2 Weeks Old!

Miss Peyton is two weeks old today!!

We are loving every minute- watching her change and grow daily is the best. She is steadily gaining weight and will soon be back to her birth weight. Peyton still has her days and nights mixed up a bit- she sleeps ok at night, but has nice long naps in the middle of the day... I try to convince her that these naps would be great at 2 or 3 am, but apparently hunger is more prevalent at these hours! Josh headed back to work this week, so Peyton and I are determined to get into a routine at some point. So far this routine consists of sleeping in until 10:30 or 11:00am (after being awake just about all night), eating lunch, taking a nap, eating a snack, getting a clean diaper, having another snack, maybe a cat nap here or there, a few more snacks... and before we know it, Daddy is home! Phew!
Enjoy the pictures-
Peyton loves for her daddy to hold her up in the air like this. It sometimes makes me a bit nervous, but usually makes her stop crying...

She has all sorts of interesting positions she likes to sleep in!

Peyton was not so appreciative of her first bath.

Peyton is One Week Old!

I can't believe Peyton is already a week old.

Today we went to meet Great-Grandma Harris & Great-Grandpa Stearns. All of this traveling made Peyton very sleepy (and hungry, of course)! We were exhausted by the time we got home.

Our sweet baby girl
Great-Grandpa Stearns came all the way from Oshkosh, WI to see Peyton. We traveled to Scottsdale to meet Great-Grandma Harris.

Introducing Miss Peyton Elayne!


Peyton Elayne Heilner was born on May 12th at 6:36pm. She was 6 pounds 12 ounces and 19 inches long. Of course we think (know) she is just perfect.
We are adjusting to life as a family of 3 quite nicely. Josh gets lots of sleep at night, Peyton sleeps whenever she wants, and I sleep... rarely. Peyton lost about 9 ounces of weight since she was born, so I am having to wake her every 2 hours to feed. Sometimes she eats for 20 minutes... other times 5. She ate for 2 1/2 hours yesterday- I guess she was hungry!
Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy.

Love,
Josh, Lori, Peyton, Duke, & Dutchess
