Looking Back - Second Month

My biggest fear about starting a blog was that I wouldn't be able to maintain it. I visit the weekly posts of friends and the pressure builds. It seems that 3am (see previous midnight post) might just be the only reliable time to get the job done. I'm just not sure that my mind is as reliable at that hour.

Last Thursday was Peyton's two month wellness check. Has it really been two months? Say it isn't so. Now that I'm feeling more like myself these days. Or rather, more adjusted to my new (I don't need 9 hours of sleep, lists to navigate my day, predictability, control or showers anymore) self, I want a redo. The first few weeks of Peyton's life were such a blur and I want them back. Is this how the next 19 years will feel? It's only been 2 months (8 short weeks. 56 days) and I'm already sad that my Little Dude is growing so quickly. He's too big for his britches - literally. He weighed in last week at 12.36 pounds and was 23.5 inches. In a few weeks, maybe days, he won't be able to wear some of his 0-3 month clothes. I washed the 3-6 month outfits yesterday, just in case.

In an effort to feel better, I browsed through the hundreds of pictures we've taken to remind myself of all our happy moments. Boy do I love this kid! Here's month two in review:

8 Weeks - So Big!

Sorry, Steve. Thanks for trying.

Steve Offers A Helping Hand With Peyton's First Bottle

No nipple confusion for our little barracuda. He downed it in less than a minute.

Peyton says, "Boobies please. They're 'Double the pleasure. Double the fun!'"

Steve says, "Ditto."

Sorry, Steve. Thanks for trying.
