So I felt a
bit guilty after giving some of my blogging friends (mainly Christine & Chrissy) a hard time about not having an recent posts... and then I realized that I hadn't posted in a while... I
thought about posting... and I
meant to post several times, but something always came up... usually Peyton. So to make up for my guilt, I decided to complete a posting marathon today. So in less than an hour, I posted 6 times... so do I win?
She is full of tricks now- she can squeeze through the baby gate if we aren't super careful about getting it to close AND latch. She
follows chases Duke around the family room. She turns the cable box on and off and on and off and on and off.... usually during shows that we are trying to watch (maybe she is trying to tell us something). She loves the doggy-door.... Probably should be renamed Peyton's door. Since she has been a bit sniffly the past few days she is also a little extra cuddly. She will put her head on my belly, suck her thumb, and hum to herself... sometimes falling asleep like this. I know it won't be long before she doesn't want to sit on my lap or cuddle with me, so I try to soak up these moments and engrave them in my heart.
Lately when Peyton gets up in the morning, she only lasts a few hours before needing a nap... so typically I go back to bed at the same time. These 6am wake-ups are a bit too much for me while I am on summer vacation! Peyton was taking 2 2 1/2 hour naps, but she is down to sleeping just 1 hour in the morning... sometimes longer (like right now). But lately I've been hearing Peyton cry... when she isn't really crying??? Am I going crazy??? What the heck?! But as I lay in bed knowing that she isn't
really crying, I think of many moments that I want to remember forever. It's like a wake-up call to me... to remember these moments when she is tiny, loving, and precious... can't she stay small forever???
