I can't believe it's been 16 weeks since Payton was born. It's been such a great adventure and I look at him and can hardly remember what life was like before him (what did I do with my free time???). He is growing like a weed (he seems to grow out of his sleepers weekly now!), almost graduated to size 2 diapers, and super chatty. His absolute favorite thing to do is stand (with support of course) and flirt (while standing!). I have discovered that he loves to watch the sights and sounds of the TV so will have to get some good videos for him. And don't worry, I'd pick Sesame Street and the Muppets over Teletubbies and Barny any day!
We had a fun weekend in Seattle (some work, some play) and the 'city' Gramma and Grampa got some good quality time with the little man. Paytons' Auntie came and babysit as well. She is very amazed at how much he eats (me too!). Although he is still sleeping 12 hours a night so I can't complain :)
I believe his Hernia is correcting itself but we go to the doctor on Aug. 12 for his 4 month checkup so they'll take a more thorough look then. I hope we can avoid surgery and it's looking that way. Woo hoo!
The biggest change is that Payton is starting to really focus and grasp things with his hands. We went on a walk yesterday and he started getting a bit fussy so I gave him Winston's plastic poop bag (no, there wasn't poop in it!!) and that kept him busy the whole way home! of course he tried to eat it but he really just loved the sound it made when he touched it. He also perks up whenever we play music and Ryan has taken to making his own techno beats and Payton dances along (I'm not kidding, he moves side to side when Ry plays the piano). it's great to watch.
We are looking forward to a relaxing weekend!
