Four Months...and Changes

So on June 25th, Peyton turned 4 months old. I can't believe how fast he is growing!! At his last check-up, he was 15 pounds, 7.5 ounces and almost 25 inches long. He's a chunk!! He still hasn't rolled over yet, and still hates his tummy time. He is getting closer to rolling over but after about three minutes on his tummy, all he does is cry. My cute, pathetic little man :) The last week and a half or so, he has been pretty fussy and I wasn't sure why, but now I think we are teething. On his bottom jaw, there looks like there might be two teeth struggling to break free. He still sleeps normally through the night but is fussier during the day. That's okay, he's still super cute!



So the biggest thing that has changed is we have finally moved to Cedar City. We are living with Jayson's parents and it looks like we will be here for a while. I'm so thankful that they are putting up with two more adults, a baby and two dogs moving into their basement! I'm glad to finally be down here but it's bittersweet. I haven't ever really moved away from my family before and now that we have a little one, it seems even harder. Being in Cedar City means that we're finally going back to school but I still miss my family like crazy. Before we left, Jayson and I took the family to the Living Planet Aquarium in Salt Lake City (well, Sandy). It was so much fun! There was a sea turtle and penguins...all that I needed to be happy!
The picture is a little blurry because he was swimming so fast...this little guy booked it around his tank! It was so cool!!



So that's pretty much all that is new with us for now. It's been a fast and crazy month but a good one overall. My mom and I are already devising plans for me to be able to come up to Logan next month around her birthday so hopefully it works out so that I can! I just want to close by saying how in the past month, my testimony of Jesus Christ has increased so much. I know that without Him and the Church, I wouldn't be able to go through this--while moving down here is a good idea, it's still very difficult for me to be so far away from my family--and without His help, I would be a complete mess. I am very thankful for the Church and for His guidance and I know that the Church is true and I say these things humbly in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.





P.S. A note for Peyton:
Everyday with you is an absolute adventure. I love watching how much you grow and learn every day. It's like I can almost see your thoughts as you see something new for the first time, like when you were watching the sea turtle swim by with your daddy. I love you so much Peyton, I don't think you will ever know how much. You and your daddy are my everything. I can't wait to see what the next day will bring! I love you!!
