More than I could have ever hoped for ...

Sleep, that is.

I never thought I would be able to get this much sleep with a 10-week-old baby. Oh, am I in heaven!

Thursday, Friday and Saturday night he slept 10-12 hours straight. The first night I woke up at his usual feeding time and was a little freaked out, but the next night I was able to quickly adjust.

I was really surprised he slept so well Friday night. We kept him up waaaaaaay past his bedtime at a mission reunion ... but he slept from 11 p.m. to 10:30 a.m. What's even better is he got right back on schedule last night and slept from 7:30 p.m. to 7:15 a.m.

I seriously did not expect this at all. And when he wakes up, he's not screaming or crying ... he just babbles in his crib. Smiles when we come in. Is happy for his diaper change. Eats like there's no tomorrow.

He's also been scooting and rolling over more and more. This morning I came in and he had rolled over again.

And he LOVES sucking on his fingers. Especially while he's sleeping. But it's not just a thumb ... it's his entire hand. Silly boy.

I took Peyton to meet some friends at my old job in the Digital Imaging Lab in BYU's Special Collections library. I also took Peyton to meet my friends at United Way of Utah County -- where I did my internship. I really need to be better at taking pictures ... we did a lot of fun things this week and I didn't take any!

We're actually in the market for a new camera. Our current camera is quite old. It also doesn't take a memory card anymore, so we can only get about 15 pictures on its internal memory. Plus, maybe Peyton will smile more if he doesn't recognize the photo-taking device. Probably not. But it's worth a shot.

I've thoroughly enjoyed General Conference so far. I'm excited for today's messages and I'm also excited to go to Uncle Alan and Aunt Shelly's for dinner tonight in SLC. Yum!
