enough is enough....

Enough slacking, I'm promising now to make more of an effort to update this blog! Payton is growing so fast, I'm really going to regret not keeping this thing up to date. On July 4th she celebrated her half birthday, so hard to believe it's been 6 months! We've been having a great summer so far. Payton has made a few trips up north to Grammy and Gramps lake house in VT, we've been to the beach, she's been swimming in Memere and Grampy's pool, enjoyed a ride on a carousel, watched some fireworks, and has visited and played with a bunch of her little friends! She's rolling over like a PRO and making all kinds of noises. Recently she's started to sleep through the night, not waking up to eat until 5 then going back down for another hour and a half to two hours! Mom and dad are pretty psyched about that! She takes great naps during the day which we are all thankful for :) Although there aren't any teeth to show for it just yet, she's been teething for a while. Drooling all over the place and everything goes right in the mouth. She has started to eat solids which she LOVES. We were just given the green light to start her on stage 2 foods so good bye boring apples, prunes, carrots, peas, etc. and hello veggie medleys, apple sweet potato, mac and cheese with veggies, and all kinds of other mixtures. At her 6 month appointment yesterday, she weighed in at 17.9lbs and measured 27.5 inches. That puts her in the 75th percentile for weight and the 95th percentile for height! She's very healthy and growing steadily. She also got her ears pierced at her appointment! She looks even cuter if that's possible! I've posted some pics that highlight the first half of our summer....enjoy!
