Happy 2 months!

Yesterday Payton celebrated 2 months since her birth! She has been up to a lot in the past 2 months. She can now smile, is cooing and finding her voice, and loves to pump her legs. OH and did I mention, growing like a little weed?! She has put on almost 6 pounds since she was born!! She continues to be a great eater, as you can tell, and is a great sleeper too. We have begun putting her in her bed at night and she is doing fabulous. (I think this was only a difficult transition for mommy and maybe daddy too) She has a long stretch of 6-8 hours in between feedings at night too, so this is good for mommy. Even though the time begins at 7 or 8.

She had her 2 month appointment today and the doctor is super pleased with how well she is doing. She smiled and cooed for the doctor. Payton also showed off how strong her neck is and really moved her legs like she wanted to go somewhere when she put her on her tummy. The only downside was that doctor still has no advice for me about her spitting up (and occasional returning of whole meals on me). She thinks it is just that her tummy is still adjusting and the valve at the top needs to get stronger. Hopefully by 6 months it will be much better and after the next appointment we will get to add in solids and she said that will help too. Payton got 3 shots and an oral vaccine too. I was able to hold her during the shots and she really only cried when she got stuck. She was a super patient today!!

Here is how she stacks on top of, oh wait, I mean up to other babies:
13 pounds 3 ounces (96th %tile) WOW is right...you can all say that again!
22 1/2 inches (56th %tile)
And her head is almost 16 inches around (88th %tile)

I now realize that I was not imagining that she was growing out of her 0-3 month clothes (and current seize diapers..)and I am all set to go with the next size:)
Double biceps pose for daddy!
