baby peyton

i'm not sure about this place... ever since moving here, i've only had a few nights good sleep.  i don't know if it's a little noisier here or if it's because i'm sick again, or maybe even teething.  whatever it is, i hope i get use to it.

other than that the place is really nice.  mommy and daddy have made it so that i can crawl wherever i want and not be too worried about computer cables.  now all they have to worry about is me using anything and everything to stand myself up.  that's not the part that concerns mommy tho.  she's worried about how i'm going to get down...  see i haven't quite figured out how to do that gracefully yet.  i know that i've bonked my head a few times.  i've also gone from standing position to pushup position.  yea... that hurt my wrists a bit.

mommy taught me what a cow says.... it says "mmmmmmmm".

sorry i haven't been posting much.  we've been packing... homeless... and unpacking the past few weeks.  i just wanted to come on real quick and say.  i walked by myself with my walker today!  well... mommy followed closely behind me.

i got a package in the mail today.  it was from auntie emily!  my first b-day present!  yay!  i can’t wait to open it tomorrow.  mommy got me a present today also.  she ordered mine last week, but it seems to have gotten lost or something so she went to mothercare to get it for me.  i can’t wait to see what daddy bought me.  i can’t wait for tomorrow.  here are some pictures from yesterday and today.  the iphone is always so handy.

it was raining today so i stayed indoors.  today i went from my belly to sitting position all by myself.  daddy is out of town today.  =/  he's not going to be home till friday night.  usually i'm asleep by the time he gets home.  so i'll see him on saturday.  monday is a bank holiday for daddy.  yay!

daddy found out today that the earliest we can move into our new place is the 25th of september.  sucks... i'm very eager to get into the new place.  oh well.  i hope i'm not scared or my new room.

there was a gala this past weekend at the park down the street from our flat.  not much i could do there since i don't walk or anything, but we checked it out anyways.  i saw a horse for the first time.

so the landlord asked mommy and daddy to move out in two months because he plans on selling the place... i guess that means me too.  daddy wanted to find a place  where i would have more room for safe playing.  uncle gordon and auntie kirsty helped us find a terrific place in the west end of greenock.  we're going later on today to apply for it.

here's me hanging out  me hanging out in our flat with uncle gordon and auntie kirsty's youngest son.

oops.  i thought i great grandma's quilts was in the last post.  here it is.  this is me playing with great grandma's beautiful quilts.

i have had the sniffles the past few days.  i'm getting better now.

here are some videos from last month when my great grandparents, grandma, and aunt came to visit me.  my great grandma made another beautiful quilt for me.  it's in one of these videos.

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.

here it is...

it was fun... i loved it!

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.

mommy is trying to figure out why i won't eat after eating so well the day after i got sick.  i seem to be letting her put finger foods into my mouth like tofu, pasta, and chunks of salmon.  i'm suddenly not letting her put mushy foods into my mouth.  she's worried because i'm eating a lot less than i normally do... and i woke up last night to drink milk.

oh yea... i updated my photo collection.  links is to the left.

i had a bad day yesterday.  daddy and mommy dressed me up all pretty and took me out to see what was going on at the west end festival.  we got as far as the botanic garden when i started to get upset at things that i don't normally.  daddy was smart and said we should go home.  i fell asleep on the way home, but as always, the elevator in our building always wakes me up.  it'll say..."ground floor", "doors opening", and "doors closing".  we get into the elevator and just as i'm falling back asleep it'll say... "3rd floor", "doors opening", and "doors closing".  we got inside and mommy was going to put me in bed.  she felt my stomach grumble.  she knew what was coming.  i blew chunks all over her.  daddy and mommy cleaned me up.  i took a very, very long nap, so long that mommy was worried and had to check in on me.  she worries too much.

we're still not sure what it was.  might have been bad chicken and carrots i had for lunch.  mommy threw out the rest of the chicken.  or it could have been the heat.  mommy dressed me quite warmly, but then the sun came out.  i didn't eat anything for the rest of the day.  when i woke up, mommy tried to give me some milk... bad idea... she gave me a rice cake... another bad idea... water... still no good.  i ended up going to bed without eating at all.  i woke up around 3:30 am.  mommy gave me some water.  it took a little while for me to fall back asleep.  i woke up very hungry this morning at 8:30 am.  mommy mushed up a banana for me to eat, but i was still hungry.  she mushed up another half of a banana.  it stayed down!!!  good thing too cuz i don't think mommy could handle me being sick all by herself.  daddy had to fly off to southhampton this morning.

this video is for daddy...  i want to show him that i'm feeling better and back to myself again.  don't worry about me, daddy!

yes, they're coming... both the bottom ones i believe...

i wonder why my feet are so sweaty... it's not like i wear shoes or socks or walk on them all the time.  mommy trys to put me in jammies that are footless most of the time.  she's not having any luck finding new ones that will fit me when i grow out of the ones grandma, grandpa, aunt amber, and aunt emily bought me.  it seems like the only ones they sell here are footed, or they cost tons.

with all this talk of feet, mommy decided to take another comparison picture of my feet.  the first one is one that i posted before.  it's from 5 months ago.  the second one is from today.  boy have they grown.
