Hanging with Peyton

Since Amanda's last day at Sprint was Tuesday and she and Chad wanted to attend her going away happy hour party, Grammy was blessed with the opportunity to pick up Peyton at "school" and spend the evening with her - just us two!!!! It was absolutely awesome. She was a little unhappy when I arrived at school - they were trying to play with her and improve her mood - well, when she saw Grammy was there, she immediately brightened up - smiled - spit out her pacifier and was a happy camper. It made my day! We went to their house and spent a few minutes outside in the porch swing before having some cereal and sweet potatoes for dinner - most of it actually landed in her mouth! She is sooooooo helpful. We played for a while, then she was ready for a bottle. We played some more - she is getting quite good at rolling around, scooting around, etc. and being able to get to whatever toys she wants to play with, within reason. We read some books and started the bedtime routine when the parents came home. Peyton was so happy to see them - she smiled and smiled. After they had a few minutes with her, we finished her bedtime routine, and she was down for the night, sleeping through the night, of course. Grammy spent the night and was sure happy to see Peyton the next morning. Amanda and I took Peyton to school (the parents thought it was best if she stayed in her routine). Amanda and I then spent the morning shopping and running errands. We had lunch at a great little restaurant at Town Center Square before picking up Peyton around 1:30 p.m. We all visited until around 3 p.m. when Peyton went to the doctor with her Momma, and Grammy came back to Clinton. Peyton, 6 months, now weighs 15 lbs. 9 oz. and is 25 1/2 inches long - Perfect! The Todds are going to visit Clinton for part of the Memorial Day weekend - can't wait!
