.  i can't wait to go again this week.

i went to the hospital today.  just a check up to make sure my growth is ok.  it is.  my current weight is 13 lbs 13 oz and length is 24.3 inches.  i go back for another check up in 3 months.  we had the first appointment for the day.  it's quite nice that way cuz we don't have to wait in a crowded waiting room like we did the first couple of times.  we even had two doctors this time!  so much attention for little me.

mommy took pictures of my head again to compare the ones that she took of me about three weeks ago.  good news.  my head is definitely not as flat as it was before.  i'm kinda surprised.  i guess all this time sitting up is helping.  i'm so close to sitting up by myself.  well... it's more like me hunched over holding myself up with my hands, but i'll get there.

in case you're wondering what i had for lunch today.  mommy gave me mangoes.  it was yummy.  i didn't make too many faces while i was eating it and i ate almost all of it except for one bite... and whatever was on my bib.  i think i'm starting to get use to this spoon feeding business, but i still like my milk better.  it's just easy, and i'm use to it.

daddy fed me sweet potatoes today.  it was a great success.  i didn't get it everywhere like i did when mommy fed me.  i also ate more than half of what mommy made.  maybe daddy just has the magic touch.  mommy made mangos and apples for this week.  yay!

i had carrots again yesterday.  i did a little better today.  i still wouldn't open up for mommy, but mommy gave me the spoon today and i put it in my mouth by myself.  i took about 5 good bites.  mommy made the carrots mushy enough to stick to the spoon.  of course, it still went all over the place when i started to bang the spoon on the table.

sweet potato didn't go so well.  it reminded me of carrots.  i think i'll try some green beans today after my nap.  we'll see how that goes.  i'm going to take a nap now...

here's a video of my cousin audrey and me.  she's helping me out with the swing.  when i start to get upset, she put her finger in my mouth like a pacifer.  i miss playing with her.  can't wait to see uncle danny, auntie fely, and audrey again.

mommy has only given me baby rice and carrot puree so far.  today she made pear puree and sweet potato puree for tomorrow.  when mommy puts pear into my mouth i make a sour face.  the pear wasn't sour... mommy checked.  i just like to make that face.  i spit most of it out.  mommy did figure out that it was easier to feed me with her finger than with the spoon.  mommy plans on making broccoli, apple, and maybe green bean puree later this week.  

gordon and kirsty invited mommy, daddy, and i to dinner last night.  i had a great time.  i love seeing people and going to new places.  kirsty gave me a rusk biscuit.  mommy and daddy had never heard of them before.  i loved it!  it's a biscuit that pretty much just dissolves in your mouth.  i loved it so much that when mommy tried to wipe away what was left around my mouth, i yelled.  mommy ordered some in next week's grocery delivery for me.  

here's more videos

i like to grab my feet now.  i like to grab them and put them in my mouth.  mommy doesn't like that very much.  she stops me every time i try.  i usually do this when she changes me.  it's easier without clothes and diapers restricting me.  

oh yea... another thing about my mouth... i don't open it when mommy is trying to feed me carrots or baby rice anymore.  mommy says she's going to try something new.  maybe i'll open up or maybe i won't.  we'll see how it tastes...

here's some more videos to catch up on...

mommy's over a week late with this video.  my first taste of baby rice...  my high chair hadn't come yet, and i was feeling a little lazy that day.
