PEYTON- 4 months old!
On the scale, getting weighed.
We are happy that Peyton is growing, healthy, and happy. Her measurements/ percentile are:
Weight: 12 lbs. 9 oz. (25% - 50%)
Height: 24 in. (50% - 75%)
Head: 39.5 cm (10% - 25%)
Getting checked out by her doctor
(Mrs.) Dr. Tracy Frausto ~ East Valley Pediatrics
So, she is overall fairly close to average, although her head is still relatively small. Dr. Frausto said that she thinks Peyton looks great and is a very pretty baby. The bad news: She said she is a little worried about the back of P's head, since it is a bit flat (since Peyton loves to lay on the floor and hates tummy time). So, at the next appt. we will have to really look at that and see if she will need a helmet. :( Also, she is sending Peyton to a Pulmonary Specialist to see if her airway valves are just small or what, since P has a hard time if she cries too hard (she starts wheezing, choking, and sounds like she can't breathe).
Also, Peyton had to get 6 shots since we missed her 2 month wellness visit since she was sick and on medicine, so that made me pretty sad. I hate shots, so i took Brightlie and left the room when the nurses came in for the shots. I knew if i broke down, B would have a nervous breakdown too, so we went to use the potty, and came back and Peyton was all done!
Nurse Tara and Peyton after her shots.
Our favorite person is the head nurse, Tara, who is so very
enthusiastic whenever she sees Brightlie. She is a great nurse,
and is always so willing to smile for pictures, give Brightlie stickers
& a sucker, and compliment my kiddos (and me as their mom).
Nurse Tara, Brightlie, and Peyton.
Brightlie is a such a great big sister. She stood by Peyton most of the time,
and was quite concerned at what the Dr. and Nurse were doing to her sister.
So cute! In this pic she was so worried about why P was sad and
kept saying "it's ok Peyton". What a good sister!!!
Me & my girls!
(I'm smiling & happy everything went smoothly. B has a sucker in her mouth.
And poor pout-faced Miss Peyton was ready to get out of there!)
Fun facts about our little 4 month old Miss Peyton:
- Loves to be held, but also loves to lay flat on her back on the floor and just wriggle and kick her feet
- Smiles all the time!
- Loves to "stand" and has very strong legs
- Is getting close to teething, and is becoming very drooly.
- Is very possibly going to be a thumb-sucker. She doesn't really like binkies, but prefers to suck on her fist.
- Is my cuddle bug!
- Has a strong neck and good head/neck control. Loves to look around at everything!
- Sleeps every night in her swing, doesn't sleep for long if it isn't moving.
- Loves to be in the pool or in the bath tub- she just really enjoys water!
We sure love our little Miss Peyton!
Such a sweetie- we are so blessed to have her in our family!
