I win the Bad Mother Award for 2007. My 5 1/2 month old child fell off the bed this morning. Yup. So here's how the story goes. Rob left this morning at 5:30 a.m.ish. When he left he accidentally shut our bedroom door. Well...that put Havick in a tizzy. Havick started barking outside our door at 6:15 a.m. That woke our princess who was sleeping in bed with us. (I know that's not right and I have learned my lesson, but the child likes to eat and her mother likes to sleep so it's worked to this point.) I get up and open the door to let Havick in the bedroom. I then get back in bed on Rob's side and put some pillows all around the bed to barricade the child in. I know she can roll around and scoot so I tried to prepare. Well, we were playing and cooing at each other. Next thing I know I hear a THUD and then a little cry. I fly out of bed (must have fallen asleep) yelling profanities and scoop my little sunshine off the floor. The pillow must have broken her fall because as soon as I picked her up she stopped crying. It wasn't one of those screaming cries either. It was more like "what the hell just happened" cry. Poor thing. I looked her over and over and moved all of her body parts. She was okay. THANK GOD. I am so lucky that she did not hurt herself.
Lesson learned - she will now sleep right next to me and I will always have a hand on her. I now know why my girlfriend said she was going to put her bed on the floor. I thought to myself "why would you do that - just put your kid in his crib." That's what I get.
Wish me luck in transitioning Peyton back to her crib. HA!

5 1/2 months old
Dolled up family photo - we should have put Peyton in a fancy dress. 
Mamma's Girl
She loves her highchair. Too cute. She continued to lick and eat the table. We are now sitting up on her own unassisted. And, she's up on all fours rocking back and forth. 
Computer time with Daddy.
