3 weeks

Peyton is 3 weeks old today! I am not sure how much she weighs, but I can tell that she is growing and continues to nurse well. I have started to dig around the 0 - 3 month clothes and may need to put the newborn clothes aside...sigh. She is such a sweet girl and I love my time with her even when it is divided between her brother, her daddy or my work. Here is a sweet picture I took while we sat outside this afternoon. I am thankful for this little girl.

I have a co-worker who send me a link to her Granddaughter's Etsy site. That is where I found this headband. Super Cute!! I am going to ask for this for Peyton's first Birthday :) Oh yes, this is a headband.

Slide Scrape

Here is a picture of the scrape on Preston's forehead and nose from his slide. He doesn't seem bothered by the cuts on his face, but is a bit weary of the slide. I asked him if he wanted to go down the slide yesterday afternoon and he said 'no mommy, its scary'. I hope this cuts heal quickly and well.

Oh yes, here is a picture of our little girl. She is doing well :)
These pictures were taken with my camera phone...not the best...but will work.

Monday

Overall, the Dalbey four had a good weekend. We spent some time together on Friday evening, did some yard work on Saturday, hung out with some friends on Sunday and even finished a few loads of laundry. Our power did go out on Sunday evening which was a bummer. Apparently the wind damaged our area transformer. Thank you, Grammie and Poppa, for letting us spend the night. We are now back at home and doing well. At this moment, both my children are asleep...I wonder how long this will last. Here is a cute photo of Peyton from the weekend.

Oh yes, Preston did have a minor accident on Sunday. He decided to go head first down his slide in the backyard and scraped his forehead and nose. Poor buddy! I will post a photo tomorrow.

Peyton Update

We took Peyton in for her 2 week checkup yesterday and everything looks great. She has gained weight and is up to 7lbs 9oz. She continues to nurse well and still needs to eat every 3 hours. Her longest sleeping stretch was 5 hours on Wednesday night. Last night we had a 4 hour stretch...not bad. We are also learning that she is a cuddle bug. She just loves to be held and view the world from our arms. Overall, she is a very sweet baby and we are very thankful that she is doing well.
