4 Months!

Another great month is under out belt! We got to do a ton of fun stuff this month which also included another great trip back to Kentucky. Our girl is continuing to grow, change and achieve new tricks. She is still amazed with her feet and has been able to grab onto them. She still hasn't been able to get them to her mouth but I'm sure that is just around the corner. She is still loving her play mat and is now able to grab a lot of the toys. It's very funny when she gets frustrated because she's grabbed onto a toy and can't figure out how to let go of it. She has absolutely found her voice and loves squealing. She will wake up in the morning and entertain herself for quite sometime just discovering new sounds she can make. 

She still loves to eat but now when she nurses both hands and feet are very very busy. She's always trying to kick whatever seat we're in and grabs at my clothes or anything that's close by. I always know she has gone to sleep because her extremities are still for a change. She has been a pretty good sleeper still but when we travel her schedule gets so off and it takes her a while to get back on track. At least a couple nights out of the week she will sleep through the night, always thankful for those days. 

This month I got to celebrate my first mother's day. Jordan made this day so special for me and it was such a blessing to get to celebrate the best job I've ever had. My mom came down to visit for the weekend and it was wonderful to be able to see my momma for mother's day as well. We got to go on a walk at a new park that we discovered we love and also got to take Peyton hiking for the first time at Monte Sano. She was a champ hiking and we will be doing that more often. 

Jordan and I went on our first "date" since Peyton was born. Shapell watched Peyton for us while we grabbed Penn Station and went to Jordan's parents lot in the country and ate on the tailgate while enjoying the beautiful view (I know real romantic). It's amazing how much more conversation we can back into an hour without our little one distracting us. 


Peyton and I before Zach and Andrea's wedding. We had a blast and she was a hit. It was very funny to see Jordan's unmarried childless friends be entertained by her. I was totally surprised with how great they were with her.

Hiking!

We went to dinner at Coba Concina for mom's birthday and got all dressed up. We had a great time and loved checking out the jelly fish tank. 


We went to the park with Laura and Harper and Peyton got to swing for the first time. She needed a little extra cushion with a blanket but she seemed to enjoy herself. She easily could have fallen asleep in there. 


Thursday Night Live with Jack and Anna. 



One of my favorite things about Lexington is the farmers market and Peyton loved it as well.

This cutie hanging out with Peyton is Jack. We have gotten to hang out with several moms from our church that also recently had babies. Jack was born exactly one week after Peyton. It is been a huge blessing to get together with fellow God loving momma's to discuss what were all experiencing and share advice. I really could not be more thankful for these wonderful women! 


All the rest of the cuties. 

The day before her four month birthday Miss Peyton rolled over from belly to back. Hopefully it just wasn't a fluke and she will continue to perfect this new move.
