1 Month - 1.21.13

Payton Rose was one month last Friday. It is incredible that time has flown by already. We spent some time on her 4 week birthday trying to capture her at this moment on her life. After 30 or so photos, I we decided on one that we think totally represents her as it is one of her most seen expressions of our little girl.

Payton and Mommy spend all of our days and our nights together. Some of them include some wonderful sleep, whereas others are full more of chatting and cooing. Of course we get the occasional fussiness. . . usually when Payton is being fed fast enough or when she has a dirty diaper (she isn't a fan of that feeling).

We are all still adjusting to our lack of sleep or disrupted sleep schedule but are loving every minute of our new lives.  Mommy and Payton have started somewhat of a morning and daytime routine that includes naps, visitors, and playtime.

Marley (our lab) has calmed down since the arrival of Payton Rose and likes to lay at the feet of whomever is holding her. Wilfred (Jillian's cat who lives with us) also has interest in being near where Payton is. The animals seem to want to be protective of her. This makes having them around her a bit more calming to the adults at home.

Here is one of my favorites of the day. This photo was captured during Payton's visit with the Grand PB & J.
