Two Weeks.... and growing like a weed!

So Miss Payton is 2 weeks old! (well she was when i started to write this post - and somehow I haven't found the time to finish and she's now 2 1/2 weeks old) Its hard to imagine that she's only been in our lives for two weeks. She is such a blessing.

We are of course like any new parents - tired! But for the most part she is a sweet baby. Even though she is slightly confused about what night time is. :)

We took her to the doctor last week - she's 9 lbs. already. Which isn't hard to believe because she is going to eat us out of house and home. We went through the big container of formula in 1 week. The pediatrician said she was a healthy baby and everything looked good except she has a mild case of thrush. Nothing much to worry about - we just have to give her medicine on her tongue, which makes her kinda fussy. Other than that we are so grateful that she is a healthy baby.

It is funny how you can already tell what some of her personality traits are. For one she is impatient. When she decides she's hungry there's no warning - just screaming until you get the bottle to the mouth. And she has a preference for being held standing up - my guess is she can see more then the back of the couch when you stand up. She also likes to test her daddy - she'll scream like she's starving and when Drew goes to feed her she falls asleep - it's funny actually.

I think she's going to turn over soon - when we check on her while she's sleeping alot of times she's rolled to her side. And I don't care what anyone says - I think she really does smile already. ( I know deep down it's probably just gas - but it still sweet).

Other than that - just normal baby stuff ..... eat, sleep, poop, cry, eat, sleep, poop, cry......

We were playing with the camera to try to get a picture for the announcements - they turned out so cute - she is the prettiest baby (I know all mom's think this).
