Rice Cereal

Last night I decided to go ahead and give Payton a little rice cereal. Here is a video. She is so funny.

New swing!!

Payton got a new swing... she isn't too sure what to think of it!! This is a travel swing, so we can take it places if needed!! :)

(I know the outfit looks like it is for a little boy, but it says "Mommy Rules" :)

First time in a highchair

Tonight Payton sat in a highchair for the first time!! She sat so quiet while we ate dinner. I think she liked being at our level rather than sitting in her bouncy seat while we eat.

Happy 3 month birthday!!

Today Payton is 3 months old!! Where does the time go??

Here is my smiling baby!!!

What to do??

Since Payton was born I have always tried to put her to bed (which means lay her in her pack n play) at around 10 o' clock. For the first 2 months she would wake up 3 times. How I come up with 3 times.... if she wakes up anytime from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. When she hit 2 months old she started only waking up around 2 times. But, for the past 2 weeks she has been back to waking up 3 times during the night. It isn't every single night, but it has been most nights. When she wakes up, she goes back to sleep no problem, I can hardly get her to hold her head up halfway through the bottle. So I ask, "why doesn't she just keep sleeping?" We have been going more places and doing things during the day because it seems on those days that she sleeps longer through the night. The past few days we have done stuff, and it hasn't helped her sleep longer!!

I am thinking that I am going to try to give her rice cereal at night. I really don't know what else to try? Anyone have any suggestions??

Also, her nap time. I take full respsonsibilty for my child being spoiled and not wanting to be laid down during her naps. I have always rocked her and then some how I ended up holding her through the nap. But, in my defense the reason I did it most of the time was because she would wake up each time I laid her down, so at the time I wanted to get in a little nap too so it just seemed easier to hold her. Well- now you can imagine I am having a hard time getting her to nap without me holding her. She has taken a few naps that last about 30 minutes without me holding her. And maybe that is all she wants to sleep?? I don't know. But she still seems tired when she wakes up. I am wondering if I should put her in a sleeper for nap time too? I really don't know. I ask myself all the time "where did I go wrong?" I know she is only 3 months but it seems to be the most important time since you are trying to get a baby on somewhat of a schedule.

Play date

This morning Payton and I went to a play date at Monica and Abbey's and we had a great time. Thank you Monica and Abbey for having us over!!

No matter how tired or upset Payton is, I can always depend on the bath to make her happy!!!
