The past couple weeks have been pretty mellow and busy at the same time. Last week Payson's one month check up went great. He passed all of his milestone tests with flying colors despite the fact that his weight gain has been slow. He seems to start a new habit or phase every other day. We are working hard at getting him to take naps during the day alone. His morning naps usually go well but the rest of the day he won't sleep unless he is with me or Paul. He definitely realizes if we pass him off and someone else is holding him. He loves bath time, which is usually given by Paul. He stills sleeps great at night, only waking up once to feed for a few minutes and then falls back to sleep until the morning. His favorite position to feed in is on his stomach while I lay on my back- don't ask me why, but he loves it. He also sleeps that way all night long.
My brother and sister-in-law, Daniel and Ann, are in town visiting us right now. They have enjoyed spending this precious time with Payson. They are expecting their own baby girl, Alexis Grace, at the beginning of October. We are looking forward to Payson and Alexis growing up together since they will be so close in age. They are also taking the Bradley birth class in hopes of having a natural and drug-free birth. Tomorrow we are all taking the metro into DC to have lunch with Paul and tour the city. Let's hope Payson does well out all day.
Here are a bunch of recent pictures for everyone to enjoy.

*This picture was too funny not to post. Payson fell asleep with his hand in this position.*
