One Year Old!

Wow, it is hard to believe on June 26th Peyton turned one year! Peyton had an awsome party with lots of family and freinds. Water activies and pony rides were the big hit. Here is a picture that we had taken for his one year old pictures.

An update on Peyton's health. He seems to be doing really well and out growing a lot of problems that they thought were just related to prematurity. He still has acid reflux issues and throws up a lot but they also thought this just needed time, they said hopefully by 18 months he should out grow this too. Peyton saw the developmental doctor about two weeks ago and is a little behind on his montor skills but still think is okay. However, his speech does seem to be more significantly behind. We are just waiting and working with Peyton ourselves to see if it comes around. Peyton is still small for his age. He weights 20 pounds and 12 oz. and is about 27 inches. This puts him at about the 5% for his age on the growth chart. One of the problems is because Peyton will only eat certain foods and textures, he has a little bit of a texture issue and also still is not taking a sippy cup. We are working with the occupational therapist to hopefully resolve these issues, he also see the early childhood speacialist twice a month as well to stay on top of things.

Thank you for the continued prayers. As you can tell they have definitly worked, Peyton has comes so farr with so few problems now. Sorry I have not keep up the blog very well but those of you who have children know that once they start crawling and getting into everything it definitly becomes a full time job. I will try to at least every other month post a picture and tell you of his success. Again thank you for the thoughts and prayers. As I am able to I will post more pictures from his birthday of the cake and such.
