It's very hard to believe how quickly Payton is growing. It sometimes felt like time stood still during pregnancy, but it seems to fly by now that we're parents. These first few months have come and gone and I can honestly say they have been some of the most challenging yet rewarding times. Payton has blessed our lives and brought us so much purpose and joy! I especially really enjoy watching her and her Daddy bond. Not only is he a great husband, but watching Scott become a terrific father has been so heartwarming. I heard him and another guy talking the other day about having daughters and he said "hook, line and sinker" he fell in love with her.
To me, Payton seems to be growing leaps and bounds, but in all reality she's just a petite little baby doll right now. She weighs about 12 pounds and is about 24.5 inches long. Her eyes are still blue and she only has bits of peach fuzz for hair. Part of me can't wait for the days when she's toddling around and beginning to talk, and the other part of me wishes I could keep her my baby doll forever. No matter what, she'll always be our "punkin pie."
Here she is with her puppy. You can scroll back a ways to see a previous post where she was 1-month and 2-months. You can really tell here how much she has grown and that she really wants to sit up. She's nearly sitting up all by herself.

She's getting so big! Before you know it she'll be walking and talking, and you'll forget what it was like when she couldn't do those things. Have you already packed away clothes that are too small that she never got to wear?

She is so beautiful. She's like... perfect. Leave it to Dana to have a perfect baby... You're probably in a size 4 about now too : ) That daddy-daughter bond is something, isn't it. Musicians are always singing about it. My current favorite is "Daughter in the Water." Here's a YouTube video of some random family set to that song. It always gets me choked up.
